Good morning,


I am currently testing fix-disable-windows-update
Because I am not alone in the team and IT service companies can intervene on our domain, I prefer to rebuild it explicitly in GPO so that it is usable by everyone.
We had a GPO that configured Windows Update. Although it's disabled, I have the impression that the GPO settings that have already been deployed to the workstations are interfering with WAPTua

I am opening this thread so that the work can be reused by other administrators of Windows systems using an Active Directory.

To begin, I've noticed that uninstalling doesn't restore all the registry keys modified during installation. I assume that what is restored is what's essential.

Services
I identified 4 services to disable
  • dosvc: Delivery Optimization => GPO / Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Delivery Optimization
  • waasmedicsvc: Windows Update Medic Service => GPO / Location not found
  • unosvc: Orchestrator Service for updates => GPO / Location not found
  • uhssvc: Microsoft Update Health Service => GPO / Location not found
Upon uninstallation of the package, the following services are reactivated. "Microsoft Update Health Service" is missing and will not be automatically reactivated
  • dosvc: Delivery optimization
  • waasmedicsvc: Windows Update Medic Service
  • unosvc: Orchestrator Service for updates
Before going any further.
Why is uhssvc not reactivated?
Regarding the three locations not found in GPO, do you know if they exist or should I plan to modify registry keys?
