About this tag
The wushowhide tag covers Microsoft's official Show or hide updates troubleshooter tool (wushowhide.diagcab), which allows Windows 10 and Windows 11 users to temporarily block or hide problematic updates and driver updates. Discussions include rolling back updates that cause boot loops, driver failures, blue screens, or app crashes, then using wushowhide to prevent reinstallation. The tool is also referenced in the context of blocking faulty patches like KB5063878, which caused SSD data loss under heavy write conditions. Users share workflows for uninstalling updates via DISM and SFC, then hiding them with wushowhide to maintain system stability while preserving security posture.
