Win10 Home Version 2017 Updates

[Dietmar]

Hi,

is it possible, to forbid Microsoft to update my win10 Home version from 2017 to a newer version?

I mean, I want to get other updates.

But I dont want, that my Win10 home 2017 version is updated, because it crashes my Asrock z370 k6 fatalty compi

Hi,

I try to install fresh from my 200 Euro expensive original win10 Home version 1703 from March 2017,

on my Asrock z370 k6 fatal1ty board.

Crazy, install stops, because this original USB stick from Microsoft shows unreadable sectors.

And it is write protected, so no chance for any repair. Nice from Microsoft.

 

Ok, after crazy search for this 1703 german version of this win10,

I find

15063.0.170710-1358.rs2_release_svc_refresh_clientcombined_ret_x64fre_de-de_d6cd31298648aab2ff081004ceff2ffceb7aab64.esd

on Microsoft Servers. There is also a 32 bit version of this 1703 version in german

15063.0.170710-1358.rs2_release_svc_refresh_clientcombined_ret_x86fre_de-de_52c33a275f77116954abe5f508d1254a49f5fe20.esd

 

Then I build from it via this tool an *.iso for 64 bit.

esd-decrypter-wimlib-63

From this  I get the *.iso

15063.0.170710-1358.RS2_RELEASE_SVC_REFRESH_CLIENTCOMBINED_OEMRET_X64FRE_DE-DE.ISO

I make an bootable USB stick, using Rufus.

And voila, there installs win10 home 1703 without any problems.

At once I click on the nice file from @mjd79

wushowhide.diagcab

and can select there, not to install win 10 22H2.

And now, all my problems with crazy Updates for my compi are gone.

Very interesting to know, how many millions of hours are gone thanks to Microsoft on this crazy crazy stupid Update behavior.

For example, now all devices in Device Manager are correct installed.

And the Update offers me also the Nvidia driver for my Nvidia 730, which was not shown in the "last" win10 version

I have a question. You mean you wanted to keep the 2017 version but download updates for that version ? You said you managed to do it. You mean you can get all the updates while keeping that version ?

He means he wants to receive normal Windows updates (security and non-security updates), except feature updates. Also, yes, he did it actually, as the tool from @mjd79's post above helped in preventing Dietmar's device from receiving latest feature update (which updates to 22H2, the latest version at the moment) by just hiding it.

I didn't know you could stay forever on an older version of windows 10 while still getting security updates. I wonder if that could bring stability issues in the long run.

KB5000812 is the final security update for 1703 on Surface Hub, and MS released it on March 9, 2021. But you still can get other updates from WU.
