Add Windows Update back to Control Panel in Windows 10

Hii guys


I'm new here and I found this thread with google.
The reason why I am here, is as follows:


I create a new applet for the Control Panel to get the old Windows Update back - as good as possible. Now I am searching for people, who can give me more tips to get more settings or what so ever.


For more informations and / or to get the new old Windows Update for Control Panel, please look here in the official Microsoft forums:

I figured out how to put Windows update in control panel without any secondary software. I used Brink's Add Group Policy to Control panel registry hack in the sevenforums.com as a template.

I modified to look like this.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}]
@="Windows Update"
"InfoTip"="Starts Windows Update (With Shortcut Key)"
"System.ControlPanel.Category"="5"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\imageres.dll, 74"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\Shell\Open\Command]
@="control /name microsoft.WindowsUpdate"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}]
@="Add Windows Update to Control Panel"

The only thing I can't figure out is where the default Windows update icon is. I created one for my system but.. I don't know who would like it. Just change imageres.dll to your icon file with the number or just change the ",74" to another icon in imageres.dll

Code:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\imageres.dll, 74"
