15- Enjoy!
1- What made me make this tool is to disable updates while store apps download/install works
2- I don't recommend disabling windows update service while it will be needed while installing some programs that will need to install needed updates if they not included in the system, also some Visual C++ do the same ( Normal user wont know what we talking about so it's better to disable update without making another problem for him )
3- This tool don't replace any system files, it's all about editing registry/Disabling services/editing permissions
4- If you will use this tool to disable updates you must use it to enable it before using any other tools, Same with other tools
5- This tool tested in non updated systems, some updates may effect "Update & Security" in win10 1607 or older keep closing, as a workground for old Win10 Builds you can search for the settings you want or you can create a shortcut like ms-settings:windowsdefender more info The contents of this section are hidden The contents of this section are hidden
6- If you have any suggestions or feedback let me know, all ideas are welcome
7- You can give it a try, If you don't trust it don't use it!
