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

I found this post on https://www.redmondpie.com/disable-turn-off-automatic-updates-in-windows-10-heres-how/comment-page-2/

I have not included the preamble but this seems to disable Microsoft Update if you follow it do it at your own risk . I am doing it to see what it will do and will report back if it works

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.

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.
12. Upon rebooting, go back to CONTROL PANEL / ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS / SERVICES ..... Scroll down to Windows Update and verify current status is still DISABLED.

"Close all open windows and breath a satisfactory "Hell Yeah !" You now have full control of the Windows Update Utility and can now toggle the service back on / off anytime you wish to check for updates or disable the service."

"This morning things are looking better . The updates seems to have stopped and the services have remained set under my admin control. The internet and machines are all faster without this malware."

The problem your explaining is not about the intel to amd update itself rather that the update wont proceed to install, configure and return to desktop.

Reason for this could be as followed:

1. Already have the update but Microsoft is still pushing out the same update everyday (Just ignore it until it goes away).
2. Previous Windows 10 update was not applied  "(Check which previous update was need and apply it).
3. Activation of account has not been applied (need to fix your account to activate the version of windows)
4. Incorrect software driver in the update it self is not installing due to being blocked by Windows defender folder protection or tamper protection and or the anti-virus software your running. (Turn these off).
5. Device like ram need to be re seated.
6. Drivers for other devices are out of date
7. Adobe products are not up to date
8. Game like Swtor need updating
9. Third party graphic software need updating
10. System corruption caused by back update use (Windows update trouble shooter to see if that correct it.)
11. Clean install is need.

Other than that the update is in the correct format and is what its intend to be for both systems intel and amd.

Never stop windows service or disable it for the sake of stopping Windows update it corrupt the other services and module install.

The Windows update does not appear to be the problem as I applied that update long ago and it work perfectly.

You must be a Microsoft employee? Quite frankly I am disgusted as you are aware that I have not received proper updates since January 2019 . Why would you be sending all these computers the same rubbish. to every computer connected to the internet . your comments are pointless and there are many MIcrosoft customers having probe,ems with these updates who demand Microsoft Act.

If you are as fed up as me with these non working malware updates follow this simple procedure . Please do so at your own risk and ensure you have a good Anti Virus Program and a Firewall. Personally I like and trust Norton:
