Edit

Initiates a new scan for updates on the device.

public:
 virtual void StartScan(bool userInitiated) = StartScan;

void StartScan(bool const& userInitiated);

public void StartScan(bool userInitiated);

function startScan(userInitiated)

Public Sub StartScan (userInitiated As Boolean)

Parameters

userInitiated: Boolean
bool

Specifies whether the scan should be performed as if initiated by a user.

Remarks

If a scan is started with userInitiated set to true, then it will function the same as if a user had clicked "Check for updates" from the Settings page. That will result in the updates being processed at higher priority, and will bypass a variety of blocks that can apply to background scans.

If a WindowsUpdateAdministrator has been registered using RequireAdministratorApprovalForScans, then this scan attempt will be blocked, because only scans initiated via StartAdministratorScan are allowed in that mode.
