These commands used in a Administrator cmd prompt will cleanup any Windows update files and any other unwanted temporary files on your Windows system.
dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded cleanmgr /d C: |
In my case, there were no Windows Updates to cleanup.
dism /online /get-features |
The command above will list all Windows Features and will tell you if they are installed or not.
dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:FaxServicesClientPackage |
And the command above will disable a Windows Feature.
C:\Windows\system32>dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:FaxServicesClientPackage Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Image Version: 6.1.7601.18489 Disabling feature(s) [==========================100.0%==========================] The operation completed successfully. Restart Windows to complete this operation. Do you want to restart the computer now (Y/N)? n |
Now I have disabled the unneeded Fax feature in Windows 7.
This is how easy it is to manage Windows Features with the command line and clean up after Windows Update.
