Summary:
WuMgr (Update Manager for Windows) is a tool to manage updates of Microsoft products on the Windows operating system. It uses the "Windows Update Agent API" to identify as well as download and install missing updates. It allows the user fine control of updates on modern (Windows 10) operating system versions, comparable to what windows 7 and 8.1 offered.
This tool is inspired by the Windows Update Mini Tool, however in contrast to WUMT it is written in .NET instead of C/C++ and it is open source; thus its continued maintenance is ensured.
The program comes with an intuitive interface and, upon first launch, it displays the update history for Windows. In order to view the pending updates along with the installed and hidden ones, you need to access the scan function of the tool.
The highlight of the tool stems from the fact that it allows you to install updates based on category, an option that permits you to delay certain annoying situations, such as the patches that start downloading and installing following the OS reinstallation.
At the same time, the app can download the wsusscn2.cab database from where you can search for updates offline and block updates in the Home and Pro editions by changing the WSUS servers settings. When the automatic updates are disabled, the tool also hides the Windows update page from the Settings panel.
According to the developer, the aim of the application is to provide you with the same level of control over the updates as you used to have with Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. Since you can see the installed, hidden and pending, you can now choose what to do at your own pace.
All in all, WuMgr is an easy-to-use tool that provides you with a convenient way to manually download and install updates for your Windows 10 operating system, regardless of its edition.
