Microsoft has started rolling out the Windows 10 May 2020 Update, so it will be available on your computer soon. At the same time, more and more users are reporting that the Windows 10 2004 is causing problems on their computers. For example, the feature update has compatibility issues with Optane memory . So, if you want to block the latest Windows 10 update, then you can use an open source tool called “Wu10Man”.
How to Block Windows 10 Updates with Wu10Man?
Wu10Man was originally released in 2018, but developer recently updated it so that it can support more features, after seeing the popularity of the previous version. Wu10Man allows you to disable all Windows Services that are responsible for updating your system. The list includes Windows Update, Windows Modules Installer, and Windows Update Medic Service. To complete this process, you need to click on simple-to-use toggle buttons. In addition, with Wu10Man it is possible to block all domainsthat Windows 10 tries to access when it wants to download a feature update or a cumulative update. These URLs are listed in the “Host File” tab and can be blocked with a click on the corresponding toggle buttons.
Additionally, the tool extends the time limit for which you can pause or defer updates in Windows 10. The feature is already present in the app , but it only allows you to defer updates for a limited number of days. With Wu10Man, you can set different dates or number of days for feature updates and cumulative updates. In addition to blocking updates, you can also use this open-source utility to remove some unwanted apps from Windows 10, which are known as “bloatware.”
You can download Wu10Man from the GitHub, and you can either install it as a regular Windows 10 app or use the portable version. Finally, it's worth noting that the Wu10Man tool makes changes to the Windows registry, modifies services, etc. Therefore, you need to know exactly what you're doing, and of course, keep backups of your system.
