KillUpdate is a tiny utility that prevents Windows 10 from updating at the most inappropriate moments and that allows you to tackle this issue whenever is most convenient for you.

Whats new:>>


    Added more logs to the timer callback. This significantly increases the size of the log file (x7).
    Handle the case of a system call returning null (although it should never do that).
    Changed the timer to run every 15 seconds instead of 10s, to know if a crash depends on the number of callbacks executed.
    The program no longer maintains a key to the registry, but renews the key every callback.

Microsoft hat drei Upgrade-Blockaden für das Windows 10 Mai 2019 Update beseitigt, allerdings auch zwei neue Bugs als "known issues" bekanntgegeben.

Microsoft dokumentiert seit einiger Zeit auf einer Statusseite die bekannten Probleme ("known issues"), die das Upgrade auf neue Windows-10-Versionen verhindern.

Auch für das Windows 10 Mai 2019 Update (Version 1903) sind die betreffenden Informationen aus einer von Microsoft eigens eingerichteten Übersicht abrufbar. Zum 11. Juli 2019 kennzeichnete das Unternehmen drei der dort aufgelisteten "Upgrade-Blocker" als beseitigt ("resolved"). Zugleich musste es aber auch zwei neue Bugs einräumen.

Einer der Gründe für Microsofts "Transparenz-Offensive" bezüglich bestehender Bugs dürfte die verunglückte Freigabe des Windows 10 Oktober 2018 Update (Version 1809) sein. Die ursprünglich Anfang Oktober 2018 veröffentlichte Version musste wegen Fehlern zurückgezogen werden. Nach dem erneuten Start Mitte November 2018 war Microsoft bis zum Jahresende damit beschäftigt, die dicksten Fehler und Upgrade-Blockaden aus dieser Windows-Build auszumerzen.

Changelog

    Japanese IME Improvements:

    Thank you everyone who’s shared feedback so far about the new Japanese IME. The development team has been working on improving the quality based on your feedback. Here are some improvements that you can try out in this build:

    Prediction Candidate window key navigation: We fixed an issue where the focus inside prediction candidate window wouldn’t move when using the Up Arrow key.
    Key customization: We’ve improved the discoverability of key assignment settings. Also, based on feedback, we’ve updated the default assigned value of Ctrl + Space to be “None”. Ctrl + Space can still be used for toggling IME-on/off by changing the value through its setting.
    Showing the improved key assignment settings in the Key & touch customization on the Japanese IME settings.
    Please don’t hesitate to continue sharing your thoughts with us about typing in Windows – our ears are open and we’d love to hear from you.

    Other Updates for Insiders:

    Snip & Sketch improvements headed your way
    Thanks everyone who’s shared feedback so far for our updated snipping experience! We really appreciate it and are starting to roll out some more improvements based on what you’ve told us:
    Single window mode: Do you tend to retake snips multiple times in order to get the perfect screenshot? We’re updating the New button to now open new snips in your current app window, so you don’t end up with a ton of open snips (that you then need to close.) If you’d rather keep all snips open in separate windows. the option is now a toggle in settings, so you can decide which mode you prefer.
    Showing the setting where you can choose whether or not to open snips in separate windows.
    Zoom: Need we say more? You can now zoom in on your screenshots if they’re a bit too small for you to annotate on (and yes, CTRL+Plus, CTRL+Minus and Ctrl+Mouse wheel are supported!). We’ll also zoom out to make sure the whole snip fits in the Snip & Sketch window. If you want to see the snip at its original size, click the Zoom button and then “Actual Size”.

