Windows 10: Disable updates - is there any working solution?

HelloI tried the gpedit settings but my Win11 just updated, rebooted and messed up things WITHOUT my approval.It also created issues in uninstalling the latest crappy update and I lost 1 hour rolling back.Is there any working tweak to prevent the automatic updates? Thanks

How to disable Windows 10 updates [100% working solution]

New thread is needed because all the others have been closed...

You know, even if you stop and disable Windows Update service, first or later "something" will turn it back on....

I believe the "simple" and working solution is: automatically set Windows Update service status "disabled" every time a changing attempts occurs

Ingredients:

1. arrest and disable Windows Update service from the services pane
2. using task scheduler create a task that

2a. triggers every time Windows Update service status changes

2b. disables it (and stop if needed)

END

hints for step 2.

2a. Fill the new task TRIGGER tab with the information of the event (have grabbed for you from Event Viewer)

Event ID: 7040

Registry Name: System

Source: Service Control Manager

2b. Fill the new task ACTION tab with a "program" to start, can be a .bat script file with the following lines

@Echo off

net stop wuauserv

sc config wuauserv start= disabled

Under General tab do not forget to tick "run with highest privileges"

You can test the scheduled task is working/triggering correctly by manually change, in the services pane, the Windows Update service status from disable into another, I mean without have to wait Windows changes it randomly

Of course when an update of the system is REALLY desired, the task must be deactivated temporarily

Precisely in order:

1. Deactivate the scheduled task
2. Change Windows Update service status from disable into another and start it
3. RUN WINDOWS UPDATE AND UPDATE THE SYSTEM
4. Stop Windows Update service and change status into disabled
5. Activate the scheduled task

(sorry for my english)
