    WindowsUpdates in Windows 10 Pro edition - how to choose them manually


    One of the features of Windows 10 I don't like is how you can't choose which individual Windows Updates are installed.

    I don't know if I am missing something but I heard that this is only the case on the Home edition, and on the Pro edition (which I am running), you can select which updates are downloaded and installed like in previous versions of Windows. But I can't find this setting anywhere. Any advice?

    Thanks

    :)

    Hundreds of failed Windows 10 updates

    That's not correct. Please explain why I was pestered by these failing updates after last October 10 2017:

    need fix for cumulative update for windows 10 version 1607 for x64 systems (KB3197954 - Error 0x8e5e0152

    When I typed powershell into search there were three options under apps:

    1) Windows PowerShell

    2) Windows PowerShell ISE (x86)

    3) Windows PowerShell (x86)

    Choosing one of them and entering "Get-WindowsUpdateLog" produced:

    PS C:\Users\a> Get-WindowsUpdateLog

    Copy-Item : Cannot find path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Defender\SymSrv.dll' because it does not exist.

    At C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\WindowsUpdate\WindowsUpdateLog.psm1:56 char:5

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

    PS C:\Users\a>

    The path did not seem to work.

    Changing tit to windowsupdate.log produced:

    Windows Update logs are now generated using ETW (Event Tracing for Windows).

    Please run the Get-WindowsUpdateLog PowerShell command to convert ETW traces into a readable WindowsUpdate.log.

    When I entered that it reopened what was posted in the earlier post: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036646

    I ran a google search to learn about powershell. One of the links indicated entering powershell into search then right click on powershell ISE then select run as administrator.

    This was displayed after choosing run as administrator and entering get-windowsupdatelog

    Set Windows Updates to Notify, either using the tutorial above or enter this into CMD as admin:

    reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v "AUOptions" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
    reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v "NoAutoUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

    Then Check for Updates, then use MS tool to block updates, you do not want:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930

    Download the remaining updates, more or less simple. *Nerd

    As far as I know, it should work on Home as well, but can not verify it.

    /u/TairikuOkami, this works great, that Fixit is wonderful, I was able to hide KB3081455.

    I set it to "Notify" only so the next time there are updates, I can run the tool *before* I update. This time, I ran it while it was prepping the updates, and it still hid which updates I selected. Thank Ghawd.
