Windows 10: Windows Update Blocker vs. netsh winhttp set proxy 0.0.0.0:8888

In another post:

How to prevent 1803 forever?

one of the authors was reluctant to post the name "Windows Update Blocker" in the above thread and was kind enough to PM me privately with the name however Windows Update Blocker appears numerous times in this forum so since I have run into a problem with it I am taking the liberty of naming it in order to ask my question. I'll delete this post if anyone does not want that app named.

So I ran it this morning and Bitdefender promptly nuked it. In the same thread above another poster mentioned using "netsh winhttp set proxy 0.0.0.0:8888" to block updates and I am wondering if anyone uses this method and if so without incident and does it work. TIA.

Downloading updates stuck at 0%


Hello everyone, Windows Update has been stuck at 0% every time I've tried in the last couple of days (see screenshot). These are the two updates available:

• Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3103688).

• Cumulative Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3105213).

 

Raid 0 help

Hi all, I've followed the IRST raid installation directions and I have created myself a Raid 0 volume. Rapid storage confirms my successful migration from a system disc to a raid 0 array. I'm also able to select it as my boot device in BIOS, but what I don't understand is why it is not listed in my Drives under my computer

In fact, my computer still lists my original C: drive with the original capacity. I feel as if I've miss an important step here and I'm unsure how to proceed.

 

Regedit : ProxySettingPerUser set back to 0

Hello !

My friend bought a new LapTop with Windows 10 on it last month.

Until now, the laptop always had a Proxy problem.

After opening Regedit, and go to :

" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings"

the ProxySettingPerUser value is set on 0, so I set it back to 1 and then Internet works !

Next day, it set back to 0 itself :/ so I have to set it back to 1... again and again.

The only thing that my friend do is changing the Access Point which is between her AP at home and the AP at school.

Do you know why the value is always set back to 0?

Thanks for reading !
