What port does Microsoft use to update windows?
I'm really starting to get really fed up with the windows update service, I've turned it off in the settings and control panel but it still keeps bugging me. Do you guys know what port number Microsoft uses to push updates so I can block all incoming traffic from there?

You are better off to block the update websites via a technology like pihole. If you attempt to do it via the local hosts file I believe it is hard coded to work around
