InControl control Feature (upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11…) updates.
What is meant by that sentence, @Alex5723 ??
Do you mean to say that InControl only blocks or controls Feature updates and upgrades from one version of Windows to another one?

…How would the same thing be done by someone who had just had their new PC delivered to their front step?
My name’s not Susan, but I believe I have an answer for you.
In RG’s first post, he wrote
You could just type those two commands into the Command Window yourself.
So, once one gets to the point in the OOBE where they’d normally invoke the (possibly soon to be non-existent) script, they’d summon the command line by using the correct key sequence and enter the commands themselves, one at a time, hitting [Enter] after each one. The first command would add the registry key and the second one would then reboot the machine immediately upon hitting the [Enter] key. Once the machine reboots,
Installation will continue as expected with the “I don’t have Internet” prompt.

@Tex265 –
Take ALL of the folders and files at the location mentioned above by @EyesOnWindows and copy them to a flash drive/USB thumb drive so that you can put them in the very same place on your new machine AFTER you’ve completed the initial setup of Windows on the new machine.
When you do that, Windows will probably ask you if you’re sure you want to overwrite the existing files, and you want to answer with “Yes”. SO, before actually doing it, take a slow crawl though both directories (the one you put on the thumb drive and the one on the new computer) to make sure that what is going to be replaced matches what is replacing it in terms of file name and approximate size.
That folder on the machine I’m currently using shows up as 196 megs in size, so finding a thumb drive with enough space shouldn’t be a problem.
P.S. Best way to get them all over to the thumb drive and from the thumb drive to the new computer is to just copy the folder labeled “Default”.

Woody had a real knack of taking what could be a sleep-inducing topic describing how to do some of the more geeky things within Windows and put it in a very folksy, everyday, manner, just as if he were on the front porch with you having an ordinary everyday friendly chat with a very well liked neighbor or two.
Because of that gift, he’ll be very sorely missed both far and wide by many!
R.I.P. Woody! 😢

Microfix wrote: proprietary OS WU ? Explain…
By proprietary OS WU, I’m pretty sure @Microfix means plain old Windows Update itself without any other program’s help.
In other words, I’m pretty sure that @Microfix used Windows’ own, built-in, Windows Update to finish the job of installing this month’s update from Microsoft, without accessing Windows Update from within another program’s interface such as WUMgr’s.
I hope this helps clarify things a bit for you. 🙂

@Microfix has created a sticky post that describes just how to manually update Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) on Windows 7 these days with updates that are directly from Microsoft. Here’s the link to his post (it will open in a new tab):
