    How do I stop automatic updates?


    Hi everyone,

    I hate Windows 10 because it updates without my consent and slows my computer down a lot. I'd like to be notified that new updates are available and give my OK to download and install them.

    Can anyone help me please?

    :)

    How do I stop automatic downloads?

    Hi Lisa,

    Can you check something first:

    Open Windows File Explorer

    Navigate to C:\Windows\Logs

    What size is the CBS folder contained in the logs folder?

    To turn off Automatic Updates:

    1.

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Accounts - Sign-in Options

    Choose to sign in with a Local Account rather than a Microsoft Account.

    2.

    In the Settings App

    Go to Network and Internet

    Set your WiFi connection as Metered

    3.

    Click your Start Button, type services and hit ENTER

    Scroll down the list of services to find Windows Update

    Double click the service

    If it has started, click 'Stop'

    Then you must set its startup type to 'Disabled' - 'Manual' will not do!

    Restart your PC

    That's It!
