Since my last post on this thread M$ has (in June and July) dropped kb4056254 and kb4023057 aka The Windows Update "Facilitator" and Update Assistant(V2). Both of these Updates first appeared in February. Microsoft claims the purpose of the WUP Facilitator is to improve the WUP Process. I don't believe this for a minute; the sole purpose is to nag you until you upgrade.
AskWoody 12 July 2018 : "KB 4023057 — an 'update reliability' patch for older Win10 versions — has appeared again. Unless you want Microsoft to push you to a new version of Windows, you don’t need or want it — it only shuffles more telemetry data off to Microsoft."
If you need another reason to block Windows 10 Updates, this is it. I plan to block kb4056254 and kb4023057 for the forseeable future.
