    It works even better than before :D Thank you!

    Just one little thing my friend. WUMT now starts full screen. Any way to change this? 3440x1440 is a bit large for my eyes, lol :p

    The last statement of the script is :
    Start "" /max "%wumt%" -update "-onclose %~dp0wub.exe /D /P"
    Replace by :
    Start "" /min "%wumt%" -update "-onclose %~dp0wub.exe /D /P"
    or :
    Start "" "%wumt%" -update "-onclose %~dp0wub.exe /D /P"
    at your convenience.

    Remark : the /min parameter means minimize to taskbar. IMHO this is not suitable. I suggest using :
    Start "" "%wumt%" -update "-onclose %~dp0wub.exe /D /P"

    Thanks. Mark this thread solved. And rpo covered the maximized WUMT window solution.

    Originally it didn't maximize WUMT, that's something I changed not long ago. But yeah, I could change it back next version.

    A quick rewrite will save lots of posts asking/moaning about maximise :)

    I'll just copy/paste the fix into my 215 :)

    When using the Windows Update Blocker, these are the needed statements :

    Code:
    cls
    "%~dp0wub.exe" /p /e
    echo ***********************************************
    echo Welcome to manual updates! You are about to run
    echo the Windows Update MiniTool (WUMT).
    echo ***********************************************
    echo. & echo Press any key to continue... & pause > nul
    :: Check OS and run correct version of WUMT
    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 "" "%wumt%" -update "-onclose %~dp0wub.exe /D /P"
    Invoking UAC for Privilege Escalation in the script is no longer needed.
    "%~dp0wub.exe" : add quotes (if directory contains spaces,...)
