    How to permanently disable Windows updates?


    I am extremely dissatisfied with Windows updates and would like a way to disable them. They've crashed my computer twice now, and last night my computer updated while I slept without asking me, causing me to lose about an hour of work.


    Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to disable them. I've tried various different methods that I've found online, but they always seem to be re-enabled somehow.


    I have never used a single feature that has been included in updates. I am not worried about security fixes; I don't download files from dangerous places and I don't have any sensitive material on my computer. I would like a way to permanently disable 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.

    How to disable Windows Update Permanently from Windows 10 OS?

    Hi,

    I would like to ask question on How to disable Windows Update Permanently from Windows 10 OS?

    Already tried the following:

    • Stop and Disable Windows Update from services.msc
    • Disable Windows Update from gpedit.msc

    But once we restarted the Units, It will perform Windows Updates.

    Some of our Applications are not working properly after these updates.

    Thanks,

    Elrey

    How to disable Airplane mode permanently on Windows 10?

    Hi Hunky,

    As you are facing issues with turning on or off Airplane on your device, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    Do let us know if you have made any changes to the operating system prior to this issue?

    The option you are looking for to permanently disable Airplane mode is unfortunately not available.

    Let us try few of the below troubleshooting steps to disable Airplane mode and check if it helps.

    Step 1: To turn off Airplane mode from Settings and check.

    • Press Windows key, click on Settings
      from the left pane.
    • Click on Network & Internet.
    • Under Airplane mode turn it off and check.

    Step 2: To Turn On or Off Airplane Mode in Network Notification Area Icon


    • Click on the Network icon in the taskbar notification area.

    • Click on the Airplane mode button to toggle on or off.

    Step 3: To Turn On or Off Airplane Mode in Action Center


    • Open Action Center by clicking Windows + A keys from keyboard.

    • Click on the Airplane mode quick action button to toggle on or off.

    If the settings are not refining, this issue might have occurred due to corrupted/ missing system files.

    Step 4: I suggest you to run SFC scan and check if it helps.

    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
    Windows Resource Protection (WRP) file is missing or is corrupted, Windows may not behave as expected.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with updated status of disabling the Airplane mode for further assistance.

    Thank you.
