Microsoft enables hiding or locking unwanted Windows 10 updates

PanARMENIAN.Net - One of the most controversial decisions Microsoft made in its design of Windows 10, according to users, is a fundamental change to the way Windows Update works, ZDNet reports.

Windows 10 testers continuously complain that an updated Nvidia driver causes havoc with their systems.

When Windows 10 arrives this week, however, Windows Update won't include that option, but Microsoft does have a well-hidden troubleshooter package, KB3073930, which allows users to hide or block Windows Updates and, crucially, driver updates, ZDNet says.

The package was digitally signed on June 15, and the accompanying Knowledge Base article is dated July 7, just a few weeks ago. The package is labeled for use with the Windows 10 Insider Preview, but based on its performance on the final (10240) preview build, it looks like it should work with the final release beginning July 29, ZDNet says.
