    Disabled Windows Update service. Win10 still turned it back on.


    How do I disable Windows Update permanently?

    I disabled and stopped the Windows Update service under Computer Management a long time ago.

    Recently, I see microsoft is trying to shove 1709 down my throat, and has turned Windows Update service back on.
    I disabled and stopped it again, and Windows turned it on yet again.

    My Update history is very short, and I thought I had Windows Update turned off for good.
    But I guess I was wrong.

    Not if the Service is disabled. Microsoft has no history of having stealth services once you turn them off.

    But there are reports something is turning back on Windows Update service even if it's disabled, though I suspect they really set it to Manual which still has the go-ahead.
