Auto Update VISUAL STUDIO 2019/2017 on Windows

I have some development machines with Visual Studio 2017 and/or 2019 installed. Too many to constantly install updates in.

For a long time I was looking for a solution for this, but I did not find one. Supposedly the automatic update of Visual Studio is not possible.

In the end… I have found a way.

In a nutshell:

1. Download the latest Visual Studio Installer for the respective version.
2. Install the VS Installer update.
3. Use the VS Installer to run the Visual Studio Update.

Look at this:
