I am currently running Windows 10 HOME 21H1. When I run wushowhide, it works perfectly except it always downloads any Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework before I can hide it. The “Preview” update seems to ignore wushowhide, I then have to wait for it to install and then I manually have to uninstall the update, which takes a considerable amount of time installing/uninstalling. It there something I am doing wrong with wushowhide. Besides the preview update, wushowhide works perfectly.
I follow PKCano instructions shown below.
Thank you for any assistance.
