AskWoody PlusOctober 18, 2018 at 1:14 pm in reply to: Here’s how to keep Win10 version 1809 off your machine #225481Hypothesis: Windows 10 Defender is turning off Metering hence Windows 10 Updates are installing. I believe this happened to me while I was trying to prevent KB4023057 and KB4023814. (Windows 10 Home 1709)
I have Windows10FirewallControl so I can block Defender except when I want to update definitions. -

AskWoody PlusOctober 18, 2018 at 1:05 pm in reply to: Once again, KB 4023057 gets pushed out to all Win10 versions — and you don’t want it #225478This did not work on Windows 10 Home 1709. To remove KB4023057 and KB4023814, I had to Settings, Recovery, Reset without re-formatting. It is draconian because I have to re-install non-operating system software. (I saw the reference to KB4023057 / KB4023814 in https://www.askwoody.com/2018/heres-how-to-keep-win10-version-1809-off-your-machine/)

AskWoody PlusFYI
These were my post; now I have a username. I have been reading since Woody’s Watch and the subsequent newsletters until WS’ catastrophe. Also I depend on Susan Bradley’s great Windows patching information.

Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |
