The second day, at startup, there were two installed updates. This added four entries to the update download folder. The first day, a message popped up unexpectedly announcing the addition of a feature. Then I just let it run to see what would happen. I reactivated network access and started WuMgr. After installation, I used a USB stick to transfer the WuMgr zip file and extracted it, configured it to Manual, Run in Background and Disable Automatic Updates. That should leave lots of updates for testing. I created a Win 10 VM and disabled the network adapter before installing the latest Win10 ISO (1.631) to prevent upgrade or feature additions by the installer. I currently have Win8.1 and Win7 computers and wanted to experiment with WuMgr in a VM before upgrading anything to Win10. WuMgr is brand new to me and my questions are pretty elementary. Anybody who didn’t already have this little program will now have to get it from unofficial sources. Everyone reading this might want to heed the note in Born’s post about Microsoft removing the download link for wushowhide.diagcab. (You can find some ideas in the first link down in my signature line.) I might also think about the simpler of Born’s suggestions, copying the WUMgr files onto their own empty folder so that I could monitor what files go into it.Īs for changing the permissions, that’s one of those topics where my eyes glaze over as soon as I read the phrase “write permissions,” 😉 so someone else may be better able to handle that part. If I were concerned about this happening but wished to keep using WUMgr, the first step I’d take would be to beef up my PC’s security. I dunno, it seems to me that if malware could do this sort of thing on your system, then your security was already compromised and you’d have bigger things to worry about than whether some malicious DLL might get copied onto the WUMgr folder. I only add this stuff in case WuMgr may have an impact on these. So as you can see no big production stuff. Sorry about the haphazard presentation – I’ve been stopping and blocking since first Win 10 I saw- 17xx I think? Maybe 1803? I suspect I may want to do a clean install before too long! I actually use more utils than actual product producing proggies- Use open office for spread sheet and word proc, quicken, email client,firefox, VLC. What of the settings at the bottom right corner? Options and Auto and Auto update? There appears to be some missing information here.Īlso, I have used several settings within group policy and registry to control wu- will these have any impact on WuMgr? ie notice to download updates, exclude Drivers from quality updates and set automatic update options.Īlso have blocked edge, Internet explorer,Cortana, some Telemetry (w10tel.cmd script written by–?), stopped indexing, stopped prefetch- more do not come to mind right now but will any of these be affected? Also set to stay on ver 1909 in group policy editor.
