Integrity & Verification

Each release includes checksums and a changelog. After downloading, compute the SHA-256 hash and compare it to the published checksum to confirm the file is intact.

Windows Update Blocker modifies update services by design. Some security tools may flag it due to service-level changes, not because of harmful behavior.

About False Positives

Utilities that interact with Windows services can trigger heuristic warnings. This is common for administrative tools. Always download from trusted sources and verify integrity before execution.
