InControl - Make Windows only update security updates and not install new version updates [Windows]

InControl is a one-button utility which gives users control over all non-security updates to their Windows 10 and 11 systems.




There are two features of InControl. The first one is as the title says, just click the "Take Control" button on the main interface of InControl. When the red word in the main interface turns green, it is enabled, to disabled, click it again.

And when you need to update to a certain version, you can also use InControl for version control. You need to set it when InControl is not enabled, and the version setting in the lower left corner can be edited, and you can enter the new version number into it.

The following content is from the official website

InControl controls Windows automatic updating/upgrading system by targeting it to a specific major version and feature update release. By default, the current release will be used. So if you “Take Control” with the major version and feature release shown in the boxes in the lower left, Windows will remain right where it is – only installing monthly security updates – until you “Release control”.

If you wish to move to a future release, say from Windows 10 21H1 to Windows 10 21H2, you can first “Release Control” to allow those two fields to be edited. Then change the “21H1” to “21H2” and press “Take Control”. Windows Update will now be targeted at the 21H2 feature release and will offer it for installation once it's available. And if you do nothing else, your system will remain there until you again deliberately release control.

Note that InControl will hold your Windows right where it is, even after the current version and feature release has gone out of support. You will see a complaint about the current version of Windows requiring an update. But your system will not be updated while you are InControl.

If you have been playing with InControl and want to restore its Version and Release fields to their natural (current) default values, delete those fields' contents while the system is not under control, then click “Take Control” and they will be set to the system's current version and feature release.

That's pretty much it. Like all of GRC's ultra lightweight freeware utilities, no setup or installation is required. Just run the utility with administrative rights. InControl's operation can be scripted from the command line, and full technical details about the Registry keys it changes is provided.

A Review Blogger in China Who Called Honor Phone a Junk King Was Fined 80,000 CNY


The Guangzhou Internet Court heard a case of online tort liability dispute involving the boundary of speech of online review blogger.

Xiaojiang, a blogger with 100,000+ followers on Weibo, was sued by the Honor Company for infringement of the right of reputation, and was finally sentenced to apologize and compensate more than 86,000 CNY (about more than 13500 USD).

The court held that in this case, Xiao Jiang was a Weibo V user with more than 100,000 followers, and his posts on Weibo about digital products would attract the attention of his followers or other related categories of internet users.  Therefore, Xiao Jiang should assume a higher duty of care than ordinary Internet users when making statements on Weibo, and the quoted content or reproduced information should not only be from the source, but also from a more authoritative source. (Weibo V-user: Similar to users with blue verification badges on Twitter) 

The court also pointed out that Weibo posts are characterized by short content and changeable language styles, but when Weibo users post factual statements or opinions that involve the right of reputation of others, they should follow certain objective facts and moderate the published facts. Verification and reasonable evaluation shall not have malicious intentions of arbitrarily exaggerating, distorting, or taking the opportunity to degrade or insult the personality of others.
