How to get manual Updates back in Windows 8 and later

Create the two files below. Keep whitespace as is. You can now use the Task scheduler (taskschd.msc) to create an update schedule that fits your computer usage. Microsoft usually publishes updates on the second tuesday of every month unless they are extremely critical. The files need to be run with administrative privileges.

stop_update.bat

net stop wuauserv
sc config wuauserv start= disabled

start_update.bat

sc config wuauserv start= delayed-auto
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /detectnow
