No, not legal, that's for sure.
Yes, it is fun watching you work so hard for a non-issue as people have tried to explain to you. But alas you refuse to listen to those that know the difference between X86 and AMD64 and what it really means. Definitely not what you mistakenly believe.
Oh well. Enjoy your hunt.
LostInLiesAndDrama . Please find me an article and tech note that states equivocally that AMD64 binary code will run on an Intel x64 based PC?
Personally I believe in January this year a decision was taken to not support Intel and only support AMD? This is why so many people are experiencing real hardship and loss of working hours from this tortuous code **WSUS:**wuauserv.
I really do not understand why Jillses in Reading would inform me that it is correct and reasonable to send this same identical insertion of files to every computer connected to the Internet knowing that at least some of the recipients would experience failures from trying to install it as it was not cherry picked for their computer but dumped / inserted on mass there.
Could you tell me how munch storage this is wasting on the total number of computers connected to the net considering every users connected to the web is loosing 0.5 Gigabyte? 328 million devices being connected to the internet each month. src: https://propertyupdate.com.au/many-devices-connected-internet-infographic/ Then according to this data in one month 164 Million Gigabtye of storage is being exploited for this misadventure?
If this is optional to install these files and cause these problems of a 16 hour install and a 16 hour uninstall what is the pony of this idiocy? Then why is Microsoft popping up windows which you cant exit enforcing you to update and take this path which will render your hardware non usable for the near future?
You seem to be following this so as you think people from this organization are correct and have more experience than myself. If this is all correct as you believe all this from Microsoft Employees, then why can this service not be terminated with a Microsoft technote procedure : SC DELETE “ServiceName” binPath= “C:\Program Files (x86)\XXX\ServiceName.exe -c Service.config” or by simply executing SC Delete wuauserv. This is after all a standard Microsoft Instruction run in an Admin shell. You will note It was confirmed with Cril Y that this was correct to delete and remove any service. It follows then that this service is different than any other service Do you not ask yourself why?
