Windows Update Blocker v1.5

On my LTSB 2016 install I found that /p is a toggle. /e won't enable without it, so to enable, the command is /e /p. If it's ignored when it's not needed for other versions then all the better.

 

Does this work on fall creators? Thanks

 

Why is it better than the Windows Embedded Update Blocker?

 

I know the Windows Update Blocker, but what is the Windows Embedded Update Blocker?

 

Yes.

 

This the Windows own built in or default blocker, there is two built in blockers - one blocks new version, another blocks other updates.

 

Much better is Windows Update MiniTool - https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-update-minitool.64939/

 

WUMT doesn't keep updates turned off which is the point of this thread. If you want to do that use the script in my signature.

 

It works while dealing with the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv register key.
Wub /d set the value of "Start" to 4
Wub /e set the value of "Start" to 2
Wub /d /p set the value of "Start" to 4 and changes the register key permissions : System has only read access, hence Windows Update process is disabled ... until Windows resets the default value and permissions (which seams to be the case after rebooting the system following the February 13, 2018 patch tuesday updates.

 

@rpo explained Windows Update Blocker, now let me explain Painter7's Windows Update Disabler: it doesn't work anymore.

 

AFAIK it works on fall creators.

 

how to disable auto install drivers when first internet connection after refresh installation?thanks.

 

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

may:
administrator rights command line run:
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata" /v "PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

Or:
in this article, with faster access
stopDriverUpdate.bat:
@echo off
rundll32 newdev.dll, DeviceInternetSettingUi
exit

 

Does this work on the new released win10 rs4_1804? Thanks

 

Yes it does. VERY NICE.

 

Correct me if I am wrong but I have to block the service as this forced update will change the partitions on my HDD making my life miserable knowing that I double boot Manjaro linux

Right?

edit//
The freaking update assistant is back despite being disabled in the Task Manager and by means of your blocker.

 

You likely installed one of the march kb patches. Microballs is trying to include the update assistant in each kb since march. Since 1607 going EOL anyway, one shouldn't install any of the march kb.
