Windows 10: 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 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 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 task scheduled is working/triggering correctly by manually change the Windows Update service status from disable into another I mean without have to waiting happens automatically


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 to 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
