16299.334 was kind of strangely metered out. I got it automatically on one system but had to do a manual install on 2 others, WU was not seeing it.
Can someone tell me why Windows update on RS1 download on my pc the RS3 version? I have block on the windows update settings the upgrade feature and still download the RS3 (1709).
Due to EOL in april MS is forcing the Upgrade via tasks (see task scheduler Library\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator and rempl).
Either deactivate all tasks under UpdateOrchestrator and rempl in Task scheduler manually or use https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/wumt-wrapper-script-controls-windows-update-service.72203/. @pf100 took care to handle the new mess.
I've got a technical question for some of the more technical users here who may have experience with editing the XAML of the Start Menu. The underlying situation is that I've never been able to get the Start menu icon/tile background colour for Microsoft Edge to change according to the colour chosen from the Colours section of Personalization in the Settings app. Edge seems to be the only app icon which does not change according to this. For some apps, I have been able to use the tile changer program "Windows Tile Color Changer" to change the background of the icon/tile. However, since Edge does not seem to have an underlying linked shortcut (in the Start menu, anyway) this program does not recognize it. So my assumption is that Microsoft Edge icon/tile (and background colour) must be hardcoded into the XAML of the Start Menu. Does anyone know of a method to change the background colour for the Microsoft Edge icon/tile in the Start Menu? If that includes manually editing the XAML to achieve, please let me know as well. Thank you for your time.
hi using the link from the above post , i have downloaded WUMTWrapperScript from geeks site , I uninstalled the D*S tool that i was using before , also removed all the HOSTS file entries that this tool put in to disable windows updates and then ran WUMTWrapperScript . It searched for window updates successfully without any error but didnt find any updates as i am on windows redstone 4 rtm ( latest i guess ). my question is am i good now ? i closed the WUMTWrapperScript will windows update also stop as soon as i close this script GUI ? btw after closing tool i checked via services.msc it says windows update service is disbaled ! is it fine ? thanks to @s1ave77
hi i need to know one thing , i have controlled updates using WUMTWrapperScript , that @s1ave77 suggested in above post.. but what about windows 10 telemetry ? how do I stop it , do i need to have a separate tool/script for it ? kindly suggest any good tool or script for stopping the telemetry and it should not interfere with WUMTWrapperScript. thanks in advance.
(in rs3) there is a dedicated section for privacy in settings.and it is very good. i did a test in which i blocked the updates and defender and set everything to minimal in privacy, and monitored the data usage with netlimiter. i did simple browsing and nothing else. and in two days there was only around 3 MB of usage other than chrome. the point is, for normal users telemetry is not a problem (why is it for you?), and if Microsoft want something, they will get it anyway, and 3rd party tool cant help you. but enterprise edition have a toggle in gpedit in which you can opt out all the telemetry.
