Remove "Browser Choice" update via Group Policy

Hello

Normally you can do that with WSUS (it is a MS update so if you know the kb number you can block it).
The WSUS is easy to install and to configure (with GPO).

You can push your registry settings with computer based GPO's to all clients

Dan,

Thanks for the info but its alot to setup just for one update?

Merowinger,

Do you have more details on those GPO's?

My GPO skill set is nothing to write home about!

aaah yes, i started with the logon script option and created a VBS that worked, however they are currently set to use a logon batch file so i can add the line in there?

My only concern with a logon script would be permissions....they are not local admins so would that let them add this to the reg via that logon script?

Its no user logon script. It's a computer startup script. Please check again the path here:
Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts -> Startup
A computer startup is running with computer credentials which can configure these registry settings.

Batch or VBScript does not make any difference in this case

Well it look's like a lot of work, but you only need to find a server that can support the WSUS ( not very busy and with 20Gb of free space), install the product, then create a GPO. That will give you in return a status of SP and KB deployement for yours clients. That also will reduce the internet trafic for your network (all KB ands SP will be downloaded once), allows you to select if you want to deploy or not an KB, etc.

remove / disable kb976002 Browser Choice application
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25201853/remove-disable-kb976002-Browser-Choice-application.html

All that was needed in the above siilar thread was to stop it from running... Dont think it CAN be uninstalled.....

In a logon script......

reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "BrowserChoice" /f

Should work fine for limited users...

I used a GPO to push out a batch to edit the reg on boot.

Setting the "Enable" key value to 0.

Good advice!
