Hello @mandy30,

I hope this helps.

No. If you read the Tutorials it will tell you what the different options perform, and then you can use the one that best fits your requirements.

I hope this helps.

Mandy,

1 Do note that the Tutorial Option 7 you were given a link to is not the same tool as the WUMgr you seem to be asking about. You did mean "WUMgr" didn't you?

2 These reviews indicate that all you need to do is adjust some settings in WUMgr itself and do not need to do any Registry editing of your own.

While reading these reviews, do check that the illustrations match what you are asking about. If they don't then post a screenshot of the tool you are using so it can be positively identified.

Mandy,

Welcome to TenForums.
It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month so I can benefit from Excel's filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- Tutorials are also listed by category at www.tenforums.com/tutorials

You have not completed your system specs. www.tenforums.com/profile.php?do=extra This can be very useful for respondents [depending on what problems you re investigating].

Some guides to WUmgr - found using Google:

WuMgr is a free open-source Update Manager for Windows 10

WuMgr also lets you control Auto Update settings on your computer. You can completely block access to Windows Update servers or disable Automatic Updates. Moreover, you can also hide the Windows Update page from the settings app. It makes it almost impossible to check updates status and download them. Moreover, you can also disable automatic Windows Store updates so that the applications are not updated automatically in the background.

- although it doesn't exactly say how.
