StopUpdates10 makes it easy for you to allow or block Windows 10 updates anytime.

StopUpdates10 does require installation but is simple to use. By default, you should see "Windows Updates is not blocked" in red letters and a red button that says "Stop Windows Updates!" Once blocked, everything is reversed and in green letters with text that says "Windows Updated is blocked!" and a button that reads "Restore Windows Updates."

Additionally, Greatis offers links to their other freeware programs including UnHackMe, BootReacer, Anti-WebMiner, and Edge Reset Button.

Winpilot (formerly Bloatynosy and Debloos) is an Open Source universal debloater and Windows 10 and 11 PC manager.

License: Open Source

Whats new:>>

The Assist me feature down in the bottom right corner just got a major upgrade, now rolling with the code name Stargate . This handy helper walks you through customizing and debloating your Windows 10/11 system in just 4 simple steps. Additionally, the Stargate Assist has been optimized for debloating Legion GO and RogAlly devices.

Whats new:>>

For all interested parties and those making the switch from Bloatynosy, here's a fresh UI option. It's designed with a classic feel, structured like an assistant akin to the old Bloatynosy app. The AI stuff takes a backseat here, focusing on the core task: debloating and customizing the system in 3-4 steps.

Whats new:>>

    Under-the-hood changes:

    Optimized and generally faster startup
    Optimized high DPI scaling (for handhelds like Legion GO, Rog Ally) You can zoom in and out within the app by holding Ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel
    Migration of some older Bloatynosy functions and features

Changelog

This was meant to be primarily a hotfix, addressing a critical bug that could prevent the offering of Assisted/AI features on some systems. However, the build was already ready, so we're jumping straight to version 3.5

    Winpilot now takes no autonomous actions and leaves nothing to chance. Especially, the debloater "Decrapify" will now only assist, and the bloatware database will be "statically/community" maintained.
    UI has been significantly refreshed under the current codename Stargate. You can either use the step-by-step assistant or switch between plugins via the "Pilot" button.
    Deeper integration of Clippy into Winpilot, which now observes every step and reports status.
    The Copilotless plugin has been integrated into CoTweaker. You can now directly search for, disable, or re-enable Microsoft Copilot/AI features from there.
    The Debloating Plugin "Decrapify" now offers a bulletin board declaring "Bloatware for deletion" as recommended. These include numerous inbox apps from Microsoft and all other sponsored and pre-installed apps from various OEMs.
    Numerous bug fixes #178 #160 #181 #183 #184 #186 Thanks @LyndonGingerich

Changelog

The old WinModder extension from Bloatynosy is coming back in a tougher version . I've decided to name this Winpilot plugin PimpApp (again). Maybe some of you still remember the name. Back in the day, about a year before Windows 11 dropped, back in late 2020, I released my first app based on the Net Ecosystem under this name, stirring up some serious debate among the user base. Some hated the name, others vibed with it - you know how it goes. PimpApp used to tweak and slim down systems with pre-made community templates. And now, I'm gifting that same functionality to Winpilot. Think of it as extensions offering advanced debloating. Originally, this menu should have been called WinModder, but for my own anniversary, I'm having a little fun and letting it run under PimpApp (Extensions) . It's now a menu item in Winpilot! Everything else about Winpilot and its name stays unchanged, though.

I had to allow myself the fun and then Google it afterwards. Believe it or not, It turns out, that PimpApp still exists in the archives on Deskmodder . What can I say,I was young and broke, just like Elon and Bill?

I've reoptimized all scripts/extensions for the PimpApp Plugin in Winpilot. Here's a quick rundown of the RestoreInboxApps script, handy for those times when you've uninstalled too much and want to go back.

Other Issues addressed in this release

    Refreshed Clippy and Winpilot's user interface
    Optimized the web core
    Improved update search functionality
    Fixed numerous minor internal bug fixes

Changelog

    The privacy, system, and gaming plugin "CoTweaker" now automatically detects the configured system settings. Custom settings only need to be toggled on/off with the ToggleSwitch. Modified settings are logged in the Clippy Bubble
    The CoTweaker plugin now offers enhanced support for gaming handhelds like the Lenovo Legion GO and Rog Ally
    The UI has been refreshed once again to better align with the design language of Windows 11. For example, the containers are now flat, with the Back button placed in the upper left corner and the Next button in the lower one
    The versioning schema has been changed from Semantic (SemVer) to a date-based versioning (CalVer) scheme. This is to better indicate the number of releases in a month. `The format is as follows: Year, Month, and Incremental Version: YYYY.MM.MINOR Example: 2024.4.7 (for the seventh release in April 2024)
    The current view or even the entire app can be refreshed with a single press of the ESC key on the keyboard, handy when you're, say, in the Copilot view
    With the upcoming release, I've made some big changes. I've cleaned out a lot of the old clutter and separated out many of those smart "AI" functions from the code. This means the community can now easily join in and contribute to the project. There were quite a few unnecessary features and pilot functions still hanging around in the code, and it took longer than expected to tidy things up. So the project will be completely open-source like Bloatynosy/AI

Changelog

Extensive code refactoring has eliminated remnants of classic Bloatynosy/AI and old "AI" functions.

A new link Join the code has been added to the UI where you're welcome to contribute to improving the project , whether it's enhancing the web core and UI with Javascript/html, css or the C# backend.

Also, take note of the extensive optimizations made in yesterday's release 2024.4.7 and the adjustment of the versioning scheme .

Whats new:>>

Here's a sneak peek at a potential new UI for Winpilot. I've split the layout into two sections: On the left, we have SuperClippy, and on the right, the Winpilot Workspace. This setup makes working with the interface more efficient and productive. We can send actions to Clippy on the left while simultaneously working with individual system plugins on the right. Feel free to share your thoughts and feedback on the new UI.

This UI also brings support for a dark mode. For now, this can only be activated via the attached UI_dark. To do this, simply download the asset and copy it into the app directory of Winpilot.
