Based on this discussion, updates in group policy are now disabled, which has been helpful recently. However, I encountered the warning message about available updates again. I’m checking if I can also silence these notifications within the Group Policy Editor. I’ve noticed the settings there can be confusing or misleading, so I want to make sure it works. Also, I used SU10 for notifications previously, but it’s a hassle because it needs a restart and changes can be lost. The version I’m using is Windows 10 Pro 1809.
it doesn't really. true happiness comes from Microsoft taking responsibility and rolling out genuine standalone security updates again, just like they did in the past (even for Windows 10). I can't upgrade beyond version 1809 because it causes my gaming PC and laptop to slow down significantly—slow, unresponsive, and frustrating. I've tested it multiple times. The main issues are constant frame drops, apps barely running, frequent errors, and a noticeable drop in performance, around 20 frames per second lost in games. Honestly, if you say otherwise, updating isn't worth it. What's the point of having a secure system that's unusable? I've given up trying to patch it myself—it's nearly impossible, and it's not my responsibility. That's the job of whoever keeps pushing unstable and broken updates. (The years 1703–1803 weren't great either, especially with Ryzen support.)
The situation you're describing seems quite unusual. It appears there might be some confusion or a misunderstanding regarding the files and their functions. The WaaSMedicSvc.dll is likely related to medical services within the software, but renaming it doesn't seem to resolve the underlying issue. It's possible that the update service was accidentally disabled, which could affect how updates are handled. Please verify the current status of the update service and consult the documentation for further guidance.
I see your point... I noticed the same thing in SU10—Windows keeps restarting "auto updates 2." It might be the system's way of fixing itself, but I'm holding off on updates right now because they're making my PC almost unplayable. It would be better to try anyway, and I have several full backups of the OS drive just in case things go wrong. Still, I'm not sure how long it'll stay stable, but I get why you'd want help—any advice is welcome. I'm a bit confused about all these technical terms like "task scheduler" and "update orchestrator," but I guess I should just follow the guide if I can. It's frustrating to think Microsoft might be trying too hard to damage my machine, maybe even breaking the law.
