Except where noted above, my network connection should be set to metered at all times to guard against as much MS sneakiness as possible.I should then follow the proc listed under this topic (AKB2000013) in order to ensure the Windows Update cache is properly cleared, the appropriate updates are well and truly hidden and only the updates I have elected NOT to hide are available for download downloaded, and installed.I can then xref the KB numbers against the master patch list and determine which patches I want to hide/unhide.Whenever I am of a mind to check for updates (every Patch Tuesday, for instance), Update and Security will display the latest patches that are on offer (and which have not previously been hidden by me using wushowhide), in a “queued for download” state.I’ve configured update settings and group policy as outlined in the topic “Configuring update on win10/pro”.If that’s correct, can you validate the following summary of my understanding then? Once you see that only the ones you want are there, turn off Metered connections and allow download.” I guess if I take the statement “+ Reset connections to Metered BEFORE the Restart.” and loop back to the first step “Be sure your Network connections are set to metered connections each time before shutting down the computer.” it follows that you’re saying keep your Network set to Metered unless following the specific step “+ Now you should be able to open Settings\Updates and Security and update without getting the hidden updates. My question is about the last bullet in proc AKB2000013. If you do not follow the above procedure, the updates you have supposedly hidden may not be cleared from the Settings\Updates and Security\Windows update queue and will thus be downloaded and installed in spite of the fact you THINK you have hidden them. + Reset connections to Metered BEFORE the Restart. Once you see that only the ones you want are there, turn off Metered connections and allow download. + Now you should be able to open Settings\Updates and Security and update without getting the hidden updates. This should allow Windows Update to search for updates without clicking on “Check for Updates.” It may take up to 36 hours for it to check on it’s own. + Immediately run wushowhide and verify the update(s) are hidden, then verify they are not available to be hidden. + Open Services – highlight Windows Update Service, set to Manual, Apply, DO NOT start the service. + Restart the computer ( not shutdown/bootup) + Open Services – highlight Windows Update Service, Disable, Apply, Stop the service (upper left) + Hide KB 4023057 (and whatever other updates you do not want). + Boot computer with metered connections on. That way, you are on Metered connections when you boot up. My method for hiding/avoiding KB 4023057 (and any other updates you do not want):īe sure your Network connections are set to metered connections each time before shutting down the computer. If you have ever experienced this, here is an explanation and a way to avoid it in the future. “I hid the updates using whshowhide, but they installed anyway.”
