Windows 10: Need advice to permanently disable things like win10 updates, defender and apps

Hi i have a pc with limited hdd space for which I'm thinking of installing windows 10 but i want the whole update process completely dissabled and to make sure it doesn't revive itself, any advice for this please?

As for windows defender is there a way to disable the realtime protection, other then my manual scans i don't want it to do anything. If that's not possible i want to permanently disable it without any chance of it reactivating itself.

As for apps is there any good way of getting rid of them without them ever reinstalling or windows installing some begind my back? I don't quite want to get rid of all of them but there's a lot I don't need.

PS: Nothing of significance will be stored on it, internet access will be mostly limited to a very few sites and even if by chance it gets compromised it wont affect me.

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:

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5...dows-10-a.html

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.

 

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.

On my computer it's in the Show Hidden Icons box. It's listed as PC status.
