Everything is for searching/finding files and folders.

For what you want, you need a 3rd party application launcher. Here are the ones that use Everything for finding files.
(Not sure if all of those support what you want)

Thank you for your post nedvoors,

To create a shortcut to Windows Update:
  • Right click your Desktop and click New -> Shortcut.
  • Set the location of the item to:
    ms-settings:windowsupdate
  • Click Next.
  • Set the Name to:
    Update
  • Click Finish.
Move the shortcut to another folder if desired, for example: C:\Shortcuts

To find this shortcut in Everything, search for:
update.url

Feel free to rename the shortcut to anything you like.



Other useful setting locations.
