    Is there command which displays available updates, but let me choose which to download and install, like one of the update options in Windows 8.1?
    Please see KB 3073930

    This will work in Windows 10 Home.

    The group policy options below will not work in Windows 10 Home, and are noted as such in the tutorial to help. The other options below will work in Windows 10 Home though.

    Basically, unless there's a note in the tutorial saying that an option will not work in Windows 10 Home, it's safe to assume that it will work. :)

    thanks, that's what worried me as it just said windows 10......

    wonder if if would be better to just have a bracket after the heading saying ( Not Home ) or ( all versions) save any possible misunderstandings.

    thanks

    That would add to much if I did that to all tutorials. I usually only note if it doesn't work or is included instead.

    I think maybe a symbol or something with a key......but maybe I am the only one with the problem LOL.....I think the contribution /support you and the others give to the various flavours of Windows is amazing........
    thanks

    Well for most users, it is best to set it to Notify, so Windows will check for updates, but not download.

    reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v "AUOptions" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
    I tried your trick for Windows 10 Home version. Didn't work! As with most things, win some lose some.
