# Blocking Updates
|
|
---
|
|
All currently known Wii U exploits can, unlike e.g. the Nintendo Switch RCM exploit, be patched by a system update. Although the Wii U is no longer officially supported, Nintendo may still release updates for it. Namely, the updates 5.5.3 and 5.5.4 were both released after the Wii U was discontinued, so blocking updates is still a recommended action.

|
### Instructions {docsify-ignore}
|
|
|
|
Currently, two ways exist to block updates on the Wii U system:
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### **Deleting Update Folder**

### Deleting Update Folder
|
|
|
|
?> This method of update blocking is a bit more advanced than DNS Blocking and uses a homebrew app to modify system files. However, it has the advantage that the eShop's functionality will not be restricted.
|
|
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
|
|
1. Download and extract [UFDiine](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/UFDiine/releases) to the root of your SD Card.
|
|
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
|
|
1. Enter the Homebrew Launcher.
|
|
1. Navigate the Homebrew Launcher and run the UFDiine app.
|
|
1. Press the A button to delete the update folder.
|
|
1. Confirm that it says `Update folder is deleted`. You are now blocking updates.
|
|
|
|
#### **DNS Blocking**
|
|
|
|
### DNS Blocking
|
|
|
|
?> This method is the easier method and is recommended to less advanced users. It does, however, prevent the eShop from working. This can be worked around by running [NNUPatcher](http://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/zips/nnupatcher.zip) before starting the eShop.
|
|
1. Plug your SD Card into your Computer.
|
|
1. Extract the `nnupatcher.zip` file to the root of your SD Card. If asked, overwrite any duplicate files.
|
|
1. Plug the SD Card into your Wii U console and power it on.
|
|
1. Enter the Wii U's system settings and navigate to `Internet > Connect to the Internet > Connection List >` `Your WiFi connection > Change Settings > DNS` and set the option to `Do not auto-obtain`.
|
|
1. You will be asked to input a primary and secondary DNS. Enter the following IP addresses:
|
|
- Primary DNS: 168.235.092.108
|
|
- Secondary DNS: 081.004.127.020 <img src="docs/assets/img/DNS.png" alt="DNS Block" />
|
|
1. Click on confirm.
|
|
1. You are now blocking updates. In order to access the eShop, run the NNUPatcher app from the Homebrew Launcher before launching the eShop.
