"Enterprise users will be able to defer feature updates for years, electing to receive only security fixes during that time" windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/defer-upgrades-in-windows-10 ...but you cant specifically select which security updates you want or not
I see this as a very good thing when looking at the broad picture. Would this not hinder botnet growth if people are forced to update? Many people do not update their computers or do not understand the importance. Some jobs I have worked, IT guys there didn't know that security patches were important, thought endpoint AV was sufficient...
Most company employees using Enterprise versions are never allowed to apply updates for security reasons, they get installed through IT department. And no doubt they will have access to select what updates are available.
I installed and activated 10240 Enterprise. There is no option to install only specific updates, just defer all or install all. Even with gpedit.msc settings (as posted in tweaks thread) cant be done.
And it doesn't exist for 10 Enterprise. It also does not solve the issue of individual systems not having control of what goes on them.
oh look now you're going crazy because of the f**ked up windows update when i bitched about this months ago nobody seemed to care
How exactly is working WU in Enterprise? I don't see the CP anywhere. Can I let Windows to check & download unattended, but confirm what and when tu update by user?
how does windows update behave when we set our connection as metered? because that's what i did to stop it from updating, because my wifi was really metered and didn't want to waste my precious internet on updates not sure though if it works, gotta check but if it works could we use that to stop windows from updating automatically by making it think that all connections are metered or actually setting all connections as metered without actually disabling the service
Disabling all updates is not a problem, you can do it in many ways. But you can't choose what update to download and install and disable/hide others.
It will check for updates but won't download them on a metered connection. Setting all connections to metered is impossible, AFAIK it works only for WLAN and mobile broadband (WWAN), but not for LAN (ethernet cable).
Nope. Pro and Enterprise don't work the same. Enterprise you can manage updates not Pro. Unless you use Murphy's tweak and disable WU in Pro. As soon as you activate it will download everything but at least you'll have a good idea what you downloaded if it starts acting funky.
Did you actually used Enterprise edition and tested that we can manage updates? I have used it and by default there is no such option. We may manage it by WSUS but not through default UI.
so enterprise windows update is the closest to what we had in w8.1 and even that is technically crap, right? i hope somebody keeps working on this any chance of frankenbuilding a new windows update with files from older builds?
