    WAU Mananger - What exactly can it do and not do?


    Windows 10 Home 1909

    I've recently started using Windows 10 and paused updates for as many days as I could.
    I also installed WAU Manager which I thought (perhaps it does?) would completely stop Windows automatically updating.
    I read some other threads and it seems that WAU can't stop forced updates which is what I want and that I need to hide an update to stop forced updates from happening.
    Is this correct?

    I installed WAU while I had Windows Update on pause. Just wondering if this could have caused a problem when it was unpaused?

    The pause came to an end today and updates were updated in the backround. I had a popup to restart my laptop.
    Luckily I have not been updated to 2004.

    I'm not 100% sure what I should now be doing to stop any forced update. I thought with WAU I could choose which updates to install but earlier the updates were updated in the background!

    Is WAU Manager all I need or do I need to do more?

    Do I still need to pause Windows updates?

    :)
