>Entirely possible. I am not interested in workarounds. Especially not in a premium OS whose all previous applicable versions had that option. >No, typically you just type in what you want to mess with, e.g. language, region, firewall, mouse, applications, etc. and get the correct and useful thing. Right. Try typing "ads" in it. See how that turns out. Oh, and I don't care about what time are your parents having, this is completely irrelevant to intelligently designed control panel. In fact, the whole search function is. It should be supplementary, not primary.

> workarounds It is not a workaround. Users get one interface which ensures they don't endanger the rest of the world (similar to how in e.g. Germany newbie drivers get limiters in their car engines). Admins get a completely different interface which allows them absolute, complete and granular control. As someone with the know-how i don't need a workaround. I simply use the interface that was intended to fulfill my needs as a professional with the requisite knowledge and experience.

  There is no way to prevent specific updates from installing without using 3rd party tools.

    That is not correct. As i mentioned earlier, i have no desire to explain how to someone who doesn't already have the requisite knowledge, but Microsoft absolutely provides a first party interface that allows picking and choosing of which updates to install. In fact, all such third party tools are doing is providing a custom interface on top of the interface provided by microsoft.

    But it is correct. You're like a child who keeps telling everyone that it has a secret but it can't tell anyone. Considering how you have approached this whole "discussion", I am hardly surprised. I presume that your super secret secret is KB3073930, which is about as dodgy as your argumentation and is not a part of Windows.

      > KB3073930 Nope. Also, i'm seeing it more as an adult not telling a kid where the key to opening the gun locker is. Heck, the fact that you haven't yet googled it yourself is plenty proof to me that you don't have the mindset to be given such power. (You also messed up the reply chain.)

        I haven't yet "googled" it, because I have no need for it, nor do I have will to search for non-existent things. I can do it (dismiss specific updates before they are installed) just fine without your super secret workaround, thank you very much. Astonishing, is it not? And no, at the time I was posting, there simply was no "reply" button, so I assumed the thread has reached maximum reply depth.
