Updated

WU client (WU Agent) got updated only 2 times since the release of SP1

but this year and for the seek of Windows10, it's now had around 7 updates and counting

 

bottom line, any future WU client update should be treated as Windows10 related, without any investigation needed

because even if the update itself doesn't have any fix to the upgrade process, it already contain all the previous updates code which are designed for upgrading to Windows10

If you mean the security update KB3083186, i'm not planning to add it and redo the addon
you may install it separately for now

Yes

Updated to .NET 4.6

from now on, only regular (slim) addon, because netfx_Full.mzz is an excess space size (on disk and on my upload speed)
and like i said, setup can download the file (in compressed size) when needed for repair

Windows 10 is making MS crazy

Yes, KB3067505 is completely superseded by KB3057154

The script require working internet connection

Thanks

unfortunately, i get Error on Update Cleanup after Scan

 

Edit:

it caused by a pending update, all good after restart

Found something really cool, especially for Windows 7 that lacks the "ResetBase".

I gained back 2,5 GB from a fresh install with it.

For me it just removes \Backup and \ManifestCache contents  :g: 

 

----

the best experience W7's winsxs is to keep the higher version component + RTM version (6.1.7600.16385 and 6.1.7601.17514)

and remove the inbetween

Hotfix rollups are not offered through WU, they are found using there KB articles

and those rollups are cumularive updates, meaning they already contain and supersede earlier updates and some "not yet published" security updates

 

 

as for KB3063911, it is the name that appear when you check installed programs

but the rollup is released under KB3064711

Updated

 

however, i didn't have the time to test and verify it

;1[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"NavPaneShowAllFolders"=dword:00000001;2[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"HideDrivesWithNoMedia"=dword:00000000;3[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]"FullPath"=dword:00000001"Settings"=hex:0C,00,02,00,0B,01,00,00,60,00,00,00

as for 4, there is no generic or simple setting

each folder type has different values, each view type has different values as well

Data base for all updates released through WU

 

i don't there is an easy way to read its conents, it's really messy

KB3068708 still in Download Center

 

Edit:  Both are back on, same version

Yes, despite the supersedence, WU still asks for KB2533552 (as SP1 KB976932)

 

i was only refering to the condition of the update itself

 

amd we already know and experienced that WU request superseded updates sometimes

After windows installed in VMware, I check "Installed updates" and I couldn't find KB2533552 .....I tried to install this update manually and it says "The update is not applicable to your computer" , weird?

No, it's not weird

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3057448

"The update is not applicable to your computer" error when you install Windows updates

Cause number 1: Update is superseded

KB3020369 fully and directly supersede KB2533552

thus, if KB3020369 is installed, KB2533552 cann't be installed using the .msu file

the workaround (that even WU use) is to use the inside .cab file to integrate the update online by dism tool:

dism /online /add-package:Windows6.1-KB2533552-x64.cab

I think he means:
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb

Yes, possible

 

but not tested, so i don't guarantee it works

Did you use latest addon? both updates should not be shown if so

 

msp are like msi, cann't be integrated offline

BTW, KB3022345 had been killed and not available for download

Or you can add registry value to disable it

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx]"DisableGwx"=dword:00000001

via admin cmd:

reg add HKLM\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx /v DisableGwx /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Actually, the two updates are indeed an MSP files and should accept converting from exe to msp

I really don't know what it depends on, but it's more related to the serviced image not the Host OS

i guess on the size of updates and how many are already in the image, how many is pending

but in my experience, after +100 update or so, the dism command will be become slower and slower in adding the packages

 

the command is the same for dism /add-package, each update need its /packagepath: parameter

 

of course using this grouping will recuire some batch scripting

and using the inner .cab files is much better and faster in integrating

 

the main script that i learned that concept from is Installer For Windows Updates V28 by Burf

however it's intended for Online operation and contains various checks

there is a reduced version i modded without most checks and for offline integrating: InstallerV27z.zip

Integrating updates one by one will always take more time than grouping updates in one dism session

of course not all updates, each session can handle 120 ~ 150 update
