Hey everyone,
I've been dealing with a troublesome update, KB5063878, which seems to be auto-installing on a lot of systems. After spending a whole day searching around (including using ChatGPT and Google), I still can't find a working script to effectively hide or block this update.
If anyone has a PowerShell or CMD script that could help me hide this update on the endpoints, I'd really appreciate it!

I've heard some folks complaining about their systems crashing due to that update, but I haven’t personally encountered any issues. If you haven’t already, try installing the PSWindowsUpdate module. I believe it has the commands you might need for blocking updates. Also, consider adjusting the deferral settings so that cumulative updates don’t show up right away. We use this setting: DeferQualityUpdatesPeriodInDays set to 7.
You can run this in an Admin PowerShell prompt: Set-WUSettings -DeferQualityUpdatesPeriodInDays 30 to delay the CU rollout.
Did you configure a dedicated infrastructure for updates, or are you just relying on the regular Windows Update service for your systems?
We're using Ninja, but it's still a problem if users manually check for updates.
How are you handling updates in your organization? Personally, I just paused updates for mine since we use Intune, which has made things easier.
We manage updates through Ninja as well, but I’ve noticed updates still get installed if users click on 'check for updates'.
That sounds promising. I’ll give it a shot!
