wushowhide is a troubleshooting app from Microsoft that allows you to show or hide Windows Updates.Some people prefer or even need, to stop Windows from updating. The most popular reason is to wait to make sure large updates are stable before installing. For example, many wanted to prevent the Anniversary and Fall Creators updates from installing.Wushowhide will walk you through your Windows Update settings. An Advanced setting can be found as well. However, that just offers to apply the repairs automatically. In other words, it's designed for advanced users to decide what repairs to use.Once you advance, you can choose to either "Hide updates" or "Show hidden update." That's it. If you want to go back, there's a back arrow, but Microsoft being Microsoft, something had to be broken, and the arrow button was it. If you want to go back, you'll need to close and restart.If you're looking to disable and Windows updates, it can be a bit complicated. wushowhide might be the answer, but you need to have updates waiting to be installed. By going to the Control Panel, Update & Security (Windows Updates), Advanced Options, and choose what you need here. One choice would be to pause updates, but again, Microsoft has made it very difficult not to get Windows Updates and frankly, that's a good thing.
