It’s somewhat different in scope, but I do heavily use the old, free program PeerBlock and it’s been totally fantastic for me and has blocked a lot of stuff online that I don’t want to see - ads and moving videos and so forth, whether they are powered by Flash or not. (Yes, I know that other browsers allow for those programs, but none of them are perfect solutions.) I think that the programs that people often recommend to hobble Flash, like “NoScript”, do not work with I.E. Like W.H., sometimes I have to use a website that requires Flash. And due to no longer having Automatic Updates enabled, nothing new should download anyway. Everything was back, but due to the Metered Connection, nothing downloaded. Then I ran WuShowHide to unhide the hidden updates, and rechecked for MS Updates. Rechecking for MS Updates showed no further updates available. Turns out, even with the Metered Connection trick, the Download button for non-hidden MS Updates is still available, so running the Flash Player update selectively went off smoothly without unmetering the connection. Then restarted the tablet and ran the updates checker with Metered Connection still on for safety. Then I downloaded WuShowHide, and hid for now both of the other updates (the CU and MSRT, even though there’s no harm in running MSRT any time). So now I’m no longer on Automatic Updates for the tablet. I downloaded and ran the Registry mods from the Infoworld article link. So the only way to selectively get just the May 13th Flash Player Update was to go ahead and use the Carboni Method. Weird, as the same patch for 64-bit systems is available at the Update Catalog.Īnyway, the only way to get the patch was to use the full-on MS Updates mechanism on my Win 10 Pro 32-bit tablet, and we are not installing the May Win 10 CU just yet. The latest MS Update for Flash Player for Windows 10 version 1511 was not available from the MS Update Catalog for 32-bit systems.

I can now confirm that the Noel Carboni Method does work for selectively patching Windows 10 Pro.
