    What file is potentially harmful?
    Be more specific.

    If you're referring to wsusscn2.cab, did you actually checked out its digital signatures?
    The one downloaded from luxleech.net, of course.

    This little batch file handles the enabling-starting-stopping-disabling of wuauserv alright. I'm sure it could be better, so I'll call this v 0.0.1 :rolleyes:
    Code:
    @echo off
    cls
    echo Setting Windows Update Service to Manual...
    sc config wuauserv start=demand
    ping 127.0.0.1 -n 4 > nul
    echo Starting Windows Update Service...
    sc start wuauservwumt_x64.exe -update "-onclose sc stop wuauserv" "-onclose sc config wuauserv start=disabled"
    echo Redundant disable...
    sc config wuauserv start=disabled
    sc stop wuauserv

    The wrapper script takes care of that ^
    Along with auto-starting windows update svc.

    Yes, WUMT has no option to achieve this. However if the WU service is not active, WUMT asks if you want to activate it.

    I can't use this tool because I can't enable Windows Update. I always get an error that I don't have a permission. This is happens to my laptop and PC.

    I don't understand why but in 1703 I've the bat that I need to run in order to star Windows Update service and WUMT for search updates and when I run that bat and WUMT appears, WU starts searching updates too!

    Why?

    Thanks

    I did a short video tutorial covering the basics. Not sure I covered what you needed but search for Windows Update MiniTool MajorGeeks video and you can find it.

    Can this tool overcome or fix the problems that begin with Microsoft's decision to block updates starting April 11, 2017 (announced January 2016) for Windows 7 and 8.1 with Intel Core 7th generation processors (Kaby Lake) and AMD Ryzen (Bristol Ridge) and also with some others?

    Is possible to contact the creator and ask if something can be done in the monthly updates to unblock this command, until End of Support (Windows 7: January 14, 2020) (Windows 8.1: January 10, 2023) ?

    Thanks

    The tool uses the same engine as WU, it's not a separate checker/downloader

    i doubt there would be any workaround for this
