If you need to disable Windows 10 Updates, Here's how.

Here is my post on Reddit

 

Here is the Microsoft Support chat that showed me how to disable Windows 10 Updates you can still check for and install updates manually.

This is an update to Windows 10 Updates are Annoying 

These are why we need to be able to choose our updates and parts of them. I only need Windows to update Windows, I can deal with Intel myself.

Microsoft is annoying me (as much as Apple annoys me that my iPod doesn't remember to "Trust this computer"), If I install the latest Intel graphics drivers, with Intel's own damn driver application, I get a Windows update, not for windows but for my Intel graphics drivers. Windows wants me to use old Intel drivers in that don't work anymore, I've tried them, all my subtitles and video content get f*cked. But if let Windows do its thing then update the drivers on my own, the next time I use my PC Windows Update says my drivers are out of date and I need to update.

 

Here is what happens with the outdated drivers Windows Update wants me to use:

This occurs in VLC video subtitles, game visuals and Windows own media viewing applications.

 

Battlefield 4, with current Intel drivers runs fine, with the ones Microsoft thinks are current...

the camo on my weapons is supposed to be Flat Snow aka plain white, and yes my clan is NSA.

 

 

I didn't put this in troubleshooting because there is no solution other than waiting for Microsoft to update what drivers they consider current.

 

Feel free to share your annoyances with Windows Update in Windows 10 below.

I run my browser through NSA ports to make their illegal jobs easier. :P

Thats common knowledge  :D

and why would you wanna disable updates, that are important for the wellbeing of your computer.

 

Not sure why OP would want to disable update. There is an option to tell it to download Microsoft updates only and not other things (like Intel drivers).

Well I didn't know it (and in my troubleshooting topic nobody was able to tell me this), been using an iMac for years, built a PC just over 2 years ago, all my PC experience prior is on Windows XP, 98, 2000, CE, and some old server OS, the schools I've been in have never had anything over XP.

 

But here's why I needed to: I have the latest Intel Graphics Drivers direct from Intel's own application, Windows Update keeps installing older ones.

I do not see how this is a PSA. 

More like a POS

I already had that done after initial Windows 10 install setup, but it still kept installing old Intel Graphics Drivers. It has been set to "never install driver software from Windows update" ever since I installed Windows.

Because apparently there are those that have no idea what a PSA is or what it means ...
