How to Update Windows Service Pack via Registry using Command Prompt

To do the trick, follow these steps below:
1.) Open Notepad Editor.
2.) Copy the Code below and Paste it on the Notepad Editor Window you've just opened.
3.) Save the File as ServicePack.bat on your desktop so you can access it easily.
4.) Locate and Double-Click the file to Open it.
5.) Restart your computer to apply changes.
6.) After restarting, Open up your System Properties and you'll be able to see that it's updated.
This is for information purposes only, if you encounter any problem after performing the above steps then do the following to restore the original values.
1.) Open RUN.
2.) Copy and Paste this in the box "regedit.exe /s C:\SPBackup.reg" without the "quotes".
3.) Press Enter.
4.) Restart your computer to apply changes.
