Seems to be blocking Windows updates on Education edition #388

INFORMATION:

I was surprised about the lack of updates to my Windows partition on my computer, having not used it for a couple of weeks. I removed all the tracking IPs and domains using DWT and then did a refresh on windows update, sure enough the Cumulative Updates started coming down.

This is a very real possibility. Remember, microsoft owns those servers and can do whatever they like with them. So what may have just been a tracking/telemetry server at one point could also be hosting education edition updates too now. There is no good way to do this. If you still want to use it, I recommend cherrypicking groups of ips (maybe 5 at a time) until you find which group lets your update through, and then figuring out which of those 5 are the one you want to remove with the next update that comes out.

Nothing we can do with this one, sorry.
