@DavidXanatos I am using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8.6 I have the file ListViewExtended.cs in the Project If I ignore the errors then the design view loads and I can then build, once I have the build, the errors stop. so only on initial load of the project source gives errors, once built the errors stop 0.6b source and prior loaded without error only on v0.7 did I see the errors on initial load of the project. As I say once errors ignored and Project built there is no issue. I had updated my VS between v0.6b and v0.7 so more likely an MS bug...anyway lets get back to the Project.. we have patch Tuesday coming up so a good chance to test. I will be testing out on: x86 --- Win7Pro Win10Pro-1709 Win10Pro-1803 x64 --- Win7Ult Win8.1Pro Win10Pro-1709 Win10Pro-1803

about the history list it lists whatever is there, idk. why you windows has so many entries there. I also have these Japanese updates, they seam to be preinstalled with windows 10. about the error when uninstalling: there seam to be a bug in the uninstall routine will fix that .... ... fix uploaded.
Hello, I am just trying to be helpful, I noticed your screenshot / picture with a lot of MS Store downloads, I had similar occurance and could not figure out why because I do not use the Store. When I upgraded from 1709 to 1803, Microsoft turned the Store Settings to automatically update apps. Try going into the Store Settings and check if you are set to automatic. I did not know about this setting from the normal "Settings" app that I keep on Taskbar. Some people do not use MS apps from store. Hope this may be helpful.
Had "Update apps automatically" off, the other two were on but didn't make any difference after disabling them
Guys on an Off topic subject: what do your think about the state of privacy tools for windows? Is, what is out there, satisfying, or is there room for an advanced open source privacy tool? In my eyes all the tools which are out there are so so and often don't cover all the angles. But on the other hand there are so many its easy to miss a good one or two. So whats your assessment should I write a tool to keep windows from talking to M$ to much.
Sure - jump in! But, like you, I don't know if the field is too crowded, whether there's already a "perfect" tool out there, or if it's worth your time. I've used O&O Shutup 10 since Win 10 was introduced. It's got lots of on/off settings related to privacy that have been color coded green, yellow & red for whether they're recommended to turn off or not. Many Windows updates turn back on various telemetry aspects that are shown when you rerun Shutup 10. But in my opinion, Shutup 10 has become too complicated in its options (trying to cover all the bases as Windows feature updates have added things), and the nuts & bolts of what it does isn't documented, so it's not easy to reverse its effects if the program's reset doesn't work right. Also, I found over time that I was missing out on some Windows features that I did like, such as the different Spotlight lock screens that MS rotates, because I was just accepting Shutup 10's recommended settings. If you do this, I think it will require a lot of documentation for the user of what you're turning off and where to go (registry, Windows Settings app, etc.) to manually tweak or roll back. I think maybe the hardest part of this topic is the spectrum of what the individual user wants in features balanced with the amount of privacy willing to give up. It might make advice for which Windows updates to install and which to block a piece of cake. (Don't forget about WuMgr )
Disadvantage of OOSU10 - Commercial Freeware but not OSS (cannot be verified). I would like to see a similar tool, that can run in background and continually enforce the chosen options. Once they change, revert them and log (including the offender). But, as @Whistler4 already pointed out, please don't put too much on your schedule. We've seen in the past how it ends if developers do that.
@DavidXanatos What do I think of that...you have been reading my mind again. I have a bunch of stuff I was starting to convert over to a c# from a bunch of batch scripts, vb scripts and PowerShell I use for tweaking systems. So I would be interested in your approach to this, however I wouldn't want to detract you from your good work on this Tool
@DavidXanatos At present I would not upload the works to github That does not mean I am not willing to share... I do give choices throughout each step and explain before hand. I give the option to have GpEdit in Home Editions for setting some policies. I have some stuff on the data logging Spoiler: Here is a list of what I have ############################################################################ # # # THIS SECTION GIVES THE CHOICE TO RUN THE REMOVER # # FIX SOME WINDOWS ERRORS, RUN SOME TOOLS, RESET SERVICE DEFAULTS # # BACKUP/RESTORE TASKBAR TOOLBAR, PINNED ITEMS AND JUMP LISTS # # OR JUST JUMP OFF # # # ############################################################################ MAIN MENU What do you want to run?: ======================== 1) (R)emover 2) (F)ix Windows Errors 3) (T)ools 4) (S)ervices Defaults 5) (B)ackup Restore 6) (M)eltdown Spectre + µCode Update 7) (E)nable GpEdit Windows Home Z) EXIT ###################################################### # # # This Section Allows Removal Of Windows Stuff # # And Coin Hive Mining Prevention # # # ###################################################### MULTI REMOVER MENU What do you want to run?: ======================== 1) Error Report Logs 2) Registry Keys 3) Data Logging Telemetry 4) OneDrive 5) KB Updates 6) Hosts File 7) AppxPackages (not win7) 8) Firewall 9) Additions 10) SMB 11) HP Conexant Keystroke Logger 12) Coin Hive Mining 13) Xbox Removal 14) Silverlight Y) ALL of the above X) Return to Main Menu Z) EXIT and run away very scared...aah!...aah! ############################################################################ # # # THIS SECTION GIVES THE CHOICE TO RUN MULTI REGKEY FIXES # # # ############################################################################ MULTI REG KEY MENU What do you want to run?: ======================== 1) AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener - Telemetry Data Sender 2) SQMClient - (SQM) Software Quality Metrics Client-to-Service Protocol 3) Desktop To This PC - Desktop folder to "This PC" 4) Documents To This PC - Documents folder to "This PC" 5) Downloads To This PC - Downloads folder to "This PC" 6) Music To This PC - Music folder to "This PC" 7) Pictures To This PC - Pictures folder to "This PC" 8) Videos To This PC - Videos folder to "This PC" 9) 3D Objects To This PC - 3D Objects to "This PC" 10) CAB Files - .cab file Asscoiation and Compressed Folder 11) Zip file association - .zip file Association 12) (CDM) Content Delivery Manager - Disable (CDM) Content Delivery Manager (SIA) Silent Installed Apps (SIA) Silent Installed Apps 13) OneDrive - Remove OneDrive from the Explorer Side Panel 14) Windows Explorer View - Setup Windows Explorer View 15) Policies - Set the Group Policies for: CEIP SQM Client Data Collection Error Reporting Delivery Optimization Y) ALL of the above X) Return to Remover Menu Z) EXIT and crawl away ...little Worm!

Congratulations and thanks David for WuMgr (Update Manager for Windows) 0.7a, I love this soft. I've a suggestion: Like the last Windows Update MiniTool release, could you add CTRL F for find in WuMgr? Thanks yet mate and have a good day!
