Update a Scheduled Task Action Argument using Powershell 4.0

Does anyone know how to update the Arguments of a Scheduled Task Action using PowerShell?

Here is how I have been told to update the Action, thanks to @Richard 's answer in another question.

$Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "PowerShell.exe"
Set-ScheduledTask -TaskName "YourTaskName" -Action $Action

What do I need to add to this so I can also change the Argument and I suppose whilst we are here, the Start In option as well?

Use the -Argument parameters to add an argument string to an action. And use the -WorkingDirectory parameter to add a Start In option. 

$Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "PowerShell.exe" -Argument 'Arg1 Arg2' -WorkingDirectory "C:\StartInThisFolder\"
