Windows 10: Manual Update Possible?

I just checked my desktop computer. The Windows Update shows 2 Updates. One says STATUS: Pending Install. The other says STATUS: Installation 100%. Its been sitting like this for 2 days. Anyway to get it to install when I want it? Like "press here to install now" button?

:)

 

Manual updates possible or not

Hi there

Is it possible to manually install updates. I don't like this "Dumbed down" methodology as you might with very good reason not want to install "all possible updates".


You can't (or I can't find it) even get a history of your updates -- another retrograde step.

This is one area that has definitely regressed -- what happens if you have say 6 computers --do I need to download say a new build 6 times for the computers. There won't always be ISO's available as far as I can see if this automatic update becomes the norm.

I suppose this is all because of that stupid "Store" system copied from Apple and Google. Those businesses have a different business model. Ms doesn't need to go that route.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Windows 10 Manual Updates Management

I have just installed windows 10. When windows 10 is updating (and only when its updating) there is a chance the system will randomly hang/freeze.

This is very annoying and happens often but, only when updating.

In an attempt to avoid this problem, I have decided to manually download and install updates.

To do so, I have to do the following.

1. Disable Windows 10 automatic updates.
   
2. While windows 10 updates are disabled find and list all the required updates (preferable with a dependency tree of some kind)
   
3. Download the required updates manually.
   
4. Install the required updates manually.
   

I was able to figure out the steps (1) and (3) (and I'm guessing step (4) is a simple execution)

How should I go about achieving step (2)?
