Just a quick warning about WU patches

Windows update is (inexplicably) releasing KB4493132 for the 42% of us that still use WIN7. It is a re-issue of the old GWX nag-utility to upgrade to WIN-10, and apparently it can't be disabled by the adminstrator after it is installed. The reasoning behind it? Who know...maybe they're going to roll out another "Free" Win-10...

In any case, the scheduled task "refreshgwxconfig-B" runs "schtasks" with argument
shgwxconfig-B, MicrosoftWindowsSetupGWXTriggersrefreshgwxconfig-B

You might want to avoid that one...

"Note for organizations

This update is not applicable for devices in managed organizations. More specifically, this update will not install on devices running Professional and Enterprise editions of Windows 7 as well as Windows Server products. We recognize that organizations typically have an IT Pro managing system configuration and Windows 10 deployments. "
