if I revert the Feature deferral to 0 – but touch nothing else – will it trigger a Search for Updates?

It should not (but I’m not Microsoft)
I’d reboot the computer to be sure TRV in GP takes affect, and wait a couple of days (again to be sure), then do it.

Won’t running ‘usoclient.exe StartScan’ force scan for update ?

cheers, Paul

Apple doesn’t sell users data.

We believe technology should protect users’ fundamental right to privacy, and that means giving users tools to understand which apps and websites may be sharing their data with other companies for advertising or advertising measurement purposes, as well as the tools to revoke permission for this tracking. When enabled, a system prompt will give users the ability to allow or reject that tracking on an app-by-app basis. We want to give developers the time they need to make the necessary changes, and as a result, the requirement to use this tracking permission will go into effect early next year.

Does my 365 Deferral NOW refer to 20H2,

Your 365 refers to number of days from your CURRENT installed Windows 10 version release date.
If you are on 1909 365 days end at November 12, 2020.
1909 EOL is May 2021 (18 months of support).

to mitigate any damage by ms patching and depend solely on WUmgr?

If you are on a Pro version then GP ‘notify…’ = 2 and the usual deferrals of Quality/Feature updates will keep you from auto installing of monthly/yearly updates.
You can set quality deferral = 0 to see what’s coming and then use Wumgr to hide until you are ready to unhide.

Comments on AKB 2000016: Guide for Windows Update Settings for Windows 10

Setting your version to 1909 won’t block monthly updates, just feature upgrades.

Microsoft removed UI deferrals in version 2004 .

Does MS generally remove third-party software via a Windows update?

Flash is removed for security reasons.

“Applying this update will remove Adobe Flash Player from your Windows device.”

I think you missed the point. It (probably) intend to remove installed Flash not the embedded flash in IE/Edge.

Two weeks ago after a restart I got big notice on my screen from Adobe advised to remove Flash, which I did. I don’t have Flash any more. This uninstall had nothing to do with Flash in browsers.

Windows 10 File Search Absolutely Unreliable

You don’t need Windows 10 File Search when there is the free, portable Everything app with search result in a blink of an eye.

How to remove HP printer driver ‘malware’ from Mac

..”We unintentionally revoked credentials on some older versions of Mac drivers,” said a HP spokesperson. “This caused a temporary disruption for those customers and we are working with Apple to restore the drivers. In the meantime, we recommend users experiencing this problem to uninstall the HP driver and use the native AirPrint driver to print to their printer.”..

How to remove the HP printer driver
Go to System Preferences
Click on Printers & Scanners
Choose your HP printer from the Printers list on the left
Click the minus sign at bottom left
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Printers/hp
Drag the printer driver to the trash
Go back to System Preferences
Click on Printers & Scanners if it doesn’t open at that
Click the plus sign at bottom left and re-add the printer..

According to Microsoft there is a fix. Have you tried installing KB4568831 ?

I don’t trust Microsoft’s wushowhide anymore and moved to wumgr.

Nathan: What about checking driver properties in MacOS to check owner, version, install date…?

You should.

After the update you will need to set GP to 2004 as Microsoft removed the deferrals in Pro version.
