    win 10 home cmd prompt to disable windows update question


    I ran the cmd prompt to disable windows update as it was becoming a real pain and, using up my limited bandwidth. It seems everything is working as usual and the updates have been disabled as planned. The one thing I noticed is when I run a sfc file scan, it says some files could not be repaired is this because of the cmd prompt that was ran? If that's all it is it's no problem because everything works just fine and I don't get the updates installed when not wanted. Thanks! *Smile

    :)

  2. Get Windows 10 now, no line, Force the update

    If your tired of waiting like I was on a few machines, here is the simple way to get Windows 10 Update to forcibly start ahead of waiting in the line.

    1: Go to Windows Update, change the settings by clicking both check boxes under Microsoft Update and Recommended Updates.

    2: Then Change the Important Updates Area to say "Install updates Automatically" on the drop down menu.

    3: Next open up CMD by right clicking on it and saying "Run as Administrator" (If you do not know where CMD is just click the start search area and type CMD)

    4: Once CMD is opened, type this command (But do not hit enter yet) wuauclt.exe /updatenow

    5: Next go back to the Windows update area and click "Check for Updates"

    6: Now go back to the CMD line and hit enter

    You should now be downloading Windows 10.

    It worked on every machine I have done this method for, you just have to have all the settings exactly what I listed and it works fine (Some people were not changing the Important Updates area drop down to say "Install Updates Automatically" which I found is required).

    Hope this helps some of yall who want to get Windows 10 now, works great for me!

  3. Windows update daily? Ugh

    Windows Update seems to be stuck trying to install a particular update, so this might be of use to you.

    Click Start, then type "cmd" (without quotes). Right-click cmd then it comes up and hit "Run as Administrator". At the command prompt, type "net stop wuauserv" (again, without quotes), wait for it to say "The Windows Update service was stopped sucessfully" or words to that effect. Leave cmd running.

    Navigate to C:\Windows (or whatever drive your OS is installed on), and delete the "SoftwareDistribution" folder. Once that's done, go back to cmd and type "net start wuauserv" (without wuotes again) and wait for it to say "The Windows Update was started sucessfully" or words to that effect. Exit cmd.

    Open Windows update, you will need to re-enable Microsoft Update as deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder resets Windows Update. Install any updates that come up and your problem *should* be fixed.

    If not, all I can suggest is either downloading that patch manually and installing it, or just reinstall Windows.
