windows 10 - In VBScript, I need a code to subtract 1 from searchResult.Updates.Count, so that Count = 0 and WScript.Quit will be run consequently


I already googled for hours but failed to find the answer.


'ServerSelection values
ssDefault = 0
ssManagedServer = 1
ssWindowsUpdate = 2
ssOthers = 3

'InStr values
intSearchStartChar = 1

dim strTitle

Set updateSession = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session")
Set updateSearcher = updateSession.CreateupdateSearcher()

updateSearcher.ServerSelection = ssWindowsUpdate
Set searchResult = updateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software'")

For I = 0 To searchResult.Updates.Count-1
Set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)

If update.Title = "Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) HD Graphics" Then
I need a code on this line to subtract 1 from searchResult.Updates.Count, so that Count = 0 and WScript.Quit will be run consequently.
End If

If searchResult.Updates.Count = 0 Then
WScript.Quit
End If

set objShell = createobject("wscript.shell")
objShell.Run("ms-settings:windowsupdate") , 0

Next
WScript.Quit

The above VBScript checks for Windows updates. I want to remove some updates such as driver updates from searchResult.Updates.Count, so that searchResult.Updates.Count = 0 and WScript.Quit will be run consequently. I want it to take no action when specified updates are found and take actions only when other updates are found.

Having read duDE's above answer, I have thought up the following:


'ServerSelection values
ssDefault = 0
ssManagedServer = 1
ssWindowsUpdate = 2
ssOthers = 3
'InStr values
intSearchStartChar = 1

Dim strTitle

Set updateSession = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session")
Set updateSearcher = updateSession.CreateupdateSearcher()

updateSearcher.ServerSelection = ssWindowsUpdate
Set searchResult = updateSearcher.Search("IsInstalled=0 and Type='Software'")

If searchResult.Updates.Count = None Then
WScript.Quit
Else
Dim value : value = searchResult.Updates.Count
End If

For I = 0 To searchResult.Updates.Count-1
Set update = searchResult.Updates.Item(I)

'The following excluded updates have to be hidden via 'Show or hide updates' beforehand.
'Otherwise, they will be downloaded and installed by Windows Update.
If update.Title = "The full update title" Then Value = Value - 1
If update.Title = "The full update title" Then Value = Value - 1
If update.Title = "The full update title" Then Value = Value - 1

An_item = "KB2267602"
Set Act=CreateObject("wscript.shell")
If instr(update.Title, An_item) <> 0 Then
Act.Run("""C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe"" ""-SignatureUpdate"""), 0
value = value - 1
End If
Next

If Value = 0 Then
WScript.Quit
End If

result = MsgBox (_
"The number of available updates is(" & Value & ")." & vbNewLine &_
"Do you want to open【Windows Update】?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion,_
"【There are available updates.】")
Select Case result
Case vbYes
Act.run("ms-settings:windowsupdate")
Case vbNo
WScript.Quit
End Select

It works at my end. A dialog box will appear only if there are available updates to the exclusion of unwanted ones. Please tell me whether it works at your end or can be improved.

keyboard - Is there any utility/method to change Windows key bindings to type rare chars to currently empty bindings?

I'm currently typing this post with my windows XP machine and (Spanish) keyboard, and I'd like to add some extra symbols to my text. I could open the "char map" windows utility, look for the desired symbols, and paste them. But I'd like something quickier. For example, when I'm using my OSX Mac at work, I can easily add a ©, ™, ® or similar symbols, just pressing some weird ALT-GR + G / H / J, key combinations. In my (Spanish) keyboard mapping, these combinations are empty, as they don't produce any char at all, which, on the other hand, is perfectly normal and desirable. So, I thought: Why couldn't I add some extra key mappings on top of my currently empty ALT-GR + G/J/H Keys in my Spanish keyboard, and thus, being able to quickly type these special symbols? So that's my question: Is there any utility/method to achieve that effect under windows? (My version is XP). I've even googled this for some time but no luck. I've been a long term Hot...

virtualization - How to select paravirtualization interface in VirtualBox?

Given a windows 8 host system (Intel Core i5) and a Linux Fedora host, I would like to determine the optimal setting for the paravirtual interface. Options are none Default Legacy minimal Hyper-V KVM This page suggest the selection is only based on the guest system: The biggest change in VirtualBox 5.0 is the introduction of paravirtualization support, bringing higher performance and time-keeping accuracy to supported guest operating systems (Hyper-V on Windows and KVM on Linux). Is that correct? Answer The VirtualBox Manual , in the section titled Paravirtualization providers explains very clearly when each should be used (emphasis added): Minimal: Announces the presence of a virtualized environment. Additionally, reports the TSC and APIC frequency to the guest operating system. This provider is mandatory for running any Mac OS X guests. KVM: Presents a Linux KVM hypervisor interface which is recognized by Linux kernels starting with version 2.6.25. VirtualBox's implementati...

Desktop reboots itself on sleep or hibernate

I have been using an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard for main home desktop workstation, operating Windows Vista x64. This computer has right from day one not been able to enter hibernate or standby; after Windows performs its final actions and brings the machine down, it would automatically revive itself for a reboot. Updating to the second latest BIOS (1201)has not helped (the latest BIOS revision would induce video refresh problems rendering it unusable). I have been reading related discussions on incidents similar to mine to no avail of a true workable solution. They appear to be more speculative guesses rather than actual knowledge on the inner workings of motherboard hardware. Does anybody have any electronic engineering experience on PC energy-saving standards to provide a more informed opinion how to go about getting this to work? More stories: this motherboard could not even reboot properly the first thing i used it. It was due to refresh rate of the onboard GPU, which had no influe...

security - How is Linux not prone to viruses, malware and those kinds of things?

How is Linux protected against viruses? This question was a Super User Question of the Week . Read the blog entry for more details or contribute to the blog yourself Answer Well, it factually is not... it's just less subject to hackers developing viruses that target Linux systems. Consumer grade computers usually run on Windows and thus, when targeting a wide audience, Windows is the way to go. Don't misunderstand Linux and viruses, there definitely ARE Linux viruses. Some distros have additional protection layers such as SELinux (See here ) in Ubuntu for example. Then there's the default firewall and the fact that alien files don't automatically have permission to be executed. Specific execution permission has to be granted before execution is possible. (See here ) Then there are several other factors that make Linux a hard place to be for viruses usually non-root users on linux systems have no to little executable files at their disposal that would allow for virus...
