Pause Windows Update

Help & Support Request a Script

Please prepare a procedure that would do the same as the following registry entry, i.e. pausing Windows Update until 2069, patch management I will implement from the Endpoint Manager

@kamiloxf have you managed to exclude MS Preview updates from installing with EM?

You may also want to reconsider just using Enterprise Manager for MS updates because it doesn’t support Windows feature updates.

Will someone be able to rewrite the registry entry into a procedure that I can use in the Endpoint Manager console?

I will check with the concern team and get back to you.

Thank you

@kamiloxf Since the current Xcitium system doesn’t detect Windows feature updates, by pausing until 2069, they will not install.

I mean monthly updates released as part of the patch thusday and I do not want them to install automatically
My reg entry causes exactly like this:

ApplicationFrameHost_p1meDjwAtM
ApplicationFrameHost_p1meDjwAtM1202×932 71 KB

Since the current Xcitium patching system doesn’t support Windows Feature updates, they’ll never install.

Hi
I tested the provided script and it works properly thanks for your help in writing.

@kamiloxf How do you plan to install the Feature Update on machines?

12

@PremJKumar, would you be able to also add to the script to turn on/off ‘beta’ or ‘releases preview’ updates?
