How To Disable Windows 10 Automatic Updates Permanently 2023 | Turn Off Windows 10 Updates

[@iamhumanfirst2020]

The ability to come into someone's home unannounced, install updates onto their computer, and then reboot their computer without permission - this has got to be illegal or at least infringe upon personal rights and privacy. How is Microsoft allowed to do this and get away with it? Where is Congres when you need them? Do they even know?!?

[@BarelyA1ive]

That's why you should use LTSC or Entreprise version

Boomers can't into tech. Known skill issue.

Microsoft is/was heavily involved with DARPA and the CIA. After the incident with the Nazis and IBM, they knew no one would trust IBM into their home. Welcome Windows, its monopoly, and all its anti-competitive behavior.

amazon took £9.99 out of my bank account recently for amazon music, which I never had or need, they claimed it was ordered via alexa which is another thing I do not have and will never have. (they were quick to refund which makes it even more suspicious)

I'm still on 10 and I'm staying here. it works and I have it optimized and secured effectively. I've used a pro WIN10 debloater and run TRON. I do not need windows updates because it ALWAYS messes MY system up. thank you.

[@GeorgeCarneal]

You got straight to the point, didn't waste our time, easy step-by-step instructions, and no annoying music in the background. Thank you!

[@robe.2424]

I honestly think Microsoft needs to be sued for forcing people into updating like this because apparently disabling updates normally doesn’t do anything and they still force updates. They’ve also removed the registry file that allows you to disable updates. Quite invasive if you think about it. All the more reason I think a lawsuit is needed.

I agree, but with the nonsense Bill Gates is currently up to, I think Windows is the least of humanity's worries.

I wanted to mention windows has since added something in the task scheduler called sih and just from briefly reading it, it sounds like another failsafe to re-enable windows update by sending you updates from a different method. May want to look into disalbing that as well.

In my windows update service......the stop button as well as other buttons are not highlighted!!!!!!

I don't see a problem with us having to disable Win Update just once every time we start, it's better than having no control@@jscs9960

[@darkestblack2671]

In the task scheduler, I came across a Custom Trigger that is in there that won't allow me to disable it. It says I don't have authorization to do so, even though I am the only user & Administrator on this computer.

Thank you very much for the patch to run for Windows 10 Home. I run religious radio stations with some high $ automation software. Windows has been doing updates that disrupt the program and takes us off the air. Some of our donated PC's have Windows 10 Home which did not have GPEDIT capability. You saved the day.

[@Arlo360-Official]

I'm tired of updates preventing my PC from starting and having to revert to ld system image files to restore everything. Everything went just fine with your instructions Fingers crossed.

Trillion dollar company that loves to annoy the hell out of its costumers. You would think they would have a good customer service dept. Hopefully all these steps work, but I am now hopeful thanks to your great advice and help. Thanks for taking the time to help me and many other people.

[@FarrukhAhmedAd]

Well explained video! Just one advice, would have been great if the extra step to install gpedit for Win Home edition was mentioned at the beginning of the video and not the end. I wasted so much time trying to figure out why it wasn't showing up in search bar and had to google and follow steps from other side to create the BAT file and install the gpedit.

[@junkiescumbag6550]

LOL I just thought that same thing, It's lucky that I didn't start going through all these steps before the end

[@BITTYBOY121]

Sounds complicated but I'm going to follow your instructions and give it my best shot because I am sick to death of Windows 10 updates being forced on me - Their updates are totally useless and play havoc with my PC - messing up all my internet connection settings and making me lose my documents whilst I'm in the middle of typing them and Windows 10 decides to download some rubbish update in the background and then randomly crashes my computer without warning with; "We ran into a problem :( We're now restarting your computer" *Stop this nonsense Microsoft We don't like it.*

[@theratking690]

They are not totally useless for Microsoft. They want as much bloatware and AI nonsense they can cram onto your drive so that...when the time is ripe...full control

Oh, these sneaky bass-turds... In Task Scheduler, under WindowsUpdate they have a file that we don't have authorization to called : Refresh Group Policy Cache.

I cant run gpedit on my windows how do I fix that?

