Help me disable these ####ed automatic updates – Windows 10

Tags: Microsoft, Operating Systems, Windows

I’ve read all the articles, and the solutions never work. I’ve tried disabling automatic updates via a downloaded gpedit.msc (I have Home edition), I’ve edited the registry, I get locked out of editing services.msc event with changing ownership, I’ve set to metered connection.

I don’t want there to be permanent stop to updates, but I want to update on my own terms, something that shouldn’t be controversial. Even postponing a week or so out, every week I have to go and remove a bunch of Windows bloatware that takes forever.

There has to be a way to pause these updates indefinitely. Can anyone help?

If it is a true MS Windows update, you aren’t required to update it but it is usually advisable that you do when such an update is introduced. I always thought there was a way to limit when such updates occur and/or make the computer stop checking automatically or check for new updates at a more delayed interval.

Keeping in mind

That all articles failed, I will write that the usual fix for this is to move to Windows Server where you have more control.

Also weird to read is “locked out of editing”. This has never been an issue for me on any of the Windows Professional versions such as XP, 7, 8, 10 and 11. Maybe some research is needed here about booting to safe mode, editing while in a recovery environment or such.

I wouldn’t say that the regular monthly Windows Updates (introduce bloatware. Have a look the file information of the October 2023 cumulative update (download it via https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/october-10-2023-kb5031356-os-builds-19044-3570-and-19045-3570-951fac64-5bf8-4eba-ba18-a9448920df1a ) and check yourself. I see a bunch of dll’s needed by Windows itself.

So can you tell more about the bloatware you remove only to have it come back?

The person above already has tried all they found on the web so the answer appears to be to move to Windows Server.

As to your system, if you can’t restore or remove the “bug” then you reinstall Windows and then restore your data from backups.

As far as I know, you cannot disable updates in Windows 10, they can only be paused.

According to various sources, it contains OpenCandy adware.

It’s ironic that an anti-spyware tool should contain something like that.
