Here's the trick :
- In the Window's path (type set path in a prompt window), create a command file "wud.cmd" (wud like Windows UpDate but you can choose any other name) containing the following code:
@echo off
rem script to activate/desactivate WUpdate services
if "%1"=="" (
echo Security Center service activation :
sc config wscsvc start= demand
sc start wscsvc
echo Windows' modules Installation Program service activation :
sc config TrustedInstaller start= demand
sc start TrustedInstaller
echo Windows Update service activation
sc config wuauserv start= demand
sc start wuauserv
call :verif
call :verif
) else (
echo Windows Update service desactivation
sc stop wuauserv
echo Windows' module's installation Program desactivation
sc stop TrustedInstaller
echo Security center service desactivation
sc stop wscsvc
call :verif
call :verif
sc config wuauserv start= disabled
sc config TrustedInstaller start= disabled
sc config wscsvc start= disabled
)
pause
goto :eof
:verif
timeout /T 10
sc query wuauserv
sc query TrustedInstaller
sc query wscsvc
goto :eof
Here it is !
- Now you just need to open a command prompt window as administrator and to type:
wud d
(d like disable)
And it's good! The concerned services are disabled and let you easy.
- Then, every month, in a command prompt as administrator, type "wud" without any argument. This reactivates Windows Update service, and allows you to make updates. If necessary, schedule a task to remind you.
What a relief, I was also wondering how to get out but this little trick is enough and tested OK !