    Showing the new Zoom options in action:

    Improving WIN+Shift+S discoverability: You mentioned you loved learning about using WIN+Shift+S to take new snips any time and we thought others would too! If you haven’t taken a snip yet, we’ll now use the canvas space in Snip & Sketch to help you learn how to start a snip without needing to open the app first.
    These changes are currently available for a portion of Insiders in the Fast ring as we evaluate the quality before continuing the rollout. Note the rollout for each change mentioned above is being handled separately, with separate random populations in the initial rollout, so seeing one of the changes with app version 10.1907.2064.0 doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll see all three.
    General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC
    Insiders may notice some references to “Cloud download” relating to PC reset or refresh. This feature isn’t available and working quite yet. We’ll let you know once it is, so you can try it out!
    We fixed an issue where ctfmon.exe might crash if clicking the input mode indicator in the taskbar to switch the Japanese IME between modes.
    We fixed an issue where pasting from clipboard history (WIN+V) wouldn’t work when using the Bopomofo IME.
    We fixed an issue resulting in hanja conversion not working for the updated Korean IME when typing in certain apps.
    We fixed an issue that could result in the OneNote app intermittently acting as if the Ctrl key was pressed when it wasn’t.

    Windows Insider Webcast is back on August 1:

    The Windows Insider webcast is back tomorrow, August 1! We’ll have guests from the FX Amplify team joining us for a conversation and Q&A on their efforts. Local Seattle-area Insiders are also invited to join us in-person at the Microsoft Store in Bellevue.

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."

