PK, have you updated to 18.0 yet?

That’s interesting because according to the post above from “b”, Susan still has not given the green light on updating to 18.0.

Hi Susan:  Where do you stand on updating to iPadOS 18? Is it time yet?

Thanks, as always, for the valuable info from Woody experts Alex and Cybertooth.

Is there a guide or help file for WuMgr, which I’ve started to use for Windows 11? I find the process hit or miss compared to WuShowHide for Windows 10. In WuMgr, after Search for updates, how does one control which updates to download and which to get rid of?

Also, which boxes or options should be chosen? Is download separate from install?

Here are some of the options: Group updates; Offline mode; Manual download/install; Included superseded; Block access to WU servers; Disable Automatic updates; Download only; Disable Store update; Include drivers.

And most important of all, what’s the difference between Trashcan icon and eye icon?

Interesting topic but of the 5 listed, I found they were all comeons ads for paid versions. Does anyone know of truly free plagiarism checkers?

Quetext used to be free for limited use but no more.

After doing 8/2024 updates, is there any reason to again check IPv6 box in Network properties?

The other two icons in WuMgr (trash can and linis)–what are they used for?

Superb introduction to WuMgr from SB. Wumgr seems to be working out much better for me on Win 11 than WUShowHide, though latter is still fine on Win 10.

One question about WuMgr History: I’ve got many failed updates. How to remove them from the window?

“Does the Windows Update page give you the option to “Resume Updates”? If not, then updates are not paused. I can see the “Pause For One Week”

Steve, this is useful to know, indicating that I was likely not pausing updates, though having an issue with doing them.

I have Windows update. I’ll wait a couple of days and report what Wumgr / Search is showing and also stop using “StopUpdatesNow”.

Then PK and you experts can diagnose.

Thanks, guys.

“for windows 11? Lately, my wushowhide didn’t detect the july updates for the month and today the july updates forced themselves onto my pc without my permission.
Is the WUShowhide expired or not working anymore and is there an easier and efficient program I can use like that one to hide updates I don’t want?”

I had a similar result for 7/2024 Win 11 23H2 using WUShowhide.

Fernlady:
I meant what tools are you using to do Windows updates since your update seemed to go so well, e.g., Wushowhide, WuMgr, Stopupdatesnow, or some combination?

Fernlady: What tool are you now using on Win 11 to hide updates. I ask because for years I’ve been using StopUpdatesNow + WUSHOWHide with great success on Win10 systems.

But today for first time I did Win 11 Pro 23H2 update on new system, using same tools, and had s disaster, getting only

2024-07 Cumulative update Preview for Windows 11 23H2 (KB5040527) despite hiding it; and not getting
2024-07 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 23H2 for x64 (KB5039895)

PK, as usual, this is very useful. Even though I did a Win 11 Pro 23H2 update (with plenty of problems), I really have to go through the steps you just outlined to make sure I can do them all if necessary.
