Windows Update MiniTool 20.12.2016

Microsoft has been good about supporting their newest operating systems with updates, but there's only one problem. They actively force you to update when the time comes. This looks great on paper - everybody receives available bug fixes, patches, or enhancements on time. However, these updates take an insane amount of time, and Microsoft's quality assurance team may let a few new bugs slip through the crack. Should you fall into either of those categories, you'd want to have the ability to choose when to install them and Windows Update Minitool helps you do that.

There is no installation process for Windows Update Minitool - just boot the exe up and you're ready to go. All you need to do is make sure you boot up the correct bit version for yourself. You can take advantage of its portability by storing it onto USBs. It doesn't leave any entries in the registry so you can safely delete it.

The interface is clean and simple, making it easy to use by novices and veterans alike. The main window is divided into two panes - configuration and actually viewing updates. You can look at the latest Windows Updates, installed items, hidden patches, as well as update history. You can choose which updates to install easily, and it directly links you to the official download page of each of these updates. You can also hide unwanted updates when you know for a fact that the patch is buggy. Overall, Windows Update Minitool is incredibly useful.
