    How to Prevent from re-install updates


    Hi,

    I want to uninstall last AU Update (ver. 105) because it takes too long restarting Windows (from 46s to over 1min. 6s), but I believe Windows will at once re-install the Update.
    How to prevent this?
    Thank you.

    :)

    How to Prevent from re-install updates

    Hi, how do you prevent the AU being reinstalled?
    a. If you have Win 10 Pro you can defer upgrades.
    b. You can block all updates altogether
    Windows Update Automatic Updates - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
    Opt 4,5 for Home editions.
    c. You can set your internet connection to metered in Settings. This is said to block all updates, but is not an 'official' method.
    All editions.
    d. You can search the web:

  5. If you have 10 Home, the only way I know to prevent "automatic" Windows update is to stop the update service. But then you will not receive any updates at all. If you want to check/install future updates, you will need to restart the update service. If you have 10 Pro, you can specify how and when you want updates through "gpedit.msc". The following link may help:

    Thank you .
    I have the Home version.
    I know how to Disable the Automatic Updates, easiest way is disabling it in Services , but that is not what I am looking for. I just want to Stop the KB3176938 to be re-installed, once I have uninstalled it.

    I understand that, I was just giving some alternatives. Stopping the update service is pretty severe, not to mention a pain. If I had 10 Home, I would most likely follow your suggestions since he only wants to "delay" one update. This "feature" of Windows 10 is going to get a lot of backlash I believe. I understand Microsoft wanting to ensure updates are applied, but forcing the issue is probably a mistake.

    But Adwalar wants to block the AU - the build- not KB3176938, which is an update subsequent to the AU, so that won't do what he wants.

    Yes you can block the feature update to windows 10 build 1607. Select it and set to hide. Ive blocked 1607 and am still running 1511.

  12. Do you have 10 Home or 10 Pro? I did not know you could do that in 10 Home. That's good to know ... Thanks

    Thank you everybody for helping me on that issue.
    I will download and Install the wushowhide.cab.

    In the mean time I solved the problem, I did a In-Place Upgrade .
    Uninstall / reinstalled the Intel and Nvidia Graphics and also the Sound Drivers.
    A surpriese was that I got 22,5 Gb Free on the HDD after cleaning Windows and Previous Installations.
    After this Install, booting time got worse from 1min. 6s to 1min. 40s
    After some hours after re-install Drivers, system now restarts in 39s! I am happy with this.

    Seems it is playing a roll in performance to re-connect USB Devices that I had once connected a long time ago.
    I have seen in Event Viewer some errors that pointed to "USB Hub" missing, since a long time I had it not connected to system.
    So, I re-connected all USB Devices I own.

    EDIT: Unfortunately System is back to old long restart time.
    After I did a System Image, it reverted back to previous long restart, sometimes 1 min 6s, sometimes even longer as much as 1min. 40s.

    I uninstalled KB3176938 (build 1607.105) and after that I got Build 1607.0, so ALL previous updates were uninstalled too.
    So, that Cumulative Updates are also Cumulative Uninstall.
    I believe build 1607.0 has major issues, so that is pointless to use WUSHOWHIDE.
    The choice is: Stay with 1607.105 or 1607.0.
