  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?

    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?

      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?

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