After clicking the "Check for updates" button from the Windows Update settings dialog, a ".NET Update Preview" immediately began to download and install (I forgot that the "check" button sometimes installs things, including beta previews).
A reboot is now required to "update". So, has the "update" yet been "installed"?
If it has been installed, is there a way to prevent the "update" from happening before a reboot, so that it can be "remove"/"uninstalled"?
If the "update" has not yet been "installed", is it possible to prevent the pending "update" from installing/"updating" before a reboot.
I do not want an update preview, but rather to simply ensure that all updates were finished before installing OEM drivers, to minimize interference.
