MP3 with high audio

 After testing a variety of downloaders, this site extracts audio with audio above 16k, whereas most cut off.  I personally like and want the audio 15k-20k+

Add an additional zero to a setting

Disabling WSUS in SBS2011 etc

To allow a client machine to get updates directly from Microsoft.

Just the basics...

In Group Policy Management
Under a GPO for Updates...Common
  = Update Services Common Setting Policy
  Right Click and select Edit
  Go to Computer Config
       Administrative Templates
           Windows Components
                Windows Update
Find entry for Specify Intranet...
   And edit it to Not Configured


Is a good idea to disable the WSUS service (optionally in IIS also).  but it is not recommended to remove WSUS as the SBS console breaks.

In services.msc, find Update Service, and set to Manual


..
Note on a workstation, say a laptop that doesn't get tot he office much, can delete a registry entry on the laptop.  Note, if the unit comes back to the office, a Group Policy will be reapplied and you would need to re-delete the key

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\

The problem update we found and blocked was KB4480970, but also MS says KB4480960 was a problem.

They released a fix for this, by udated later in the month called KB4487345.

This patch got rolled up into the February and then the March Rollups.  See KB4486563 and KB4489878 (for March).
