By the way, I have an enhancement request for Microsoft...
in the "Optional Updates" window, there should be a "check box" next to each individual item where we can check (don't show this again) and have that feature do whatever magic the wushowhide.diagcab file does.
There's something wrong here.
On Win11 there's no way to stop a particular driver update that should not be installed.
In my case it's an AMD graphic driver not compatible with Adrenaline graphic management software the same AMD provides.
Wushowhide.diagcab is blocked, even if its link is available on the Microsoft sites you all mentioned.
The process of updating (Solarwind docet) is a particularly sensitive and vulnerable one.
Therefore, "social.technet.microsoft.com" should be removed or updated with meaningful content.
Graphically, it looks abandoned.
And, notoriously, "social.technet" has been replaced with "techcommunity" where this post is published.
The problem in subject remains open, and users and IT operators should underline it in any available feedback space Microsoft provides.
@Bruce_Roberts @Jason Leznek I just would like to state my support for this feature (btw at best only 0.1% of affected users would waste time to do this mind you) due to the fact that I have an older Laptop, top of the line back then 10yrs+ ago. Which did cost a fortune BUT the fact I can still use it comfortably today says it's a worthy investment. The looks of the laptop is still relevant today, as well and there is no problems EXCEPT older generation hardware.
Now in order to use the hardware with certain applications, it needs to be in specific driver version (Desktop version - but I got the laptop version). I researched and got around that problem and implemented it, I never had any problems until windows DECIDED for me and harass me with THEIR driver version, which availability is appreciated, BUT unfortunately kinda FORCED. Every couple of days it wants me to Update and when I did... The applications that I use daily WILL NOT WORK. until I roll back or uninstall to reinstall the specific hardware driver for this specific laptop. See the problem now??
I would like to keep having the ability to ONLY SELECT specific device DRIVER update to be offered. Once I consciously and manually UNTICK/UNSELECT something it should be OPTIONAL in the future. I mean I can and would actually be better to go to the official hardware manufacturer's website for their latest driver (if still supported) anyway isn't it?... a simple reminder would do the trick for most ppl.
Windows Updates are important, but at times, users might not want to update their systems. While Microsoft keeps changing the policies regarding Windows updates, the current policy allows you to easily pause the updates for 7 days. Earlier, they allowed users to download and use the Show Hide Updates Tool after downloading it directly from the Microsoft website. However, now that link is broken: -59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcabUPDATE: You can now download this tool (wushowhide.diagcab) here from microsoft.com. The link is working again.Show Hide Updates Tool wushowhide.diagcab download link brokenMicrosoft has not given any reasons as to why they have taken the tool down. They must have their own reasons and we respect the same. However, we have a workaround to download the tool and use it.How to download the wushowhide.diagcab utilityAs you might be knowing, Wayback Machine is a website that stores past versions of web pages. This means, even if you remove web pages from the active internet, they will remain with the web archives.Thanks to this facility, we can download the wushowhide.diagcab utility directly from the Wayback Machine by clicking on this web.archive.org link here.
It should be noted that if Microsoft has removed the link, it must be for some reason. They obviously do not want users to access the utility.If not the utility, what options do I have?As of present, the easiest method is to pause Updates. The procedure to do so is as follows:Click on the Start button and go to Settings > Updates & Security > Windows Update.You will find the option to Pause updates for 7 days. Click on it to do the needful.In case you need to block the updates for a longer period, then go to Advanced options.You will find a drop-down menu to select the date till which you can pause updates. Usually, the latest date is more than a month from the current date. Select the date and you are done.We hope this resolution was helpful.Please let us know in the comment section.

Apparently running the "wushowhide.diagcab" application is not a long-term solution because Microsoft Auto Update came back an overlays an older version for the Intel Iris Xe Graphic driver dated 12/21/2022 over Dell's newer version.
In reference to your question, yes, right now the best option will be to pause Microsoft's Auto Updates. For further suggestions and details on this topic, we recommend to get in contact directly with Microsoft Support:
I've continued to have the problem of Microsoft auto updates overlaying Dell's more recent graphic driver. I've continued to research, and have found a solution that works for now. I used the alternative method of using Local Group Policy Editor to stop Microsoft from updating drivers. The Dell XPS is still under warranty so I just run Dell Driver check and manually update anything shown out of date which insure the drivers to work with the laptop's architecture.
So it basically comes down to trust. Who do I trust to keep the laptop's drivers updated for security purposes in line with the architecture of the laptop. For now while under warranty it is Dell. I'll find out with the passage of time.
Intel does not verify all solutions, including but not limited to any file transfers that may appear in this community. Accordingly, Intel disclaims all express and implied warranties, including without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, as well as any warranty arising from course of performance, course of dealing, or usage in trade.
This is because the WinRE partition is too small for the Update. In future Microsoft could provide an automatic fix to solve this error and install the update KB5034441. I wonder if this future fix which probably increases the WinRE partition could be dangerous if the system partition or drive is encripted with Veracrypt!?
This update failed on my system as well, for reasons unrelated to recovery partition size. Since this update patches a security vulnerability in WinRE, and the WinRE environment can easily screw up the booting mechanism of any non-Bitlocker encrypted system anyway, the safest course of action may simply be to hide (disabling installation) this update from Windows. Here's a link to Microsoft's tool for doing this...
-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab
Double-click on the file and the click "Next." After a bit of analysis, it will show a "Hide Updates" button. Click that and the troublesome update should be listed. Click the check box for any updates you want to block and then "Next" again. After another bit of processing, the troubleshooter will report the problem is "fixed," but in this case the fix is that it was successfully hidden. If you then go into the Windows Update history, you'll see that this whole messy affair has been swept under the rug and the installation failures no longer show up. If you ever unencrypt your system, you may want to install this security update at that time, and this tool can be used to make the update visible again.
thanks for the hint with the Microsoft wushowhide Tool!
I've hidden the KB5034441 Update. I've read that the Update KB5034441 is only relevant when using lokal Bitlocker encryption. So it should be no problem to skip installing the update since there are more information about the way Microsoft will fix the recovery partition size problem und if Veracrypt system encryption will screw up with this.
My guess would be that Microsoft is working on a way to patch the WinRE vulnerability in a way that doesn't expand the image and require some users to go to all the work of expanding the recovery partition where it's located. With or without the patch, though, using Windows Recovery has the potential to screw up a system encrypted with VeraCrypt, and the patch itself is relevant only for Bitlocker encryption anyway. So if Microsoft finds an updated fix, it'll probably be safe to install but irrelevant for VeraCrypt users. I like that hiding (disabling) failed updates also eliminates record of the failure in your Windows Update history. Isn't reminding you of past failures the role of an ex-spouse? :-)
