Gamers Should Be Worried About Windows 10 Automatic Updates.

[jcpg 1]

I'll stay with W7 for as long as I possibly can. Hate fixing bugs and issues that should not be there when you get a new operating or any other software...unnecessary problems.

 

Cheers.

Did everyone miss this sentence or am I the only one that sees it.

 

"The tool is aimed at Windows Insiders running Windows 10 but will also work for normal users after the official launch of the OS on July 29."

No where on the KB article is that written.

WINDOWS 10 SPECIFIC TWEAKS:

 

   1. Disables the download and automatic updates from Windows Update
       Notifications for new updates but no auto downloads

 

         Code/ Regedit:

                     

        [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
        "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
        "AUOptions"=dword:00000002
        "ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
        "ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003

 

   2.  Windows Update will only download updates from Microsoft servers (No LAN and Peers)

 

        dword:00000000 = off
        dword:00000002 = lan only
        dword:00000003 = lan and web

 

         Code/ Regedit:

 

        [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DeliveryOptimization\Config]
        "DownloadMode"=dword:00000000
