How to block Windows Update to a scheduled time

Thomas GALY over 7 years ago

Hello,

I am looking for a solution to block Windows Update on a scheduled time.
Do you have any idea how to proceed?

Thank you.

Yes, you create a firewall at the top of your list that blocks/allows the MS updates at the time you permit them.

Okay, but how can the rule block MS updates? With a Web policy?
Thank you for your reply.

Hi,

You can use App Control to block ms update.

Simple build 2 Rules: one which matches at the time (top) with blocked windows update and another (anytime) with no app control rule.

Should work.
