[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Final Build 19041>>>19045 (PC) [20H1>>>22H2 vb_release]

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

I'm running a clean install of 19041.423. This is what I get for Winver and About respectively:




It's just a Version and 2004. I suspect it's not 2009 for 19042. It's probably 20H2.

So why is this an issue for running Windows 10? I would think that there are a lot of other things to be more concerned about like the defrag bug or storage spaces or connectivity.

 

I read that, and I'm aware of the reg changes not being mentioned, which is misleading. That's an issue. But I don't see how the way that version info is displayed, as a large issue, especially if it doesn't affect the functionality of Windows 10.

 

And the Windows Experience Feature Pack? Until now it never was updated it seems

 

If we have Build 19042.388, is that the latest update?

 

19041.423 and 19042.423 are the latest builds.

19042.423 could be final on 20H2 doesn't matter if you install it you'll get updates and won't expire

 

I'm trying to disable automatic driver updates.
I've tried the Group Policy and other registry settings found here and they didn't work.

Does anyone have a solution that is proven to work with 20H1?

This tool has an option to disable driver updates and last time I checked, it worked very fine, (no forced graphics driver updates even though the resolution was incorrect and no driver was installed).

 

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Update]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Update]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Update\ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate]
"value"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

 

This doesn't work completely, windows treat normal driver updates and critical driver updates differently, e.g. when windows find that the graphic driver is not installed and display resolution is not correct, it will bypass these registry changes.

The following are the excerpts from this tool https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/stopwinupdates.77026/ which disable driver updates completely.

Disable driver updates:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Update]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata]
"PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching]
"SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

Enable driver updates:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Update]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata]
"PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching]
"SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000000

 

@steven4554 and @Windows_Addict,

Thanks to you both.
Those were the registry changes that I've already applied and didn't work.

Worked fine on 1909, though.
This really piss me off.

Will try StopWinUpdates to see if it works.

I have created shortcut to the old CP, it is simpler than "going around". I hope that MS will add the ability to customize the picture in the new CP, I like the old one more.

Code:

%windir%\system32\control.exe
