Windows 10: Something BETTER than WUMT: Meet WUMgr!!

Spent a very enjoyable half-hour on Skype with the developer of Windows Update Manager (WUMgr) this morning. Based in Vienna, David Xanatos is bilingual in German and English, and has created a worthy replacement for or alternative to the now-aging Windows Update Mini Tool (WUMT). Why should you consider using this tool instead?
1. It's open source and can be maintained by the community. The code is in C#, built in Visual Studio, and provides better handling of .COM objects and elements (WUMT is in C/C++, and requires code wrappers to access and manipulated .COM objects). Xanatos sounds pretty committed to keeping the tool updated on an ongoing basis.
2. If offers controls to turn off Windows Update automation, and supplant it with carefully controlled manual user action.
3. It restores Windows former ability to present users with a download list, and let them pick what they want to download and update.

The easy download is from MajorGeeks, where the most current 0.8 version is available: Download WuMgr - MajorGeeks. Or visit the developer's GitHub page, and use the download button to grab the ZIP version. It runs as a portable app standalone, and requires no dlls, ini files, or whathaveyou. Works great from a USB Flash drive (I've tried that usage scenario myself).

Look at these WU controls:

Remove Meeting from Cortana

Can you see the meeting that recurs on your PC? If you can, follow the steps below to delete that meeting:

• Launch Cortana through the Start button.
• Now, click on the very top right icon (three lines).
• Next, choose “remind me”.
• Click and hold the reminder in question, choose “delete” on the option that appears.

If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reach us.

 

WUMT Integrator

All windows updates whether from MS Windows Update or WUMT go to:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download provided Windows is installed in C:\Windows.

Note: I have a Cannon printer driver that shows up in WUMT also. I have chosen to hide it. If is working why mess with it? I am just saying.

 

**** Meeting Content

Hi,

Please can someone tell me how long content remains in a Skype for business meeting or if in fact I go back into my calendar to a meeting last month for example to download the presentation or whiteboard? how does it change depending
on whether I used a new meeting space or a dedicated meeting space, say for a recurring meeting.

If I can go back to a meeting to pick up the content is it only if I was the organiser or a presenter or can I do this I was an attendee.

I have found this information but it doesn't give me the detail I need:-

Meeting Content Retention

Customers using Skype for Business Online can upload content to a Skype for Business Meeting as attachments, such as PowerPoint presentations, OneNote files, and other files. The retention period for content that has been uploaded to a meeting is as follows:

• 
  One-time meeting Content is retained for 15 days starting from when the last person leaves the meeting.
  
• 
  Recurring meeting Content is retained for 15 days after the last person leaves the last session of the meeting. The retention timer resets if someone joins the same meeting session within 15 days. For example, assume a Skype for Business
  meeting is scheduled to occur on a weekly basis for one year, and a file is uploaded to the meeting during the first instance. If at least one person joins the meeting session every week, the file is retained in Skype for Business Online servers for the entire
  year plus 15 days after the last person leaves the last meeting of the series.
  
• 
  Meet Now meeting Content is retained for 8 hours after the meeting end time.
  

Meeting Expiration

Users can access a specific meeting after the meeting has ended, subject to the following expiration time periods:

• 
  One-time meeting Meeting expires 14 days after the scheduled meeting end time.
  
• 
  Recurring meeting with end date Meeting expires 14 days after the scheduled end time of the last meeting occurrence.
  
• 
  Meet Now meeting Meeting expires after 8 hours.
  

How can you get back to a meet now meeting?

Many thanks for your help.
