Uphide: simple utility to hide unwanted Windows updates

[Quin]

Hi Quin,

Thanks for your efforts. The tools works on Windows 7 Sp1 64-bit.

Awesome, glad to hear it! I've personally tested it on Windows 10 IoT 21H2 and Windows 11 24H2 IoT. Glad to hear it works all the way back on Windows 7 too!

I've gone ahead and put a license on the repository, it's MIT licensed

Back when Windows 10 was first released and for several years after, Microsoft provided a tool allowing you to show and hide updates if there were updates that were causing problems, called wushowhide. This tool is hard to find and the platform it is built on is now deprecated, so I wrote this simple Windows program to hide any unwanted Windows updates. Simply run it, wait for it to list all your available updates, and type the numbers of the updates to hide, seperated by spaces.
Note: Due to how the Windows update API works, this program requires administrative privilages to run.
I know I've posted about this program before, but now it's much more officially open source and on GitHub, with a readme and everything.
