Is it possible to update Windows from Ubuntu?

I imagine that this is probably not possible, but worth asking because I'd find it useful if it were!

I dual boot my system with Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows 7. Though I rarely nowadays use Windows so whenever I do have to boot into it there are always lots of updates to install and I have to wait when shutting down for these to install before I can access Ubuntu again.

So I was wondering whether it would be possible to somehow keep Windows updated in the background from Ubuntu? Is there a way to mount the Windows partition and run the Window Updater or is this way to complicated a task?

No that's Impossible you need to be In Windows to update Windows, the same way you need to be in Ubuntu to update Ubuntu. Unless of course you're in a Virtualmachine where the 2 systems are running at the same time.
