Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10  

You miss the point. In this thread we discuss how to prevent updates, not how to schedule them. I have not used many utilities, so I do not trust these. If you want control over which updates are blocked, you can use the Show/Hide tool to hide (block) selected updates. I would usually block driver updates that could give a BSOD, but I noticed that v2004 or higher has moved driver updates to "Optional Updates" section. In that case you should be worry-free that they will never get installed, unless you install them manually from the "Optional Updates". However, I would keep the Show/Hide tool handy, just in case.

The "Optional updates" section in my version 20H2 does not include driver updates, which are included in Windows Update MiniTool. See: How I stop this driver from downloading

AUOptions=2 is part of this tutorial so it's entirely appropriate to address its side-effects. I tried hiding the current defender update, it's not clear if it'll hold, even though the KB remains the same, the contents are obviously changing all the time.

Hiding a defender update did not work, WU eventually detected and notified a newer one.

Hi,

Does option three with windows registry still work with Windows 10 Home 20H2?

Thank you

Hello Spokit, and welcome to Ten Forums.

I'm afraid not for the Home edition. It will only work for the Pro and Enterprise editions.

If you like, option 7 is great to use for the Home edition.

Hello Brink,

Thank you very much for very quick response

Hello @Spokit,




NOT with Home.

Option 7 is very popular => To Enable or Disable Automatic Updates using WAU Manager

I hope this helps.
