Question: Windows update disabled? #76

Closed AstragoDE closed 1 year ago

Description

In one of the videos in the "Used code references" section, it was mentioned, that Windows updates are being disabled. Is this also the case in the "Win Debloat Tools" version that is distributed using this repository? If so, is it still possible to update Windows using the "Windows Update" Tab in the settings?

I used the Apply Tweaks Button. I am using Windows 11 Pro.

Thanks for the reply in advance.

Hello @AstragoDE and responding to your question: No, Windows Update isn't disabled, it would be problematic to do such a thing, the tweaks i did are to change driver behavior on Windows Update and let the user choose when to download and install the updates.

Windows Update will keep enabled as default, as it bring "security" and "resources" to Windows.

I am careful when taking Registry tweaks from YT videos, not every tweak can be trusted, as it can damage or reduce stability from the system.
