Why is Microsoft providing wrong codebase updates for an Intel based cpu machine running Microsoft Windows Professional 10 and acting like a virus?

To Disable Updates in Windows Pro 10

Navigate to Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update. Double Click to enter. This will bring up the Group Policy for Windows Update .

To Disable Updates Windows 10

I am posting this in case you do not have group policy of Windows Professional

*** Note : You must be logged in with an administrator level account.

1. Start by selecting COMPUTER / LOCAL DISK (C:) / WINDOWS / SYSTEM32
2. Scroll down and RIGHT CLICK on WindowsUpdateElevatedInstaller.exe and select PROPERTIES.
3. Select the SECURITY tab and click the ADVANCED button. Click CHANGE on second line next to Owner.
4. In the Object Name Box, type in the USER NAME of your Administrator Account and the click on the CHECK NAMES button. The FULL Admin Account Name should now appear in the box. Highlight the Admin Name and click OK.
5. The OWNER should now be your Admin Account. Close this box and then immediately re-open. In the list box below, double click and select ALLOW ADMINISTRATORS ( your admin account ) and check ALL available permission boxes. Click on OK. Re-highlight ALLOW ADMINISTRATORS in the list box and click on APPLY. Next click OK and OK a second time to return to the SYSTEM32 File List.
6. Right click on WinUpdateElevatedInstaller.exe and select RENAME. Remove the highlight and move cursor to last character before .exe and add an X to the end of the file name. ( ie... WindowsUpdateElevatedInstallerx.exe )
7. Next, scroll down the SYSTEM32 File List to WUAPI.DLL and repeat steps 2 through 6.
8. Scroll to WUAPIHOST.EXE and repeat steps 2 through 6 again.
9. Scroll to WUAUCLT.EXE and once again, repeat steps 2 through 6.
10. Scroll to WUSVR.DLL and once again, repeat steps 2 through 6
11. Scroll to WaaSMedicSvc.dll and once again, repeat steps 2 through 5 ( See Note)
12. Close all open windows and return to desktop.
13. Finally - Select CONTROL PANEL / ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS / SERVICES ..... and RIGHT CLICK on WINDOWS UPDATE. Select STOP and then select PROPERTIES. In the center of the box, select the drop down arrow at the right of the STARTUP TYPE text box and select DISABLED. Hit OK and close all windows to return to desktop. Select START / SHUTDOWN / RESTART and re-boot your computer.
14. Upon rebooting, go back to CONTROL PANEL / ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS / SERVICES ..... Scroll down to Windows Update and verify current status is still DISABLED.

This should give you back control as it follows the other procedure. 

Note:You should be aware this puts a failed to load message in services as WaaSMedicSvc.dll does not like to be took control of as a result it will not let Service Host Local Service Network Restricted run and fails to load for my purposes this is ok**.**

If you have taken ownership of any of these items and want to restore them . Just change the ownership back to NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller for each DLL and EXE you changed as below and remove the X in the filenames:

Right mouse button click on the file and choose Properties.

1. Click Security tab.
2. Click Advanced button.
3. Click Owner tab.
4. Click Edit button.
5. Click Other User or Group and type in NT SERVICE*TrustedInstaller*.
6. Press Ok on all dialogs until all property dialogs are closed.

I think you might have cracked it Pat  with the CryptoTool disable and the windows\system32\catroot2 folder deletion  inside safemode with the SoftwareDistribution folder contents deleted too  followed by Crypto enable we will have to wait and see fingers crossed. Office still runs so . My insider updates needs attention so if I don't give it any its not going to update yay

Hi Max

Don't worry about that being labelled AMD64, that update is still applicable to your PC

AMD invented and owns the 64bit architecture, so even if your system is Intel based, as long as it is 64bit, that update will be applicable . . .

Click the link below, then click 'Update Now' on that page to immediately get 1809 and bring your PC right up to date

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

If the above link does not result in a successful installation, with these major upgrades, the most successful method is to upgrade from the Windows 10 ISO - you download the ISO and then perform an Offline Upgrade

Click this link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

Then, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe to begin the upgrade by choosing 'Upgrade' not install . . .

Here is what it is

Hello Max,
