Windows 10: Two .reg Files for 20H2 and 21H1

On Beeping Computer or Tech Radar (can't remember witch) They have a .reg file to prevent 20H2 from being upgraded to 21H1. Also a .reg file that you can use to go back to letting Windows Update update to 21H1. Anyone use these ? I have them downloaded . Are they safe to use ?

:)

 

Should I update to 20H2 or wait for 21H1?

Welcome to Ten Forums.

To go from 1909 to the next version, whether that's 20H2 or 21H1, is a major feature update that will install new system files and save your old system to a Windows.old folder. This can take up to an hour to install, whether you go for 20H1 or wait for 21H2.

The update from 20H1 to 21H2 however will then be a minor feature update, a small enablement package that turns on dormant features and installs in a few minutes, just like a cumulative update. I'd go for 20H2 now, the update to 21H1 will then be quick when it's released - plus it will be optional so you can wait to see if others report problems before deciding to update.

With any major upgrade, it is a wise precaution to make a system image of your current system before you start. Many here use Macrium Reflect Free for that purpose.

 

Adapting .REG Files.

Thanks KeithM for the suggestions.

I will have a go at that later!

I assume that I can add the completed working menu to ALL 7 sections that you have listed to make it available wherever I am in the OS, is that correct please?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps try the only thing that worked for me (posted on the previous page). I had gone through every other option being suggested here:
