Windows 10: Please Help Me Undo This Crazy Anti Auto Update Batch File

Please excuse me for posting hastily right after registration, it's not elegant, but I'm in dire need of help after hours of manual operations *Sad

Basically, someone borrowed my computer and executed this batch file without asking me first. Could you please help me undo it? I'm a long time Windows user and can understand the smaller part of it, so I went into registry to configure Windows Update keys, reset my firewall rules to default, restarted the auto update services, etc. I also checked my local policies, and all items related to Windows update are "Not configured." Other than those, I had no idea or experience with "ACL"...

The task is not completed so far, since in the Windows Update setting, it still shows "some settings are managed by your organization". I am the administrator and the only user of this computer so this is not necessary to say the least.

Anyway, after hours of trying to manually correct the settings, I finally had enough and searched very hard to find the original batch file texts online. I wonder if this could finally end my misery of this morning. Would it be possible to create a batch file that exactly reverse this process?

Thank you so much for your help! Please see the codes quoted below.

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

 

need batch file help

I think you can just use the "Call" command in your batch file.
The batch file should delay execution until the call command finishes.

Call myprogram.exe
Call mysecondprogram.exe

Haven't done much batch coding lately *Smile
