• Did your Win10 update blocking experiment work?

    Win10 Auto Update configure didnt workMine didn’t. I had Automatic Update set to Disabled, but got the new cumulative update installed anyway. Winver reports 10586.218.

    I think I know the problem. I opened Windows Update before running wushowhide (and I clicked “Check for updates” Oops). That’s an important detail I need to emphasize in the instructions – people need to run wushowhide before they check for updates. Else, they’ll get the update. It’s like the Heisenberg certainty principal – if you know it’s in the Windows Update settings app’s list, you’re already too late.

    In retrospect, that should’ve been obvious. But for me it wasn’t.
