Windows 10 Privacy Concerns
phitsc:
That looks very interesting. Can you also list (or remove) unwanted updates which have already been installed?-phitsc (September 09, 2015, 05:26 AM)

That's what the script I wrote up here does, although it just goes ahead and uninstalls them, (or at least tries).
But I was thinking of combining it with this one since it can use the same list of unwanted KBs.

You're welcome, nearly finished the next version - you can see what the output looks like above.
Just a couple of typos to murder and work out why global variables don't seem to be :huh:

Microsoft has confirmed that it has been downloading the entire Windows 10 upgrade to anyone who has automatic updates turned on, whether or not they have indicated they have requested the upgrade
"For individuals who have chosen to receive automatic updates through Windows Update, we help upgradable devices get ready for Windows 10 by downloading the files they’ll need if they decide to upgrade. When the upgrade is ready, the customer will be prompted to install Windows 10 on the device.”

That's about 3GB of files surreptitiously downloaded under the guise of updating your current OS.

Does any one know of comprehensive documentation regarding the specifics of all (or nearly all?) MS KB updates?
Apart from looking around at various articles, posts, am currently constructing URLs of the form:

* The Windows Update Powershell Module installed.-4wd (September 01, 2015, 01:14 AM)

In another thread I started looking at a PowerShell program that loads related files relative to the invoked script file.
Do you think the terms of the Module mentioned above would allow bundling?
FWIW, the program I was looking at was Scoop -- there appears to be a PowerShell 2 compatible version at:
https://github.com/deevus/scoop-powershell2
The following seems to be some code that arranges for the aforementioned loading of code relative to the invoked script:
