As I remember it, when an update check occurs a cookie is stored that prevents a new update or check for 1 hour. So, you should use the /resetauthorization switch, along with /detectnow, like this:

wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow

Sometimes this works:

From an elevated prompt, stop the update services with

net stop wuauserv

Delete the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, then restart update services. (net start wuauserv). Then, run wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow.
