    My internet is trash so I use a program to regulate what can use internet and at what speeds. Turns out windows updates don’t happen when they can’t access the internet, big success.

        It can’t, that’s the point. Blocking data access for programs that like to aggressively and automatically download/upload shit was my entire goal and it required a fairly low amount of effort.

        I’ve not seen a way windows can regulate and block individual processes, although I got the program from Windows 10 and never bothered looking in 11.
