w11 has been a dream in every way. im just searching for the best way to select/install updates, and only install the ones I want. sledgehammer was perfect for w10, something similar would be great.. thank yall so much! tr
Disable WU via group policy Use wumt to Install only select updates Wumt thread https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-update-minitool.64939/
what select updates? seriously now. the monthly LCU update has all the s**t bundled together, you cannot pick and choose in 10 and 11 anything of significance.
MS killed WMIC in a few dev builds, but quickly brought it back as even some of their scripts use it, it seems. Thus, Sledgehammer (latest version 2.73a) still works fine, I'm using it.
I appreciate the info! I just tried running it (replaced it with the powershell variant as suggested), and nothing happened. When the screen comes up "choose an option Q-5" , no matter which option i choose, it just closes. any ideas on how to troubleshoot /log what happened?
if you still having problems copy / paste those lines into Console [Administrator] it work in home edition too, check it today on windows 11 home. this will make sure WU will be manual only, user selected times. and it will hide nagging messages too Code: set WA="HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" set AU="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" >nul 2>&1 reg delete %WA% /f >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetRestartWarningSchd /t REG_DWORD /d 0 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetActiveHours /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v ActiveHoursStart /t REG_DWORD /d 5 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v ActiveHoursEnd /t REG_DWORD /d 23 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetAutoRestartNotificationConfig /t REG_DWORD /d 0 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetAutoRestartNotificationDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetAutoRestartRequiredNotificationDismissal /t REG_DWORD /d 0 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetUpdateNotificationLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v UpdateNotificationLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v NoAutoUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 1 || '0' to Allow Notification - '1' to no Check at all >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v AUOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 2 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v NoAUShutdownOption /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption /t REG_DWORD /d 1 >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime /t REG_DWORD /d 0
