If you're a long-time Windows user, you probably know that some of the patches released by Microsoft in the last couple of years haven't worked exactly flawlessly, so many people had no other option than to remove and even hide a number of updates just to keep their computers in fully working condition.

Fortunately, there's now a better way to do everything and without having to browse through multiple locations on your computer, as this free app gives you full control of every Windows Update.

Simply called Windows Update MiniTool, the app brings dedicated options to check for updates, download and install them, just like you usually do with the Windows Update tool that's integrated into the operating system.

Remove and hide updates

But at the same time, the program also offers options to delete installed updates and hide unwanted items, which comes in handy when the very same patch is being re-offered even though it's causing issues on your computer.

Additionally, it includes a number of other helpful features to get direct links to the *.cab / *.exe / *.psf update files, which allows you to manually install each patch, but also to view update history and easily figure out which bulletin might be causing problems on a PC.

There are several modes available for users running the app, as follows: disabled - updates are verified but not downloaded, auto - selected updates are downloaded and installed automatically, just download - everything is downloaded but not installed, notification mode for letting you know when new updates are available, and scheduled, which installs updates at a user-defined time.

The app works on pretty much every version of Windows on the market, which includes the new Windows 10, so everyone can safely download Windows Update MiniTool right now to see what it's up to. As always, a backup could really come in handy if you're afraid it might do something bad to your PC.
