It was a hell of a lot of taps and cutting/restoring power to the switch. I then went through the same process to include it, so basically it was all a big PITA. Usually on that second time around the switch would finally exclude. What seemed to work for me was pulling the little plug at the bottom of the switch that cuts the power, pushing it back in, tapping the switch a bunch of times, pulling the plug again, pushing it in again, and tapping a bunch more times. In the end, I have no advice for someone who was in the same boat as me and is digging this thread up in the future. With the rest of the switches it was enough to simply put the ZStick in exclude mode and tap them, but the Linear switches ended up being way more obnoxious. I know I can get mine to work with Incontrol HA but it always is a struggle. I'll try that and report back.Īlso make sure that you use your vera system and exclude your dimmer switch before trying to include it in ICHA. When Windows 12 happens, we'll definitely be updating InControl to be aware of whatever they decide to do with it.Ahhh, thanks. So you might want to keep an eye on this page for any updates. (What's next, the signs of the Zodiac? Are you on the Pisces release?) The point is, we expect this little utility to become popular – Never10 has been downloaded more than 3 million times – so we plan to keep it updated to address whatever curve balls and antics Microsoft might come up with next. That is, of course, until they change their minds again. And now they've said that they'll be changing from the traditional two-per-year feature updates to only annual. Then they switched to 20H2, 21H1 and 21H2 numbers. Windows 10 started off using numbers for its feature releases. Windows has become a bit of a moving target because Microsoft has become quite inconsistent. InControl's operation can be scripted from the command line, and full technical details about the Registry keys it changes is provided. Just run the utility with administrative rights. Like all of GRC's ultra lightweight freeware utilities, no setup or installation is required. If you have been playing with InControl and want to restore its Version and Release fields to their natural (current) default values, delete those fields' contents while the system is not under control, then click “Take Control” and they will be set to the system's current version and feature release. But your system will not be updated while you are InControl. You will see a complaint about the current version of Windows requiring an update. Note that InControl will hold your Windows right where it is, even after the current version and feature release has gone out of support. And if you do nothing else, your system will remain there until you again deliberately release control. Windows Update will now be targeted at the 21H2 feature release and will offer it for installation once it's available. Then change the “21H1” to “21H2” and press “Take Control”. If you wish to move to a future release, say from Windows 10 21H1 to Windows 10 21H2, you can first “Release Control” to allow those two fields to be edited. So if you “Take Control” with the major version and feature release shown in the boxes in the lower left, Windows will remain right where it is – only installing monthly security updates – until you “Release control”. By default, the current release will be used. InControl controls Windows automatic updating/upgrading system by targeting it to a specific major version and feature update release. InControl is a one-button utility which gives users control overĪll non-security updates to their Windows 10 and 11 systems. But now history is beginning to repeat itself and many people are wishing that they could have some control over these often unwanted changes to their system. When Microsoft announced Windows 11, they said they had never implied that Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows. So these twice-a-year feature updates became mandatory (even when they caused some users serious problems). But once again, Microsoft believed that it knew best. Many people just wanted Microsoft to leave Windows alone and fix its bugs. Then Microsoft decided that they would create “feature release” updates to give Windows an evolving set of features. That sounded good to people who just wanted to use Windows to get their work done. So back then Never10 was created to return power and control to where it should be: in the hands of individual Windows users.įor many years, Microsoft led the world to believe that Windows 10 would be the final version of Windows. So every Windows user was forced to move to Windows 10, whether or not it was best for them. Microsoft decided that it knew what was best for each of its users.
