AskWoody PlusI am getting errors also. Seems to have started with platform update that installed when I released metered connection yesterday morning. Definition updates have followed but may not be compatible with updated platform. Just a guess this stuff is over my head.
Here are the errors I get:
One website said restart the service. This is what I got when I tried.
Microsoft Answers has people restarting in recovery mode and resetting their computers. I’m not doing any of that. Basically, Microsoft Answers not helpful and suggest Microsoft fix. Tenforums.com came to same conclusion. I would not have gone through their complicated instructions. Glad ball was swatted back to Microsoft’s court.
How vulnerable am I while Windows defender is broken?

AskWoody PlusThe update for Microsoft Visual Studio Tools 2010 is gone but I removed the program so that may be why. Everything else I hid is still there.
Updates for Windows Defender had been in wushowhide since at least 8/1/2020 and do not seem able to get through metered connection. So I turned off metered connection after I was sure those were the only ones pending. Then I clicked check for updates and the Defender updates downloaded and installed. There are no updates now showing to hide.
Then I paused updates until 9/9/2020. That works better for me. I think Defender updates are important and they can get through pause but not metered.
So I won’t know until September if the hidden updates stay hidden because nothing shows in wushowhide when updates are paused.
Still researching the two HP updates and will try to know next month if they are important and I should unhide one or both.
Thank you.

AskWoody PlusOK. Hidden updates are gone again. Now lets see if they stay gone. Last time they were back in less than a day.
Thanks to all for your interest.

AskWoody PlusYes. That was the first thing I checked.
On August 2, 2020 at 10:52 pm, when I posted here, all but the 2020-07 Cumulative Update were gone and the cumulative update downloaded and installed and the queue was empty.
All are still hidden but returned to the queue anyway.

If updates are hidden and do not appear in the queue one day, why don’t they stay hidden. They are hidden in wushowhide but keep returning to the queue. What is the point if they keep coming back?
Windows did one update and only the update I wanted appeared in the queue. I turned off metered connection and it downloaded and installed. Success! Empty queue. I turned metered connection back on.
Today I was about to turn off metered connection to update office and thought I better check the queue first. And there they were again. Had I not checked they would have downloaded and installed.
I thought once hidden in wushowhide they would not appear in the queue again.

AskWoody PlusI have Windows10 Home v1909 so no Group Policy. I have AKB2000013 mastered all right. It seems that is all I do. The “hidden” updates keep coming back.
Thanks for your thoughts though.

AskWoody PlusThey’re baaaack. These updates are still hidden but showed up in the queue again.
Also couldn’t turn metered connection off to download Microsoft Office 2019 C2R updates or everything would have loaded and installed. Since it is C2R thought I would try with metered on. It stuck on “downloading office updates” for about 10 minutes then said it detected I had a data limit and could it download anyway and even though I clicked yes it stuck on “downloading office updates” again for about 30 minutes. So I ended the task using Task Manager. That somehow woke it up and another box immediately popped up and said to close all aps while office updates are installed which they quickly did and the computer restarted. So I guess C2R can get through a metered connection with permission but got stuck somehow.
I will try to clear the queue again but I am inclined to just turn off metered connection and let it all go. This is not something I wish to do every day. Probably should let the updates from HP load on this HP computer anyway. And I somehow have NET on this computer anyway so might as well let it update.

AskWoody PlusTa Da! It worked. Windows checked for updates and only came up with the one I wanted and the three I did not want are not in the queue.
So I turned off metered connection and let Windows do its thing.

AskWoody PlusWell overnight Windows Update ran and everything was in the queue except the Definition Update for Windows Defender which installed.
I double checked and verified the update(s) I did not want were hidden, and then verified they are not available to be hidden. That was the case last night and it is still so this morning. Yet here they all are in the queue this morning.
I will wait one more time for Windows to update. I know I am completeing each step to clear the queue. I don’t know why it is not working.

AskWoody PlusWell this time I followed instructions exactly. I hid two HP updates and the NET update. See figure below.
I then went through the steps to clear the queue and when I went to see if it was clear it was not. See figure below.
So, I went through the procedure again with the same result.
Then I decided maybe this is not wrong. Windows update is just showing what failed to install. If I wait with metered connections on, then eventually it will check for updates and only find the updates I have not hidden.
And when I check the queue if that is all that is there, I can then turn off metered connections and only the updates I want will download and install.
Hope that is right.

AskWoody PlusI have a retail version of Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019. I do not have Microsoft Office 365. I bought Office 2019 with the understanding I would only get security updates.
On July 8, 2020 I installed Windows 10 updates for June 2020 and at the same time clicked install now on my Office 2019 Account page. I received Version 2006 (build 13001.20266 Click-to-Run) released June 30, 2020. It is apparently a feature update.
See – https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/current-channel#version-2006-june-30
Retail versions of Office 2016 C2R and Office 2019 share the same release dates and version numbers and update together. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-2019#retail-versions-of-office-2016-c2r-and-office-2019
It may be best to leave updating off on Office 2019 and just click install on Office 2019 when I install Windows 10 updates. I guess I could also check if the volume license version had any problems for the same month.
I do not think the retail version of Microsoft Office Home and Business 2019 has all the different “channel” choices you refer to for updating. I think that is only for Office 365. I never found the “patch watch column” you refer to. Is that on another site?
Sorry for the late reply but I never got any emails that anyone had replied to this post. Thanks for your help.

AskWoody PlusI decided to pause updates tonight rather than tomorrow morning. Leaving my internet connection on metered connection was blocking Defender Definition updates.
So I turned off metered connection. I had run wushowhide and knew only a definition was pending. So I clicked “Check for Updates” and the Definition downloaded and installed. (I did the same thing yesterday when I saw a Definition pending in wushowhide. But yesterday I turned metered connection back on.)
Pause does not block Defender Updates. But metered connection does. From July 8 when I first turned metered connection on until yesterday, July 11, no definitions had been installed. So I went looking.
Metered connection is now off.
Windows update service is now Running/Manual (Trigger Start).
I have paused updates for 35 days.
