Sledgehammer - Windows 10 Update Control

Cmon now lol, I didnt know that you could download defender updates without wu service. So the script works great.

 

What about the BITS service? On 7 it is needed for windows update to return anything. It is present on 10 too.

The script just keeps re-calling itself on 10 and popping up windows.

 

@pf100 Hi dude, thanks a lot for the update as ever your contribution here is very apreciated

 

Same script works on windows 7. I literally copy and pasted the folder. Something goes wrong after it elevates on my 10 system.


Heh, as to BiTS good to see pretty much nothing uses it but 2 games and some remote management apps. I can just add the extra lines. I don't leave anything that can download files in the background running except for eset. Completely removed defender already.


edit: Its the net command that kicks off the loop. If I comment it out and run as admin the script works.

 

^^If the net command for the self elevation fails it's either the AV blocking access (JBenal reported it for Commodo Antivirus) or borked system files .

 

I tried "net session". It is dependent on the server service which I turned off since I don't share/serve anything.

 

Înstead of "net.exe session" try "fltmc".

 

that gives access is denied error.

Hi,

Since the last CU, when I try to run the file, it runs CMD and enters in a loop of open CMD, close CMD, open CMD, close CMD. And I need to press Alt+F4 for close it.

Is there any fix?

Thanks

 

Try to run as admin.

 

Delete or REM:

Code:

    >nul 2>&1 (net.exe session || (cmd /u /c echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) : UAC.ShellExecute "%~0", "", "", "runas", 1 > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" & cscript //nologo "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" & del /f /q "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" & exit))

Then run via right-click as admin.

 

I run the script after CU on 32 and 64 bits OS without any issue.

 

Or replace with :

Code:

set "params=Problem_with_elevating_UAC_for_Administrator_Privileges"&if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
fsutil dirty query %systemdrive%  >nul 2>&1 || (
rem    The following test is to avoid infinite looping if elevating UAC for Administrator Privileges failed
If "%1"=="%params%" (echo Elevating UAC for Administrator Privileges failed...&echo Right click on the script and select 'Run as administrator'&echo Press any key for exiting&pause>nul 2>&1&exit)
cmd /u /c echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) : UAC.ShellExecute "%~0", "%params%", "", "runas", 1 > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"&cscript //nologo "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"&exit)

If there is a problem when trying to elevate UCA, these instructions prevent an infinite loop. However the best solution is to start the script by "Run as Administrator", or if a shortcut is created, change the properties of the shortcut to start the script as admin.

Assuming the script is run as administrator, it may been shortened this way :

Code:

sc config wuauserv start= auto & sc start wuauserv
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic cpu get AddressWidth /value') do (set arch=%%a)
IF %arch% == 32 (set "wumt=%~dp0wumt_x86.exe") else (set "wumt=%~dp0wumt_x64.exe")
Start "" /max "%wumt%" -update "-onclose sc stop wuauserv" "-onclose sc config wuauserv start= disabled"

That's all folks.
