Hi Don,

To address your concern, we suggest that you refer to ProjjalGop's response on this related thread
for some instructions on how to disable Windows 10 automatic update.

Let us know the outcome.

Thank you.

 

Stop updates completely

590I had to roll back before the crash date on windows 10 because I am on satelite internet and setting it to metered does not help with updates. I pay the highest per bit cost in the states and I simply can't afford updates that I don't choose what I update.
I mean microsoft can use up all your bandwidth in just a couple of updates and then you simply have paid for nothing and have no more internet.

Metering does not work. When you are actually limited to x amount of gigabytes in data downloads and x amount of speed you can't have software that updates on it's own... you can't... you simply pay for something you don't actually get to use then...

Now if microsoft wants to pay for my internet then it would be ok... but i have yet to be able to find a way to stop it from updating on it's own.

If I can't control what I update and when I simply can't use it, at all.... So someone out there tell my how I go back to the old way of updating so I have control of what and when I update anything.... somethings just don't get updated unless I can get
an update from someone else on cd. that is just the way it has to be when you pay ungoshly amount of money and are extremely limited on data limits.

so someone plz tell me how to turn it off completely or control what and when i update.. otherwise I will have to stay with 8.1.

thanks

don

Does it work to boot the PC from a Windows installation medium and delete C:\Windows\System32\usoclient.exe?

 

I have no idea and would never suggest such a hack. If you want to delete system files, please feel free to go ahead. But please don't ask us to sort out the consequences...*chuckle

Stopping Windows updates should only be a short term measure in special circumstances. There are ways to get control. I've never had an unexpected restart due to an update, nor had one download unexpectedly.

 

What would be the consequences?

 

Windows will reload essential system files, when it find those missing, during a maintenance run!
