Hi all
After Microsoft's reoccurring problems with their automatic updates, I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across any means to disable automatic updates, whether it be a third party tool - free would be nice. Microsoft has not done a great job and we need to do what we can UNLESS there are zero-day exploits to delay updates for a set period of time, in a controlled manner not how it is currently being done.
Anyone? Business owners have had enough, and I just haven't come across anything solid.
I think it is time to look at WSUS if I can delay UNTIL systems are tested, IE a key system that represents a build of each department. Do we have that kind of control with WSUS?
What about the small companies - 3-8 Win10, P2P no server OS.
Thanks so much guys!
Be well.
