Hey Hackisack,

No need to be sorry, I understand exactly what you are referring to. I’m sure WAU Manager will do the job for you.

Cheers… Jim

I applied your previous tip and used group policies. However it was impossible to distinguish between defender or security updates and the big functional updates. I wanted to skip the functional updates: stupid Windows kept trying to download and install them even when I never had enough free disk space and apparently it is to hard to check for space before attempting to download/install *d’uh*
Unfortunately, while using group policies, some day an update occured and I did allow it, not knowing it was a fucntional one. Thus, I was again stuck in a download/ update-attempt loop, which I could not get out of. Windows was not allowing me anymore to select the ‘delay updates’ option (sorry, my Win is German, so I dunno rthe exact English terms).

Good catch! The typo has been corrected.
