(and you can also simply not install/uninstall KB3035583 aka GWX)
- degenerate 11y agoWith all due respect to this official microsoft solution, it's a huge pain in the complicated ass for casual users to follow. GWX Control panel is just click, click, done - something you can tell your grandma to do.
- jimbobimbo 11y agoUnfortunately, it looks like that same tool could make it a bit too easy to disable Windows Updates altogether, which is not a good idea. I'd rather endure some pain with going through the registry route, but apply a fix that addresses only one particular behavior.
- TrevorJ 11y agoMS isn't respecting the update settings I choose allready. I no longer trust any of the so called "solutions" they are offering. Edit: in my particular case I tracked it down to a third party install that was forcing a windows update, so it wasn't directly an issue with MS in this case.
- Daviey 11y agoThere is also a registry fix that I came across recently.. even simpler.
