Windows 10: daily task schedule/script to disable Windows Update services

Have noticed Windows Update service process triggers randomly using 50% of my CPU leading to CPU getting hotter, computer getting slower etc. Have also noticed setting the service to "disabled" will not solve, or well, solve for a couple of days than the service turn "automatic" and the process triggers again randomly.
SINCE have read a lot and seems does not exist a solution to disable windows update I kindly ask for a script/task schedule that simple set the Windows Update services as "disabled" at every computer startup. Since usually it not turns back "automatic" in the same day that will be a nice workaround solution
Hope someone can help
Regards

Task Scheduler service will not start.

Thank you for updating us. If Task Scheduler will not start, we suggest that you restart it. The service might be disabled that's why the task will not run. Follow the steps below to troubleshoot Task Scheduler.

• Click Start menu.
• Type Services in the Start Search box.
• Right-Click Services, and select Run as Administrator.
• If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click
  Continue.
• Right-click the Task Scheduler Service and select Restart.

And have you tried running the System File Checker scan as an Administrator. For more information check this
article. You can also perform DISM after performing SFC.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Task Scheduler doesn't run script

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Are you able to run the script manually? If yes, does it do what it is intended to?

Disable the UAC temporarily.

Make sure that the Task scheduler
service is running.

Press ‘Win+R’.

Type Services.msc.

Locate the service Task scheduler
and make sure that it is in running state.

Go to the Conditions
tab in task scheduler and make sure that no such condition is set which could block the task from running.

Enable All Tasks History in Task scheduler and run the scheduled task.

Refresh the task scheduler and check if you find any error message/code for any step in the task run.

Also try with disabling Run whether the user is logged on or not
option and see if the script runs.

Hope it helps.

Task Scheduler service will not start.

ok, first, Restart is grayed out when i try to right click, only start is available. every time i select that i get the same "The Task Scheduler Service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some
services stop automatically if not in use by other services or programs" message.

already tried SFC before asking, did not work. tried DISM, and that solved nothing.
