Windows 1803 update
« on: July 21, 2018, 05:31:27 am »

I booted into my mirror drive and discovered it's out date - which it should be, I keep a copy a month or two behind my primary install. Now Windows 10 wants to install this 1803 update, what is it?

The icing on the cake is, Windows 10 disabled update frequency control, you no longer have a choice in anything.

e.g. this article does not apply anymore:

It's late and just thinking out load but what about something simple like making MS's update site unavailable via the hosts file? Or does it find a way out come hell or high water?

U srs dude? Really? This is Microsoft we're talking about. the HOSTS file is to delude normies into believing that they have control over the OS.


When you mess around with Windows, I've concluded that you are on enemy territory that THEY!!!!!!! THEY!!! THEY!!! and not YOU control and "OWN".


After all, the software licenses prohibit reverse engineering.

Ha-Ha was just asking but that was the first counter-argument that popped into my head, why should they play by their own rules?

If there is a way out, they will find it.
