    Has M$ not already carried this out, out of the box, many look to fix it and are not worried about a 15 minute install.

    Could not a Hotfix Repository be developed with a 3rd party software solution to download and update, under user control and time frame, like what has been carried out here with previous windows versions?

    You do not enter into M$'s equation as we all live in California and have unlimited bandwidth and resources, we do not care if you require to turn your PC off quickly or when you want to restart it as we have full control of your lifestyle. This is a decision made for you, for your own good, as you are not intelligent enough to know what is good for you or make decisions on your own, :roflmao:, I only joke and intend no disrepect as you make a very valid point, you should be able to download them elsewhere and install them where bandwidth is a problem, not anymore.

    Regards

    What a life saver! After updating to Windows 10 Home, I found my old laptop TW3M very slow and noticed further updates being installed hours later.
    Its going to hog my download capped and slow bandwidth and I need to control updates and only allow when I am not using the laptop and can sacrifice my download cap!

    This actually needs to be stickied as more people are going to need something like this!
    Thanks murphy78 much appreciated!:clap:

    So can some of you confirm it works on Home Edition ? I see it was asked but never confirmed. Or is the auto update to hard coded into W10 Home ?

    It should work fine on home. I tried it in a vm, but I don't think it's any different on normal machine.

    Is anyone else getting a dodgy download file "AutoUpdateWin10v3.zip__15022_i1688720322_il1846593.exe" 1.2mb?

    all mirrors say from "please-road48.info" --- ??? :eek:

    what web browser are you using & where are you downloading it from? try another site (the file is not that big - it's really 1.15kb)

    it'll be nice if this topic is made a sticky

    I am using Firefox.. 40.0.1 with noscript enabled... when clicking on the link from Nucleus (with noscript blocking all)... i was prompted to download a weird 900kb exe with same name.. not 1kb zip.. when allowing the page via noscript.. it downloads the zip, never seen this before where blocking javascript results in a suspicious trojan download. Regarding mir.cr/0NBNQQE3 - i am prompted to save an exe from "please-road56.info" and recently "stop-road1.info".. whois shows these were only registered few days ago from Panama... does anyone know whats happening? dns injection? trojan? virus? Could there be a trojan on the server (mirrorcreator.com)?

    i have tested this on a few computers and getting same results. really want to figure this out..

    When I try to download I also get an .exe file even from the link provided by Nucleus #136 Anyone know why it downloads the wrong file?

    I created .cmd file from the text in murphy78 #1 and it works, but I would like to know why the wrong file is downloaded from the links.
