    Windows 10 14393.351
    Recently I have noticed that when I set Automatic Updates to Notification Mode or Disabled within a few minutes it reverts back to Automatically. Something is automatically deleting the registry entries made by WUMT.

    EDIT: The only way to have the registry entries not be automatically deleted is to have the group policy enabled.

    I did find a slightly better solution. Dummy service to ensure no automatic or background updates will start.
    Much more elegant solution. Which is even hidden from services.msc

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BITS]
    "DisplayName"="Background Intelligent Transfer Service"
    "Start"=dword:00000001
    "ImagePath"=""
    "ErrorControl"=dword:00000000
    "Type"=dword:00000001

    BITS is used to download the updates metadata for WU database, then WU engine process them
    it can't function without it

    PortUp works because it gets the metadata from wsusscn2.cab

    What happened to this tool? It searched fast but today, it searched new updates for about 40 minutes. I have Windows 10, 1511 and the latest version of Windows Update MiniTool.

    The problem is withing WU engine itself, similar to the famous long scan issue in Windows 7
    it seems the issue now affects all Windows OSs starting Vista, except Windows 10 version 1607

    You don't need to download the express *.cab or *.Psf files, they are big sized and appropiate for WU only
    get the .cab file that don't have the word express

    as foe .exe files, they also not usable outside WU itself

    Hope this will help with delayed updates from a clean install.

    It uses the same engine as WU, so the delay will still happen

    what's your OS?
