I remember a while ago that I could download any Windows/Microsoft update I wanted by going to a site on Microsoft.com, and just clicking download against any update.

It also had a brilliant search feature so that I could type either an update number or a basic search term and it would find all the certified packages that can be delivered through Windows update (WHQL drivers etc.)

It is driving me mad, I have spent the best part of the day (along with other tasks!) trying to find this link!

Does anyone know what it is?

Are you referring to the Windows Update Catalog? That's the only one that comes to mind and offers the functionality you want.

  • Forgot it was Internet Explorer only - Anyway, I just forgot what it was called and could not find it in my favourites - have been looking pretty much all day for this. Thank you so much! Oct 18, 2009 at 17:33
  • No problem! It's not that easy to find, to be honest :)

  • I was searching for update directory, list, offline and more - never looked for catalogue!, however I am wondering if this was one of the sites I found, but because of the message about browser, I ignored it :S I hope not! but anyway, thanks again! shame I can't give extra reward / bounty on correct answers :( Oct 18, 2009 at 17:45
  • It's no problem, I'm glad I could help! I know how frustrating it is to look for something but can't find it. By the way, this is how I remembered about Windows Update Catalog; I found this article: support.microsoft.com/kb/323166
