Windows 10: How to permanently disable Windows Update? Already tried Services.

Hi all. I took the chance and asked one of the "experts" on this Microsoft website, Services has been checked already and I have disabled the ones related to Windows Updates, but it didn't seem to help AT ALL. My PC still prompts me to update windows and I still can only pause the update scan for so long. I really, really, really despise Windows Updates because every single time my PC slows down after an update even though some keep saying it is supposed to help your device or somehow make it safer to use, I simply won't agree with that based off what I have experienced myself. I feel very str

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.

 

permanently disable driver installations from Windows update

Hi guys! I am running Windows 10 Pro 20H2. I have installed Windows at least 20 times over and over and following different tutorials to stop driver updates and automatic updates. The purpose why I am doing this is to prevent Windows update from installing ancient drivers such as the "Intel System" drivers etc.. (7 drivers in total)! But even though I followed all the steps from various tutorials, there are still drivers slipping through.

Below I listed all the things I tried. For each method (and all methods combined), the driver updates still slip through!

1. Disable driver installation in the "device installation settings".
2. Disable driver installation via group policy (gpedit)
3. Configure automatic driver updates in group policies and set it to "option 2" ("ask before downloading and installing updates"). This doesn't change anything though. I don't get asked before downloading drivers/updates.
4. Disable driver installation via regedit (see details at the end of this post)
5. Delete Windows Update Medic Service permanently and disable "Windows Update Service" and "Update Orchestrator Service". Then I set "Windows Update Service" and "Update Orchestrator Service" temporarily to "manual" while installing non-driver updates. I try to accomplish this by running the Windows Update Hide Tool. After hiding all driver updates, I let non-driver updates being installed by Windows update. But all those ancient Intel drivers still slip through - despite them being hidden by the hide tool. WHY???? How is this possible?
6. I tried WAU manager. This program also failed. Drivers still get installed by Windows update.

Please help me to permanently disable those driver installations from Windows update! I am desperate!

Regedit changes I did to disable driver updates:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Update]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Update]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Update\ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate]
"value"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001

 

How can I disable Background intelligent transfer service (Permanently)?

BITS is one of the crucial services to download Windows Updates. Disabling this service will interrupt Windows Updates installation which is not recommended. Here, there is no permanent way to disable Background Intelligence Transfer Service. However, I would suggest to you follow the steps below and check if it reduces CPU utilization.

Method 1: Install all the latest Windows Updates.
