Sledgehammer - Windows 10 Update Control

That seems like a reasonable explanation. Your notification is a bit more bold than the little update and shutdown options I see. But I haven't been using Defender, so as I think I recall, maybe that task isn't enabled for me? (Using Norton 360, but I may drop it for Defender after this subscription is up.)

 

Looks like the task is always enabled, but will normally abort if "windefend" is not running. Seems that it is not the culprit for you (is the Windows Defender service running?) but may be for me.

 

Yeah, I'm looking at it right now: the submenu for Power has the familiar little orange "badge" (at least for my theme it's orange) on the extra choices that start "Update and". I might have updated with Sledgehammer last week, so it could be residual from that - you know, first step updating before restart, then second step after restart but before opening Windows. So, shear conjecture, but maybe something was still locked for updating until a second reboot. I wonder if Sledgehammer script would or should keep that from showing or working that way. Or else it's really a sneaky update.

Also, I keep Windows Update Blocker (WUB v1.1) on the taskbar and ServiceTray in the notification area, and both show Windows Update service disabled.

 

I din't get any update installed automatically. However, I don't use the lower SKUs anymore, only Enterprise or Education, where policies are not largely ignored.

@Whistler4 sorry i just saw your message. so when i open sledgehammer, i get to the select option 1, 2, 3, etc...and nothing happens.

windows 22h2 22622.436

- Your Windows version.
- What's not working? For example:
- Does the script fail to run or does it give an error message? it runs and then closes after i select the option (1 in my case)
- If you tried 2.73RC1a (the last version compiled into a Windows installer file) does the Windows setup program fail to install? i have but will try again.
- Does the Sledgehammer script run but doesn't do the job of disabling Windows Update? it runs, and force closes after choosing the option.
- Does it disable Windows Update but won't load WuMgr or WUMT or run other script options? unsure

 

What script ... From my signature?
It's change the wu group policy registery key
And it's not good idea to run it with slaghammer Tool
You don't take aspirin & akamol in same time
It's a way to disaster

The registry key you need to delete is
HKLM::soft/Ms/win../windowsupdate

 

Hahaha Dark great Joke

 

Not a joke
Both tools serve same purpose
But work in different way
So you can expect weird results
Work the same way on medicine

Code:

It's safe to take aspirin as a painkiller with paracetamol or codeine.
But do not take aspirin with ibuprofen or naproxen without talking to a doctor. 

 

hmm ok .

 

To re-enable windows update you can execute wub.exe located in the bin folder.

 

thank you!!

 

Btw ...
The esc trick will not work,
In the new w11 terminal

 

i executed that, still no dice. i reckon ima have to do a repair. for some reason the entire windows update infrastructure is absent on my pc , looks like? thank you again! (if you have any idea how to diagnose, im all ears though!) .
