yes obviously. also run gpupdate /force but no luck. it works fro you? your folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" is empty or not?
It's likely a different setting for automatic drivers. I remember seeing something about it in the tweaks thread.
yep. the setting to disable drivers download is this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching] "SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000003 but it seems not working...
It's not working because you use incorrect settings. Here are the correct settings: Code: 0 = "No, let me choose what to do - Never install driver software from Windows Update" 1 = "Yes, do this automatically (recommended)" 2 = "No, let me choose what to do - Install driver software from Windows Update if it is not found on my computer."
WTF is going on. Why is there no more option to "Choose your Windows Update setting"? Will they be adding this to the final Windows 10 release?
Seems that's the strategy for Windows as a Service now and won't change. Different rules for Home, Pro and Ent.
WTF does that mean? I mean Windows 10 update is freaking ridiculously stupid. I would like to know what I'm updating or how large the updates going to be before I hit the OK button. I don't want to be stuck with a gigabyte of updates when I'm about to turn off my computer and leave my house or go to sleep. If they are going to force updates. Do that to Windows Defender because that totally need its own separate update.
They shipped first updates containing security fixes side by side with feature updates, pushed as Securty Updates via WU . The last upgraded the buildlabex string from 16387 (afaik) to 16390.
@murphy78, could you make updated script which also disables driver searching using this registry tweak? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching] "SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000
I havent used this script, only configured WU through GPEDIT to notify if updates available. Funny though, today I checked available updates and only the security update was available. No GPU driver (Nvidia) or sound card (Creative SB Z) updates, these no longer appear.
thanks for it...i've read the value 3 somewhere in this forum...i'll try and see what happens! Update: modified the value to 0 and it seems to works...no drives updates. thanks!
Yes it is. Murphy78 should integrate this tweak with his script so we just have to run one script after a clean OS install to disable automatic updates check and downloading of drivers permanently.
why isn't this working for me? cmd says its disabled, would you like to reenable but yet windows update forced that security roll up on it like 2-3 times . applied the script, rebooted btw.
It does not stop updates from working if you check for them. Once you check for updates, you're locked into the process.
You guys are welcome to mod the script. I just felt that enough people were requesting this auto update thing that it was worth putting in the time to make. I could imagine someone modding this and putting like 5-10 different options. Knock yourselves out.
