AskWoody LoungerI have a file provided by Microsoft which blocks O/S updates selectively. I have one of dozens of Toshiba laptop models (with SSD) which will not upgrade past Win 10 v 1703 (The list is on a Toshiba website somewhere, sorry, i lost track of it). So i run wushowhide.diagcab which allows me to specify (with difficulty, since it is an interface that is rather hard to make sense of- too bad about the “no swearing” rule here or i could provide further details) that I do not want to update past v 1703. If i allow it to update, i lose about 45 minutes productivity until the computer realises it cannot accept the update and reverts to the previous version. But progs like MS Office continue to update, along with Windows defender and all that kind of stuff.

@Rick-Corbett,
Thanks for the update on WUB from v1.1
As I posted Here, there are several programs that do this, WUB included, it’s not an all inclusive list.WUB is among the easiest to understand and use, imho.

AskWoody PlusFor what it’s worth, when I opened this thread on a new browser tab, Heimdal Thor blocked the connection to sordum.org, the publishers of Windows Update Blocker; and when I right-clicked on the link to that site in the first post above, Pale Moon warned me that “this connection is untrusted”. The technical details explain that the site “uses an invalid security certificate”.

AskWoody_MVPI updated yesterday and was going to post about the update… but you beat me to it. 🙂
If only @velociraptor included a “what’s new”, either on the website or in the download… or have I missed it somewhere?
