Choco Update Choco
cup all -y is used to update all Chocolatey packages at boot. At the moment there is an issue in the latest version of VirtualBox, and I want to avoid that this package is updated at boot while the other packages need to be updated.
Attempt to solve the issue
I have checked the help function of the command:
But it does not seem to have a function to exclude a certain package.
How do I update all packages at boot, except one?

You have two options: pin or exclude items at runtime.
Pin Packages to Suppress Upgrades
You can pin any program you don't want updated.
Type choco pin -h for more details. If that command doesn't give you anything, please upgrade Chocolatey to at least 0.9.9.x.
Pin Command
Pin a package to suppress upgrades.
This is especially helpful when running choco upgrade for all packages, as it will automatically skip those packages. Another alternative is choco upgrade --except='pkg1,pk2'.
Usage Crack adobe illustrator cs6.
Examples
NOTE: --reason option ONLY available in Chocolatey for Business (C4B).
Exclude Packages At Runtime
Sometimes you just simply want to exclude items you would normally include in upgrades. You don't want pins as those are meant to live longer than a single command run. That is where the Exclude option comes in to your upgrade command.
As of Chocolatey v0.9.10, when calling upgrade, you can pass the optional --except as a switch for upgrade. An example would be choco upgrade all --except='conemu'.

There is Ketarin to update Chocolatey packages and push them to chocolatey.org automatically, but how do I automatically update all locally installed Chocolatey packages?

Try choco upgrade all -y (or cup all -y). One can create a scheduled task to run in the evenings that would do this.
Update - Sept 2018
As well as choco-upgrade-all-at-startup to upgrade all packages on startup (mentioned above), there is also now a choco package choco-upgrade-all-at that can be used to check/upgrade all packages as often (e.g. daily, weekly.) as you require, at a time that suits :-)
A downside of using the public repository of course is that you are dependant on other people to maintain the packages largely out of the goodness of their hearts, so you should probably still run something like SUMo once in a while to keep an eye on things if you are using this to keep your own machines up-to-date. Organisations are strongly encouraged to host and maintain their own repo rather than use the public one for this reason.
Note: this answer was relevant for some quite old version of Chocolatey (0.9.8 and older).

You should be aware that Chocolatey in fact doesn't update already installed packages (neither cup all or cup <package>), but rather installs a newer version(s) beside older one(s). So you'll end up with a stack of previously installed versions of a package(s) on your system. And there is currently no way to uninstall the specific version of the package except the most recent one using Chocolatey.
UPDATE: according to @ferventcoder's comment, Chocolatey of version 0.9.9+ does a real update now! This is huge improvement actually. Versions 0.9.8 and bellow do just an install as described earlier. See release notes for details about new C# client.
For choco v0.10.1+, use:
From v1.0.0 choco update is deprecated:
Another option is to use the choco-upgrade-all-at-startup package by issuing:
Once the installation is complete, a scheduled task has been created that upgrades all packages when the computer boots. Note: if one uses a laptop, please ensure that this is on AC power. Otherwise the scheduled task will not be run and the chocolatey packages will not be updated.
