On my computer (Win10 Enterprise x64, 1709) running Update-Help
returns two errors:
update-help : Failed to update Help for the module(s) 'AutoSequencer, HostNetworkingService, WindowsUpdateProvider' with UI culture(s) {en-US} : Unable to retrieve the HelpInfo XML file for UI culture en-US. Make sure the HelpInfoUri property in the module manifest is valid or check your network connection and then try the command again.

This is a problem because I'm scripting windows updates for the first time and having the help files for WindowsUpdateProvider is kind of important. Even if I knew how to find and fix the "HelpInfoUri" property, I wouldn't know what to set it to - a Google search for "WindowsUpdateProvider help" mostly returns people asking about this problem in various languages, with no solutions I can see. This likewise means I can't work around the problem by using online help. (Get-Help WindowsUpdateProvider -online returns a similar error.)
I am aware of the "PSWindowsUpdate" module but due to our processes, using a module that ships with Windows 10 would be preferable.
