Anyway I checked wushowhide and nothing was hidden, while when I used the trouble shooter on windows update it said it detected issues. Note: I rolled back from 24h2 when it forced installed on this pc and then used the wushowhide to hide the update as it was still showing on my list, and it kept showing even after using the tool for a while and then nothing for a month until yesterday when I found the system saying pending restart.....This is my l

Windows Show Hide not hiding 2004 feature update

Show/Hide has always worked for me. Yesterday I had about 10 updates show. I want to install all BUT the 2004 Feature Update, so hid that in Show/Hide. It shows as hidden there, but when I check Windows Update again the next day, it is still listed. Normally, it would not be and all other updates would be. Now all are there and I do not yet care to install the feature update.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks.

How to hide/delete Windows Update suggestion

Hi JDV,

WUSHOWHIDE has removed the old driver from "it's" list, so it is not available to hide or check it a 2nd time. So running WUSHOWHIDE again is ineffective as it still shows up on the UPDATE page.

I did run all the other steps you mentioned, to no avail, except for DISM/SFC. I'll try to run those today.

Not feeling real confident on loading the ISO file as suggested in your next post. I've done it before on fresh installs, but not on an otherwise good installation.

The issue is a minor annoyance and not the BSOD.

Thanx for your help and follow up John.

[Windows 10] hide/prohibit install of specific Windows Update

Edit: Try "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter package first and let us know if it works for you.


Adapted from Preventing a certain Windows Update from installing on Windows 10 by Igal Tabachnik.

• Uninstall the problematical driver/update.
• Restart the computer, if necessary, and/or switch to an administrator account.
• Download Windows Update PowerShell Module and extract it to: %WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules After doing so, you will have a %WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\PSWindowsUpdate folder with a bunch of files.
• Start -> All Apps -> expand Windows PowerShell -> right-click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as Administrator. This is very important or you'll get errors in Windows PowerShell.
• Now you should see the PowerShell window and you'll have to enter a series of commands. First order of business is loading up PSWindowsUpdate. Note: You have to do this every time you restart PowerShell and want to use PSWindowsUpdate commands!
  CommandDescriptionSet-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -ForceAllows the use of unsigned PowerShell scripts.Import-Module PSWindowsUpdateLoads PSWindowsUpdateSet-ExecutionPolicy Restricted -ForceClose the potential security hole.
• Enter Get-WUList. This command will take a little while to execute. It retrieves the list of all available updates on Windows Update. If you do not see the problematical update here, it is either no longer being offered or it is installed.
• Now you need to decide how to filter what update you want to hide. Here's some examples:
  CommandDescriptionHide-WUUpdate -Title "*Realtek High Definition Audio"This looks for a title that ends with (note the asterisk) "Realtek High Definition Audio"Hide-WUUpdate -Title "Realtek*"This looks for a title that starts with (note the asterisk) "Realtek"
  When you enter the above command, it will loop through all results it finds and ask whether or not you want to hide it. Make sure you only say "yes" to the one you want hidden and "no" to the rest.
• It will automatically show the updated results. Verify there is an "H" under the status of the ones you want hidden and not behind the rest. If it is correct, close out of PowerShell and return to your normal user account if necessary. Run Windows Update and the update should not show/install.

If you want to unhide an update, add -HideStatus:$false to the Hide-WUUpdate command.
