September 21, 20241 yr How to reliably avoid W11 24H2 update and continue to use the G2 with WMR, but keep critical security update? I think 24H2 starts to deploy in 3 days!

I'll have a look to the Crystal with my next rig probably.

September 26, 20241 yr I've read that preventing a feature update install, such as 24H2, is as easy as disabling the automatic feature update option that's found on the Windows Update app. Supposedly one can hold off a feature update install for one year by using this setting. Regardless of this option's setting, security updates will still automatically install. I'd imagine that if one uses this disabling method you'd have to be extra vigilant in what Windows asks you to install, but (disclaimer) as a G2 owning win 10 user this is something I'm not worried about (yet). Edit: of course I might be wrong here for I haven't ever tried it. I'll find out soon using my win 11 laptop.

October 3, 20241 yr https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/incontrol.html InControl allows you to take control of Windows updates, especially Feature Updates, Windows 10 to 11 updates, or any Windows update that installs without your consent. Developed by Gibson Research Corporation, the author of Never10, and many other popular security utilities. InControl is free, portable, and simple to use. Once you run InControl, you will be notified if you have control of Windows Updates. Click on Take Control if you don't. You can also restore control by pressing Release Control. InControl comes from Steve Gibson, a well-known name in the computer and security industry for longer than MajorGeeks has been around. While you can change these settings manually, Steve has simplified the process with this portable app. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......
