Windows Update MiniTool is a really nice alternative to the built-in Windows Update. Supports Windows 2000 to Windows 10. It works really well.

Check links below for info, updates and download links. I won't be updating this post. Too lazy for that.

It seems portable by itself but since it requires you to download and scan stuff in system folders, I'm not too sure about it.
