Windows 10 Update is going on without permission

[bomberblyat]

Hi!

 

I updated windows once, then i stopped windows update from services.msc (i set it disabled and stop so it should not go on, this has worked before), because i do not want to update more windows 10, it deletes my disable from windows 10 updates everytime i reboot my pc or something. Any help is appreciated

(Reason why i want to stop windows 10 updating is, it pops up random shit that i couldnt give a fuck some security bs etc, and i do not want it to fuckup my pc, like random reboots coz windows needs to update n stuff, DO NOT QUESTION my reasons)

Disable automatic updates

 

Settings -> Windows Update -> Advance Options

Pretty sure that you can't interrupt updates permanently on Windows 10 Home. It was a pro feature iirc.

Set your connection as metered as well, this way it will never auto-download updates, but will ask permission.

Settings>Network>Status>Change connection properties>Metered (Yes)

Windows 10 doesn't restart your PC, unless you ignore the multiple warnings.

I don't know what pop-up you are talking about. All I can think about is Windows Defender telling you the scan result, which you can turn off.

You should have at worst 1 update per week (beside Windows Defender ones, but those don't need to restart your PC).

If it is the same update coming back, then something is definitely wrong (obviously), and we need to see in trying to correct the problem so that the update is successful, and it stops bugging you.

 

Oh, also, in Windows, something that will probably interest you, you can set your "Active Hours". It is found under the Windows Update section in the Settings panel. It tells Windows to not do Windows updates during a large time frame that represent a time where you don't want any down time, slow down, or detraction from it. And the cool thing about it, is that  even if you manually trigger a Windows Update during your Active Hour period, once it will need a restart, it will tell you that it will do after you are past the defined active hours, and even prompt you again to be sure when the time comes.

 

Also, make sure this option is turned on:

 

 

(Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advance Options)

 

And it might also interest you that, Windows Update has the ability to have it's download throttled, to reduce the impact on your internet activity.

Again under Windows Update section in the Settings panel, go under "Delivery Optimization".

I've had to take to blocking windows update at router level since I also noticed the old trick of disabling the service was no longer reliable. Windows can't update if it can't reach the servers. I only turn off that rule when I choose to do the updates, not when MS thinks is good. That reminds me, now is a good time to install the February updates before the March ones come out. I don't like to be first to update. Someone else can work out what's broken.

add these to your desktop for ease of use and make a shortcut of ''stop windows update'' to the startup folder.

start windows update.bat

stop windows update.bat

Well actually you are not first. Those who join the insiders program are first.

They don't find all the bugs that a wider general deployment does.

 

I admit, my use case is niche, but I feel simply not catered for by MS in Win10. Win8 and earlier did not have this artificial limitation. I simply can't have PCs rebooting when they like if unattended. I'm not going to pay more for the Pro version to get more control features just for this. I don't want to auto-login to try and resume, as it is not always possible. I don't want to run it as a service if I even can. And Linux isn't a great option either. Even if it doesn't reboot, I also don't like it installing updates in the background as it reduces system performance while it does so. I do like the Win7 approach I still have on those systems. Disable automatic updates. Once a month, check and install, reboot, done. A lot less fuss and stress.

 

Bring back Windows 2000! The ones before the later service packs anyway. It was the last Windows version not to nag you in any way.

On your way of settings up Windows to your need, schedule also Windows maintenance time.

Start > type: Maintenance > Security & Maintenance. You'll get a Windows 7 panel. In it, expand Maintenance, and click on the blue link "Change maintenance settings"

 

Once you setup the OS to do the stuff it needs to do around you, then it doesn't affect you anymore, or just a hint

if you say so ... :-)

well now that say so yourself: I think the same thing too.

 

Not installing updates and then come crying for help when shit hit the fan and something bad happened. We recently had a discussion with that kind of people, we laught and moved on.
