Windows Update — App screenshot

Windows Update

Pause or restore automatic updates with two big buttons—no Control Panel digging.

What you can do

  • Stop auto update

    Fully stops download, install, and background schedules—including related services and policies—not just a short pause.

  • Restore auto update

    Turn automatic updates back on when you are ready.

Use cases

  • Avoid surprise reboots while editing or streaming.
  • Finish setup after a fresh install before enabling updates.
  • Keep a test machine stable while evaluating software.

Without this app

Typical manual steps—screens may differ by Windows version

  1. [Short term only] Settings → Windows Update → Pause updates for a few weeks (it turns back on automatically—not a permanent off).
  2. [Policy—Pro/Enterprise] gpedit.msc → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → Configure Automatic Updates → Disabled; optionally Remove access to use all Windows Update features → Enabled.
  3. [Services—do several] services.msc as admin—stop and set Disabled: Windows Update (wuauserv), Update Orchestrator Service (UsoSvc), Windows Update Medic Service (WaasMedicSvc); optionally Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS).
  4. [Registry] regedit → HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU (create keys if needed)—DWORD NoAutoUpdate = 1; AUOptions = 1 (notify only, no download).
  5. [Scheduled tasks] Task Scheduler → Task Scheduler Library → Microsoft → Windows → WindowsUpdate—disable the update-related tasks.
  6. [Delivery Optimization] Settings → Windows Update → Advanced options → Delivery Optimization—turn off downloads from other PCs.
  7. Note: disabling only one service may be undone by Medic Service or scheduled tasks; a full shutdown like this app needs policy/registry/services/tasks together.
  8. [Restore] Reverse the steps: re-enable tasks and services, remove or revert registry/policy, cancel pause in Windows Update, then check for updates manually.
Antivirus — App screenshot

Antivirus

Step-by-step guidance for Tamper Protection and real-time scanning, then one-click disable or restore.

What you can do

  • Open Windows Security

    Jump to the built-in security app to turn off tamper and real-time protection.

  • Temporarily disable antivirus

    After the guided steps, one click turns off all Defender toggles and background services so installs are not blocked.

  • Enable antivirus protection

    Restore protection and scanning after setup is done.

Use cases

  • Install tools that Defender keeps blocking.
  • On-site repair with a safe way to turn protection back on.
  • Reduce risk of leaving antivirus off by accident.

Without this app

Typical manual steps—screens may differ by Windows version

  1. Open Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Manage settings.
  2. Turn off Tamper Protection first (confirm when prompted; other toggles may stay locked until you do).
  3. On the same page, turn off every protection toggle: Real-time protection, Cloud-delivered protection, Automatic sample submission, and similar items (names vary by Windows version).
  4. Those toggles alone may not stop background scans. For a full shutdown like this app: run services.msc as admin, stop and set to Disabled: Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service (WinDefend), Microsoft Defender Antivirus Network Inspection Service (WdNisSvc), and on Windows 11 Microsoft Defender Core Service.
  5. On Pro/Enterprise, you can also use Group Policy: Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Microsoft Defender Antivirus → Turn off Microsoft Defender Antivirus → Enabled (Home editions usually skip this).
  6. After installing your software, restore in reverse: set services back to Automatic and start them, then re-enable all toggles and Tamper Protection in Windows Security.
Network & Cloud — App screenshot

Network & Cloud

See whether OneDrive and sharing are on or off, then toggle them in one click.

What you can do

  • Close OneDrive

    Unlink, uninstall, and stop background/startup so Windows Update is less likely to reinstall it automatically.

  • Open OneDrive

    Bring OneDrive back when you need backup or sync.

Use cases

  • Turn off OneDrive you never use.
  • Check sharing before moving files on the LAN.
  • Free RAM/CPU for editing or gaming.

Without this app

Typical manual steps—screens may differ by Windows version

  1. [Full OneDrive shutdown] Click the cloud icon in the taskbar → Settings → Unlink this PC or sign out, and turn off Start OneDrive when I sign in to Windows.
  2. Uninstall: Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Microsoft OneDrive → Uninstall. (Or run %localappdata%\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall)
  3. Open Task Manager → Startup and make sure Microsoft OneDrive is Disabled.
  4. Quit or uninstall alone may not stop Windows Update from bringing it back. For a full shutdown like this app: on Pro/Enterprise, use Group Policy → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → OneDrive → Prevent the usage of OneDrive for file storage → Enabled.
  5. On Home editions without Group Policy: run regedit as admin, create DWORD DisableFileSyncNG = 1 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\OneDrive (create the keys if missing).
  6. Restart when done; updates are less likely to reinstall OneDrive or sync in the background.
  7. To restore: remove the policy/registry value, reinstall OneDrive, and sign in again.
  8. [Network sharing] Settings → Network & internet → Advanced network settings → Advanced sharing settings → turn File and printer sharing and Network discovery on or off for your profile.

    List, refresh, or delete selected local accounts.

  • Add user

  • Cancel password expiry

    Stop Windows from forcing periodic password changes.

Without this app

  3. Password never expires: open Command Prompt as admin and run: net user USERNAME /expires:never
Repair tools — App screenshot

Repair tools

One-click fixes for common errors—follow on-screen prompts and keep the repair window open until finished.

What you can do

  • Fix shared folder connection

    Adjusts discovery, firewall, registry, and services so Windows 10 and 11 can see and open shared folders.

  • Repair Windows system files

    Scan and repair corrupted OS files; may take several minutes.

Use cases

  • Cannot see shared folders on the office LAN.
  • Odd crashes—try a basic system file repair first.
  • DIY troubleshooting before calling IT.

Without this app

Typical manual steps—screens may differ by Windows version

  1. [Shared folders—basics] Same network, Private profile; enable Network discovery and File and printer sharing; allow sharing in Windows Firewall.
  2. Workgroup without passwords: under All networks, turn off Password protected sharing—or sign in with the same local username/password on both PCs.
  3. For older gear, enable SMB 1.0: Control Panel → Programs → Turn Windows features on or off → SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support (Win10/11 often still needs the registry steps below).
  4. [Registry—both PCs] Run regedit as admin → HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters: add DWORD AllowInsecureGuestAuth = 1 and RequireSecuritySignature = 0.
  5. [Registry—host PC] HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters: add DWORD RequireSecuritySignature = 0 and EnableSecuritySignature = 0 if missing.
  6. [Registry—interop] HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa: set LimitBlankPasswordUse to 0 only if you need blank-password shares (less secure). Restart, then test \\COMPUTERNAME\ShareName.
  7. Start these services (services.msc): Function Discovery Provider Host, Function Discovery Resource Publication, SSDP Discovery, UPnP Device Host.
  8. [Repair system files] Open Command Prompt as admin, run sfc /scannow, and wait until the scan finishes (can take a long time).
