Windows 10: How to Disable Windows Updates Permanently?

How do I PERMANENTLY disable windows 10 updates? I disabled the windows update service in March after 1709 updated and crashed my (6 month old stock) system. The only recourse I had was to reset it which resulted in a great loss of my personal files. After that fiasco I decided no more updates unless I authorize them, however, somewhere along the line Microsoft saw fit to re-enable windows update service and installed updates without my knowledge or permission. Tonight it installed KB4023057. Now my system is freezing after about 20min of usage or anytime I try to have more than 1 app or webpage open. The system process is using 100% of my hard drive and I have 32 svchost.exe running. I disabled updates again in services and rebooted. I checked services after I rebooted to confirm it was still disabled. After experiencing a lag, I checked windows updates and sure enough windows was trying to update 1803 which failed. I checked services again and windows update was enabled. I no longer want windows updates. When Microsoft provides me with a free laptop, then they can tell me what hardware and software I can run on it. I am so frustrated. I have already run chkdsk and it found errors. I have not yet repaired them. I'm considering my options based on feedback about disabling updates.

How do I PERMANENTLY disable Window Ink for Windows 10 Pro 1803

I tried it, and after restarting the changes I made to these services persisted, but the "Use Windows Ink" box checked itself again... I tried unchecking it and restarting again for a double check, no effect :/

Still, thanks for the suggestion.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. If a

Follow the below steps:

  Command Prompt (Admin).

  Enter.
