How to fix Windows Update in Windows 10 so that it behaves exactly like old WU?

You must wait for final version of win 10.

 

Once you block an update in the old menu, it's no longer offered in the modern UI

 

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000001
"CachedAUOptions"=dword:00000001
"ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000001
"ForcedReboot"=dword:00000002
"IncludeRecommendedUpdates"=dword:00000001

 

they are dumbing this os down so much
i think i'd rather have android on my pc
new windows update is a pos

 

Android? So your PC is tablet actually? Or cell phone?

 

There is Android Linux and he can possibly make use of that - if he is not satisfied with what Microsoft is doing with Windows 10.

 

This is beta software. Disabling autoupdate has been disabled for the beta. It's part of the terms you agreed to when you downloaded the TP. It will return when the software is final. If you don't like it don't use beta software.

 

So, I just signed up to reply to this post because i need help. I didnt know that was possible and I couldnt find this guide anywhere else on the web. I dont have them in the said directory so i assume i should create them? And I would like to know what each value does? and does it work for the latest windows version?

 

Do you really have Windows 1507 or 15011 running to this country? If not, go to Settings and you will find what you need.
But of course you can do these registry keys, but there is no need to do them, and I would not personally recommend them.
My suggestion would be for you to do something only then, if you have understand, what you are doing and why you are doing it.

 

My Windows Home version is 1809. And actually I cant find any option to be able to manually choose which updates to download and install. Maybe you can enlighten me.

 

You do realize that you necro'd a nearly 4 year old thread right? The information provided in it almost certainly is no longer accurate. If you want to control what updates are installed, I suggest you look into one of the MDL developed solutions for controlling updates. Sledgehammer for example. I don't disable updates but if you really want to go down this route, you can disable WU and manually apply update files downloaded from the catalog or UUP dump.

 

ok this is very helpful , thanks , bye.

 

you can try disabling windows updates service but like a plague, the waasmedic service will eventually enable it whether you like it or not!!

 

Thank u .. I did not know that.

 

That's what Sledgehammer is for - it keeps the update hijackers at bay.
