Windows 10: Is there a way to disable only major Windows updates permanently?

I am fine with the small updates such as the KB***** ones.

But I don't want the large ones such as the one coming in October 2018, Redstone 5.

Is there a way to disable only these large updates?

Windows shamelessly restarts computers for updates if it's kept idle.

Is there any way to turn off Win10 updates PERMANENTLY?

I have taken several steps to attempt to permanently disable Win10 Updates.... but every attempt seems to fail.

To date I have

• told Windows I want to manually approve any updates.
• turned off windows updates.
• DELETED Win10 Update assistant (only to have it show back up again)
• DISABLED Win10 Upddates in Task scheduler. (Only to have it re-enable itself.)
  
• DELETED Win10 Updates in Task Scheduler. (Only to have it show back up again)

The only thing I haven't done is revert back to Win8 which seemed to be a far more stable OS.

Win10 keeps telling me that I need an 8g "security update" and that I need to free up space on my C: drive ..... something I am not willing to do. I have put up with this for the last 3 months.... is there really any way to PERMANENTLY disable / delete
/ say "NO!!!!!!!!!" to Win10 Updates?

Thanks in advance for your helpful responses. Trolls.... yeah well, I know you're out there.... you're just as easily ignored.

I have a SSD installed, but with every major Windows update, I find that disc defreg schedule has been turned back on by the update.

One day i will forget to check! Is there a way to permanently disable it?

 

Permanently Disable Windows Defender?


Since this is a TP. The option to turn off/disable Windows Defender is grayed out. However, you can turn off by:

1. Open Admin Command Prompt and type: gpedit.msc
2. Manoeuver to: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Defender
3. Double click on "Turn Off Windows Defender" and select "Enabled" then click "Apply"

WARNING: After turn off "Windows Defender", you might not be able to turn it back on. I suggest before trying this, make a backup image so you can restore to the way it was.
