Solved Batch file for auto pause Windows Update on boot

Hello all

i try to create bat file and i use task scheduler to set auto suspend/pause status windows UPDATE only (store and defender def update from defender update still working).

but it's look something wrong that i can find the problem.

anyone here can help me how to make it work?

my primary goal are:

Everytime Laptop Reboot or first logon the script will run and pause windows update +7 days from the date that the script run




thankyou

Have you tried manually changing those Registry Keys to find out if they have the expected effect?

Sometimes a change made through the user interface might change a Registry Key but the same change made directly in the Registry Key
- Might not be shown in the user interface,
- Might not have the expected effect,
- Might have the expected effect and be shown in the user interface.,
- Might have the expected effect even though it is not shown in the user interface.
The only way to find out is to try it.


All the best,
Denis

it work if i changed it manually,

basically I took the added points when I pressed the suspend button for 1 week from the windows panel and I exported it. then i test via .reg file. and it works. but it doesn't work well when I want to put it in a batch file with the aim that every login then a suspend update will occur

This batch script makes a few wrong assumptions. Every month doesn't have the same days (31), and you forgot about leap years.

1. Using "date /t" can fail if someone has a different MM-DD or DD-MM date format. "wmic os get LocalDateTime" will always return the date in the same format, no matter what is your local date setting.

2. The correct way to do future (or past) dates is to convert to Julian format (based on absolute calendar days), add 7 days, and convert back to calendar date. I found a Stack Overflow answer which has the equations in BATCH.

3. This is much easier in another scripting language like PowerShell or VBScript, which have date functions.

With all the hate and discontent that MS updates cause, and have for decades, why don't you just shut OFF updates?
Life would be so much simpler! When you get a bad update that takes down your computer, you'll wish you'd listened to me.

As a working PC tech, in my own business, I've taken many service calls on PC's that were totally disabled by an MS update.
I just won't allow them on any PC of mine (12), and I never have a problem from a BAD update.

Good luck,
TM

i use some APP that need ms store update. and i still use defender.... i can disable 100% winupdate/store/remove defender completly but i still use ms store and i trust to use defender.

i wont let security update from windows update because i think sometimes ms put some "tricky script on it to make lagging or else) (i hope im wrong) ( iwas 100% fanatic lightweight AV like panda,comodo,kav... but defender better )

and i will update windows if i think the update will work find with my unsupported w11 laptop (test on VHD boot not for daily.. after some weeks. i will update the real OS). ( i will backup with macrium first) at least threads and handles will decreased without broken the system ^_^

so when i get "deadly update" i can restore with easy way....
