I have a mini laptop with Intel Atom, a 32Gb eMMC and Windows 10 1607 installed (using "free upgrade" from original Windows 8.1). Microsoft dropped support for my CPU, so later service packs (OK, "editions") of Windows 10 won't work.
Not a big issue, but it keeps trying to download and install service packs every time is powered on (today is trying to install Windows 10 version 1709). I'd like to install security updates, but I want it to avoid downloading service packs that can't be installed. Is there any method to forbid specific updates from Windows 10 "free" editions?
Thanks.
SOLUTION?
I've found a thread that speaks of a Windows fix called wushowhide that allows you to hide updates in Windows 10. I've hidden Windows 10 1803 edition and silverlight, and it seems that it works... but Windows 10 is well known to "accidentally" forget Windows Update settings, and I guess that newer releases will not be blocked automatically.
