Windows Service Pack Blocker Kit

[BBran]

Hello,

I understand there is a Windows Service Pack Blocker Kit available to block
SP3 but I do not know where to get it, does anyone else?

You don't need the blocker. Just open Automatic Update and select Option #3
(Notify Only). When SP3 is offered, declined to download it.

If you choose to install the blocking tool anyway:

This script will block SP3.

I use option 1 to download but ask me when to install because that is most
convenient for all other updates.

 

[BBran]

The file already downloaded I just have to keep rejecting the installation.
Is it possible to delete the downloaded file or even to find where it is to
delete?

 

[PA Bear [MS MVP]]

The Notify Only option is similar, except that you must approve downloads,
too.

Yes, but tell me this first: Can you successfully uncheck and "hide" it?

 

[BBran]

As far as I can tell that option is not available like it is on all their
other updates.

 

[PA Bear [MS MVP]]

Look again, please. I've heard conflicting reports.

If you go to Windows Update website, select CUSTOM and scan, can you hide
it?
