After installing some defective Windows 10 updates, you might experience a system hang or blue screen error. If you find out your computer problem is caused by a specific update, you can configure Windows update to block it from installing, without having to turn off automatic updating. Luckily, Microsoft released a standalone troubleshooter tool which allows users to hide or block only unwanted updates in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

How To Block Specific Updates in Windows 10?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the troubleshooter tool from Microsoft’s website<\/a>. When you click on the download link, you will be prompted to open or save the wushowhide.diagcab<\/em> file (about 45.5 Kb).\n

    \"show-or-hide-updates\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. Double-click on the wushowhide.diagcab<\/em> file to launch the troubleshooter. Click Next<\/strong> to proceed.\n

    \"troubleshoot-and-help\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. The Show or Hide Updates tool will scan your system for updates.\n

    \"detecting-problems\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. Once the scan is completed, you will see the following screen. Select Hide updates<\/strong>.\n

    \"hide-updates\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. Now you can see all updates available for your system. Check the updates you would like to prevent installing, and then click Next<\/strong>.\n

    \"select-updates-for-hiding\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. It will disable the selected updates and show the information to the effect. These selected updates will not be installed on your Windows 10 PC.\n

    \"hide-updates-success\"<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If at any later time you decide to re-enable the previously disabled updates, then you have to re-launch the tool and select the “Show hidden updates<\/strong>“, select the disabled updates and proceed. These updates will now be automatically installed by Windows 10 Update once again.<\/p>\n