Changelog

    Introducing a new tablet experience for 2-in-1 convertible PCs:
    We are beginning to roll out a new tablet experience for 2-in-1 convertible PCs as a Beta to Windows Insiders. This new experience allows users entering tablet posture to stay in the familiar desktop experience without interruption, plus a few key touch improvements:
    Increased spacing between Taskbar icons.
    Search box on taskbar collapsed into an icon.
    File Explorer switches to touch optimized layout.
    Touch keyboard auto invokes when you tap text fields.
    As part of this, we’ve also made a few small changes to the tablet section in Settings.
    This experience is currently available for a portion of Insiders as we evaluate the quality. Here are the steps once it becomes available on your PC:
    Use your convertible PC as a laptop as you normally would–opening apps and interacting with them.
    When you’re ready to pick it up and go or simply lean back on the couch, you can fold back the keyboard or remove it altogether, and it should switch to this new mode shown above.
    Now use your device as a tablet with touch.
    Recovery Improvements:
    Introducing a new Reset this PC option–Cloud Download:
    Reset this PC now provides users a new choice to download Windows or use local reinstall. Previously, Reset this PC was only able to do a local reinstall and would build a new Windows installation from existing Windows files. When this feature was introduced in Windows 10 version 1507, it provided the advantage of enabling Windows to be recoverable without requiring extra disk space to store a compressed, backup copy of Windows in a hidden partition. We’ve heard feedback that some of you would prefer to use your high-speed internet connection to speed up this process by just downloading Windows.
    Important note: This is a recovery operation and will remove apps you have installed. Additionally, if the “Remove everything” option is selected, user data will also be deleted. For more information on Reset this PC and other recovery options visit aka.ms/win10recoveryoptions.
    The cloud download option will reinstall the same build, version, and edition, that is currently installed on your device. This new cloud download option is available to all Windows 10 devices and is different from the “Recover from the cloud” feature available on some earlier Windows 10 devices.
    Known issues:
    The cloud download option is not currently working when specific optional features are installed. The process will begin, but an error will occur and roll back the changes. To work around this issue, remove the optional features before trying the cloud download option. We’ll let you know once this issue has been resolved. The optional features are: EMS and SAC Toolset for Windows 10, IrDA infrared, Print Management Console, RAS Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK), RIP Listener, all RSAT tools, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Windows Fax and Scan, Windows Storage Management, Wireless Display, WMI SNMP Provider.
    Other updates for Insiders:
    Continuing the Cortana rollout:
    The new Cortana experience is now available to all Insiders in the Fast ring in the United States. If it’s available on your device and you haven’t tried it out already, we’d love to hear your feedback! We’ve posted a Quest in the Feedback Hub to help you get started.
    General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC:
    We fixed a DWM memory leak that was impacting the previous two flights.
    We fixed an issue resulting in some WSL distros not loading (Issue #4371).
    We fixed an issue impacting a small number of Insiders, involving a lsass.exe crash and resulting in a message saying, “Windows ran into a problem and needs to restart.”
    We fixed an issue resulting in WIN+(period) closing if you tried to search for an emoji when focus was set to a text field in an Electron app.
    We fixed two issues that could result in Settings crashing when interacting with options on the Search page.
    We’ve done some work to help improve the launch performance of Settings when the Settings header is visible.
    We fixed an issue resulting in some Insiders experiencing a bug check with BTHport.sys in recent flights.
    It’s important to periodically back up your data. Starting in recent Insider builds, Windows Home and Pro users without a first party backup solution will now see a friendly reminder to consider setting up a backup option that is included with Windows. If you’d prefer to turn this off, there’s an option to do so in the notification.
    We’re working on addressing feedback about the acrylic in certain surfaces not appearing immediately. In this build, it’s fixed for Start menu, the volume flyout, the network flyout, the clock & calendar flyout, and notification toasts.
    We’ve made some bug fixes and improvements to Magnifier reading capabilities.
    Improved Magnifier performance when moving the mouse around the screen.
    We resolved an issue where Control + Alt + L would not put Magnifier into Lens mode.
    No one likes bugs, so we squashed several of them related to the new text cursor indicator. Text cursor indicator now appears and disappears more reliably. We also fixed an issue where text cursor indicator preview in settings did not change size when text scaling was on.
    We have made improvements in Magnifier reliability.
    We fixed an issue where the File Explorer search suggestions weren’t being read out by Narrator.
    We fixed an issue in Narrator where it would speak “unknown” if you had the “Header Status” column enabled within Outlook as you arrowed between different email messages.
    We fixed a couple Narrator dialog reading issues. Narrator would sometimes speak “empty document” or stop the dialog reading too early.
    We fixed an issue where Narrator would not always speak the group name of a radio button on web pages.
    We fixed an issue with Narrator and Excel not speaking the column header when arrowing between cells in a table.
    We fixed an issue where Narrator would only speak “item” when navigating by table cells in an Outlook email instead of reading the entire cell’s contents.
    Narrator will now read webpages from the top of the page and not at the main landmark with a fallback to find a paragraph. Thank you for your feedback!
    Narrator now supports the aria-haspopup property.
    Improved Outlook performance and stability when reading mail messages in Outlook with Narrator.
    We have made improvements in Narrator reliability.
    We made a change to Narrator input learning, so you just have to press Narrator + 1 once to turn input learning off. Thank you for your feedback.
    We fixed an issue when a user navigated to a webpage in Edge, Narrator would read just the URL field and not the webpage.
    We fixed an issue when a user was replying to an email in Outlook, Narrator was automatically reading the message while the user was trying to type.
    Known issues:
    There has been an issue with older versions of anti-cheat software used with games where after updating to the latest 19H1 Insider Preview builds may cause PCs to experience crashes. We are working with partners on getting their software updated with a fix, and most games have released patches to prevent PCs from experiencing this issue. To minimize the chance of running into this issue, please make sure you are running the latest version of your games before attempting to update the operating system. We are also working with anti-cheat and game developers to resolve similar issues that may arise with the 20H1 Insider Preview builds and will work to minimize the likelihood of these issues in the future.
    Some Realtek SD card readers are not functioning properly. We are investigating the issue.
    We’re working on a fix for an issue resulting in the minimize, maximize, and close title bar buttons not working for certain apps. If you’re using an impacted app, Alt+F4 should work as expected to close the app if needed.
    Text on Devices pages in Settings for “Bluetooth and Other Devices” and “Printers and Scanners” isn’t rendering correctly.
    Search isn’t working for Insiders using certain display languages, including Polish. If you are impacted by this, switching your display language to English then back to your preferred display language should resolve it.
