Steps for Applying Servicing Stack and Quality Updates:

1. Download Updates:

   • On an internet-connected system, visit the Microsoft Update Catalog.
   • Search for the specific updates you need (e.g., Servicing Stack Updates, Cumulative Updates).
   • Download the update files (usually in .msu format).

2. Transfer Updates:

   • Transfer the downloaded update files to the offline system using a USB drive or network share.

3. Install Updates:

   • On the offline system, open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Navigate to the directory where the update files are located.
   • Run the following command to install each update:

     wusa.exe updatefile.msu /quiet /norestart
     

     Replace updatefile.msu with the actual file name of the update.

4. Restart System:

   • After installing the updates, restart the system to complete the installation process.
5. Finalize:
   • Clean up files, take a new snapshot, and re-capture using Image Assist.
