It led to my recommendation last month that Windows 10 customers employ a combination of the metered connection trick and Microsoft's Wushowhide utility to control precisely which Windows 10 updates are applied and when. PC Armageddon will come, and I'm convinced it'll have 'Win10 Cumulative Update' written all over it.Ī month ago, I asked for volunteers to test whether Microsoft's Wushowhide utility works to block specific updates.
(Systems sitting behind Update servers such as WSUS and SCCM aren't as exposed.) While there haven't been any major problems with Windows 10 cumulative updates breaking large numbers of PCs, I believe we're living on borrowed time. If you're using Windows 10, you're well aware that your PC gets security and nonsecurity updates pushed by Microsoft.
