Windows update client is not directly responsible for forced win 10 update/adverts. It is only used in part for the update, the update/advert itself is triggered by other updates, namely KB3035583.

If you need to explicitly exclude some updates (mostly Win10 and Telemetry-related), you can use the ./Exclude/custom/ExcludeListForce-all.txt, simply listing the updates that should be excluded (KBxxxxxxx list).

I have a feeling that these are included In my custom lists.

does that mean that ./Exclude/custom/ExcludeListForce-all.txt will be enforced?

The force exclude list does apply to all static and dynamic updates. However, it might not apply to other lists in the 'custom' directory. Only the admin can give a definite answer, though.

Hi.

The file ..\exclude\custom\ExcludeListForce-all.txt should affect custom static definitions, too:
