I hope this is the place to ask questions!

Thanks for the utility. I do have a few questions I'd like answered before I test this. Looks good, btw!

1. I have Win 10 Pro set to notify and it does. Once it does, I go to show/hide before opening the Update Options page, review what it shows and hide appropriately. Then install the ones I choose the next day when I am notified again.

Can I continue that, BUT instead of going to show/hide go to WUMgr when I get an Action Center notification to see what is presented and hide or install from there? In other words, without changing group policy or any other current setting, etc?

2. Will the updates I have previously hidden from show/hide appear as hidden in WUMgr?

3. What is "Register Microsoft Update"?

4. Is there a reason "always run as administrator" is an option? Is that in case there are non-admin users on the computer?

5. I assume this will not run on startup if "run in the background" is not selected.

I can answer some of these questions.

Ans for Q2 - yes

Ans for Q3 - the Register Microsoft Update option will allow updates to other installed Microsoft software besides Windows (ex. MS Office, Visual Studio, etc.)

Ans for Q5 - yes it won't run on startup
