Why have all Microsoft download links for wushowhide.diagcab been broken for many months?
This important Windows Update troubleshooter is the recommended solution in many Windows support articles, but for some hidden reason Microsoft have made it impossible to obtain.
- Jun 26, 2021The troubleshooter has been re-signed with a SHA-2 cert and has been republished. Thank you for your patience. As for the remaining list, I don’t have anything to add at this time but will check if there are plans to resign those.

It really bugs me when I see these "Tech Community Boards" and there's ALWAYS somebody like you who's quick to jump on the chance to be the first person to provide the most generic answer possible. "Is your computer plugged in?" "Did you try unplugging your modem?" crap like that. In this case you didn't even have the generic decency to try a simple search regarding "WuShowHide.diagcab" which is in fact a very well known tool. It's why I'm here.
From what I understand, Microsoft may have released a digitally signed version of this tool. I learned of this from the comment section of (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/wushowhide.html) which is where you can get WuShowHide. Which is what brings me to this page. I was searching microsoft.com for this newer version (if it exists).
You should keep your answers to yourself if you aren't even going to make the laziest effort to at least search what he was talking about. Your answer isn't even close and that can be seen in the response Bruce gives. He was probably surprised that somebody would give an answer completely omitting any information regarding he object he listed in his question. He may have been surprised, but I wasn't. I see this all the time. Your kind must earn their merits by the quantity of answers given rather than the quality of them.
