1-search for command prompt

3-in command prompt type "net stop wuauser" then press enter
4-when #3 is finished type "net stop bits" then press enter

5-go to C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder
6-delete the folder contents
7-there may be more SoftwareDistribution folders - if so delete those folder contents
(note if you are having problems deleting them just restart the computer. Also you can rename the folder contents to .BAK for backup)

When you are ready to turn on the updates then repeat the above #3-4, but change the word stop to start. It may take a while for Win 10 updates the first time you run them as Win 10 must establish what you already have. Note do not type the quotes, just the data between them.


Pfff, too much work for me, but this nifty tool makes it quite easier: Win10Privacy
Free and from a German guy i really appreciate ... F


Fiddler, this is a neat little program. Thanx for sharing it. But it has a different purpose. If your Win 10 updates will not install correctly your program will not help whereas mine will. BOTH are good to have.

My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