[@ChalkGoblin]

9 months late but only windows 10 PRO can use this feature. home editions must use a downloaded program to edit local policies

[@janitordome3605]

Hi, I'm following your instructions. I can's get GP Edit to take me any place inside my computer. It only allows a web search. I am not a paranoid person but I think these computers are being set up so owners can't control what is being done to them. I don't want any updates. I don't turn off my laptop so it doesn't update. I now find that all of a sudden, my computer is off. I have to turn it on by the power button. I own my computer. It shouldn't own me. can I send you a screen shot with a snip tool? That way you can see what I am talking about?

[@CrownGEEK]

Send me on instagram, link is in description

[@Namaride]

Still working! No annoying updates anymore. Some months ago i turned it off for a day to get all latest updates. Since then my windows media player isnt playing video's anymore. Regretting i let windows update only if its just for 1 day.

[@molambo]

Ok Friend, I did the procedure here because I couldn't take these updates imposed by Microsoft on my Win10 anymore! I had done a procedure on a channel here in Brazil, but in the period about 4 more updates arrived! The last one was on 6/18. That demolished my internet and my Telegram desktop version, everything became slow, videos taking time to load on youtube and on Telegram PC you only saw that loading icon in the corner of the screen! When Microsoft always wants to push its updates and push you to Win11, the first sign is the instability of the computers, it is slow, unstable, resets out of nowhere and when you turn on the next day, the updates are waiting for you! I removed the updates installed since May and the computer got faster: It's amazing how these updates destroy your system! I'll observe here how the system will behave! Thanks from Brazil- Bricks!

[@sguhov]

2:16 never told me before, thanks. as well as task scheduler advice. hope it works

[@iamhumanfirst2020]

I followed another source and it only gave 2 steps. After completing it, my computer still updated. I will see if his instructions works.

Thanks for the easy step by step instructions! Now I will do this on my arcade built PCs with Windows 10 on them. Appreciate it man!

[@markdavis4234]

This was xlnt but did not complete. At the end there was a group policy item in the Task Scheduler that didn't allow access. I downloaded your file for W10 home but there was no "extract all" or "run as administrator" option and updates turned on again.

[@kalzonenu]

Thank you for this ive followed many other guides on this stupid issue that they clearly made to be impossible and missed 1 step everytime hopefully this will work!!! 😃

[@nick3200]

Not working!!!!! as soon as you restart you computer update will be running again

Why are you starting off with group policy? It is NOT available in W10 home, only on pro

The last windows update left my laptop with no keyboard, luckily it is a touch screen so I could access my data. It told me that my laptop wasn't suitable for Windows 11 update, so the only thing I could find was to reset back to factory settings Windows 10, which I did and got my keyboard back. I've just followed your instructions and hopefully won't get into that mess again. It has an update listed in my power off section but I am assuming that will go away when I turn off tonight. Thanks for your easy to follow instructions.

Followed every step multiple times WU keeps turning itself back on. In Windows 10 Home I could disable the windows medic service via the registry but in windows 10 pro I can't seem to gain access to the key for it. (windows medic is what kept turning it back on in home version, not sure if that's the case for pro). It's like built in malware.

[@nostalgicstudio]

This windows is turning into nuisance creator we are middle class people we buy things once in lifetime and these western country people are forcing we poor indians to buy new computers every 2-3 years after, that is why people are not upgrading windows XP to windows 10. It huge file and eats 50 GB of space when. installed and allowed windows update and my computer is old with 160 GB out of which only 140 is usable without windows out od which now 50 GB goes to windows 10 pro now from where I bring more memory. I am so much frustrated with this update thing so watching your video. Thanks😢😢😢

at 2:25 I get "access is denied" even after running services as admin

At 3:07 It wouldn't let me name a key WindowsUpdate, saying there was already something named that, so I named it WindowsUpdat. Should it still work? Everything else went fine before and after that.

When I go to Task Scheduler when I click disable it shows that it has disbabled all the triggers except one called "One Time". This trigger tells it to run the task again 30 minutes later. I tried deleting this trigger, changing the time for when it would run, and disabling it. But Task Scheduler then says "Task Scheduler service is not available. Task Scheduler will attempt to reconnect it." Then it gets put back and enabled. Any idea on how to get rid of it?
