please see this post, maybe you have the same problem with windows update like me:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5349304
Windows Update KB5004237 prevent strap driver installation of CLAYMORE mining software.
After uninstalling the update the system works ok but the system installed it again after 5 hours when my automatic updates were disabled.
please help me get the claymore driver signature.

The only fast solution here is to uninstall the update, and use Windows Update Blocker to stop Win 10 from autoinstalling it. You really don't need all those "security" updates on mining rig if you use firewall and don't use rig to constantly browse web. I've used old Ltsb ver of win10 from 2015 on my mining rigs for at least 2 years without any updates and there were zero problems.

You can get Windows Update Blocker 1.6 from https://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-6/ , it allows to disable win update service and stop medic services that reenable windows update service.

lol update blocker Roll Eyes

deactivate windows update in the right way and no one needs and "update blocker". my rigs makes no update in the last 4 years without any extra suspicious tool

Of course you can do it manually, if you know how to disable windows update services (at least 3 of them) via registry, getting ownership of protected registry keys to change it and so on. Also seems like you are using old version of win10 (if you are saying about 4 years without updates), and it was easier back then, because with every win10 major update MS hardened update service "protection". So I adviced really fast and easy way to disable update services with update blocker.

Microsoft has always had a tool for shit like this and it's called group policy editor. Disable the update there and the problem is gone.

Changing group policy with gpedit.msc was only enough for old version of win10. In newer versions of win10 to completly stop updates you also have to disable update services, otherwise windows WILL install some of updates (like the one we are talking about).

Update blocker edits group policies and disables update services for the reason. Only combination of two methods stops win10 from updating. I recommended that tool because its easy to use (basicly 2 clicks of a mouse), and it doesn't require any special knowledge from users.
