Easy Win Config

Granted, if you are bothered by constantly having to update Windows, you can easily fix this via the Registry Editor or Group Policy Editor. You can postpone the updates for a few days via the Settings. Easy Win Config is a tool that provides you with an even simpler solution to permanently disable the win update service.

The app comes with a minimal interface that consists of three tabs, namely Windows Update, Block Access and Custom DNS. The Windows Update tab lets you know on the spot if the update service is working and you can simply turn it off by hitting the dedicated button.The tool comes with basic advanced settings that allow you to block the Windows update service altogether.

It can be argued that the cumulative updates that your system grabs as soon as they become available are not a bad thing as they can patch vulnerabilities and improve performance. Without denying the importance of updates, sometimes these patches are buggy that can cause numerous problems for your PC, including breaking existing features, creating compatibility issues and even crashes.

As suggested by the name, you can block access to various applications from accessing data out of the network via the tab with the same name. You can use a Custom DNS to access the network that can unblock certain online content. To add an item to either of the tabs, you need to specify a few details. For instance, when blocking an app, you need to type or paste the name, add the executable or file path or the port, if it’s a website or service.

If you don’t like the way Windows behaves and would like to change a few things here and there without too much hassle, then perhaps you can consider giving Easy Win Config a try.
