what is your way to find out the correct url for a single patch? and
the chain of updates? (especially update of updates...) I can imagine
it is a really exhausting task, so if anyhow we can try to help, and
have time for it, we can add something to this great project! i have
never tested a way to find out how to collect a list of patches needed
(in the correct order). after that, we may be able to help. especially
on or local version, so you can be a bit under less pressure :) I
would like to help with this, but need guidance in collecting patch
list (maybe wsus log can help... who know, i will take a look) AND
their url (sometimes they are not so easy to find; rather looks like
hidden knowledge...)

arent they ask only for downloading? maybe an alternate method can
help those, who have a collection of patches (wsus, or personaly
patches; your url collection method can help to keep track "site
specific patch list. somehow.)

I dont know why should anyone install without drivers but an on/off
switch can help, that is a good suggestion. if you need driverless
installation (why anyway? :) i cant guess, maybe the one who asked can
enlight us)

how can it be kept track?  I mean how can you decide which patch can
be skipped because it is overwritten by something else, later?

most of the time it needs user interaction. even with wsus. nonsense.
