No need WSUS works along with delay

I agree, keeping it simple is the best approach. I was just about to change the durations myself same keys you posted. I have a slightly different set of reg keys as well which include:
...

I don't use store so i'm looking to keep update from running period until i want to manually patch.

I just confirmed the WSUS reg edit provided above seems to do the trick by tricking windows...

The tool is making the changes you can manuallly make at the registry level. How does it keep and enforce the services stay disabled after reboot? I've also questioned if Windows Installer is needed...

If this works this is the most clever way to achieve this objective.

I'll give it a try and report back thanks for such a simple and obvious solution.

Another option is virtual NIC but all this nonsense to stop MS from updating is just damn annoying.

Is there a way to permenantly disable windows updates for clients not connected to WSUS?

My understanding is unless you have Win 10 Ent connected to WSUS no matter what you disable in Windows...

Did you read what I stated?

That is where I went first, I'm pretty sure I made that clear in my first post too. None of the services are the smoking gun.

The powershell script made no...

Has nothing to do with services that's where I went first

URI crashes as well.

The powershell script is reminiscent of scan/sfc with no guarantee it will fix the problem but to only reset a bunch of tweaks which has nothing to do with the issue.

I...

I don't believe it matters but 22H2 B-19045

Using a tool i narrowed it down to this location every time any of the 5 methods trigger the crash which is "Windows Connected devices"...

When you try to open "About your PC" a.k.a "System Properties" window, what is happening under the hood. For me it crashes. I suspected it might have been some of the services i disabled but no, it...

Posting this in General forum. I don't think this is possible but i'll ask anyway

I have a NAS where I can create a desktop shortcut \\Nas, problem is it defaults to a My Computer icon when i pin...

There is some common usage of the term for two different features really.

It has to do with preview window and the other is just showing the entire desktop. When they got merged I don't know. Look...

Got it thanks, I'm a little bit surprised like in the past from what i recall the Aero peek was always tied to the taskbar thumbnail preview and now with windows 10 they got away from that. You can...

When you state it works in that build you mean the current build I'm on or the Preview you linked?

I see what you are saying. I think we are talking about two different things. i don't care about...

Is that the version you are on yourself and is it working? Curious if anyone else is on the same release version I'm on which is not a preview build and it behaves the same.

absolutely, made no difference

What blows me away not even the hover time reg mod works. It is like MS is forcing this feature if you like it or not.

Change Taskbar...

I'm hoping someone smarter than us has figured out a way around this. I'm sure there is some tweak out there I'm missing. There is a tweak to change the quick access icon itself but not the pinned...

That's bc you are creating a shortcut to a folder on a share. Thats not what I'm doing, I'm linking the root of a share which has multiple folders and the default quick access icon turns into a...

That's not how it works for network share like I mentioned above. Read what I stated again

What the heck is going on, can't be turned off no matter what option registry, system properties, taskbar settings.

Is MS forcing this crap on us now?

I don't want to set a ridiculous hover...

I don't think this is possible but i'll ask anyway.

Hi, i'm aware of that, what I'm trying to tell you is that in Win 10 if you disable the DNS service, it no longer preserves the static DNS address you set. You can test it yourself, i don't know why...

Hi, was hoping to get some info if this is now the new behavior.

I've highly optimized a laptop, minimal services. No DHCP or DNS similar to Win 7 laptop. In Win7 I can set the static IP and set...
