Windows Update MiniTool (also called WUMT) is a freeware application client created by a Russian programmer named stupid user, and was released in 2015. It is an alternative to Windows Update for the Microsoft Windows operating systems by allowing users to search, install, postpone, and disable updates.
This program is available in four available languages: English, Spanish, Korean and Russian. It supports Windows NT-based operating systems in both 32-bit or 64-bit versions.
The interface is divided into a sidebar that runs the program's function. The options are:[4]
The software received favorable reviews. Softpedia gave it a 4.5/5 with editor, Giorgiana Arghire wrote, "If you want to make sure that you do not forget about the postponed updates, you can use Windows Update MiniTool, as it allows you to download and install them when you choose."[5]
WUMT gained some notoriety in the early 2020s when Microsoft announced that they would be discontinuing the Windows Update service's SHA-1 endpoints for older versions of Windows in 2020 (which included Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista) citing weaknesses with the SHA-1 hashing algorithm as well as complying with newer industry standards.[6] Because these operating systems will no longer receive updates via the Windows Update server due to this change, users have used the WUMT tool alongside other methods in order to get automatic updates working again for these operating systems via the Windows Server Update Services server.[7]
