wushowhide cannot show “yet optional” 1909

you can try powershell scans, no reboot is actually required after changing deferral settings

I was looking at something the average User could do, my main focus.
The “2” in GP is the only thing that is not obvious (and maybe wushowhide 🙂 )

Start command prompt cmd.exe as administrator, and execute these commands one at a time

for the last two commands, first wait until Windows Update page is opened
then run the last command

remember, this only works if AU policy is set to 2 (notify before download..)
Home editions are excluded

If you are interested, i have a way to mimic “Check for updates” scan (i.e. reflected in WU page), and without initiating any download or installation

it actually only works with GP “2” value inplace 🙂

Very good news!

I’m still not sure how MS is pushing 1803 customers onto 1903 (or 1909).

I’ll add basically the same question: I’m running 1809.  I have no idea how to move to 1903.  Susan recommended “but we recommend jumping to Version 1903 at this time.”  I just ran the little batch file you supplied [very cool! Thanks!]  but…  it only showed today’s defender update.   Did I do something wrong?

Also: is there a way to run settings>security and update from an admin cmd prompt?   It [upsets] my system a bit to actually log in as admin [resets things like mouse and kbd settings that don’t get changed back when I log-out of the admin account] so it’d be great to be able to check those settings you did from something elevated in my user account.

2 current options :

1. Download the ISO 1903 from heidoc.net. Mount the ISO and run the setup.exe
2. If are on Pro version set Feature updates to 120+ and quality updates to 0.
