In Windows 10, you can also find it in the OS at:

Settings > Update and Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update.

There’s a bunch of other useful Troubleshooters in Settings > Update and Security > Troubleshoot as well.

What does one do with a file that has a “diagcab” file extension?

[PKCano]

You can download it and store it on your desktop (or other convenient place). When you want to troubleshoot Win10, you can double-click on the file and use it to do so.

Edit: Correction, not HIDE, but troubleshoot.

Excuse me. Win 10?  Then why are direct links for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 being given?

[PKCano]

Because there is a troubleshooter for each version.
This is the Tools Forum, and they are tools.

You said “When you want to HIDE an update in Win 10…”.  Why should i use the tool at the Windows 7 direct link above to do a hide instead of using hide update in Windows Update in Win 7?

[PKCano]

Sorry, my mistake. Should have been troubleshoot, not hide.
See the post directly above yours.
I have corrected the other one.

These 2 don’t work anymore:

Windows 7   http://aka.ms/diag_wu
Windows 8.1  https://aka.ms/diag_wu

Any ideas where I can get them?

Thanks!
