Windows 10: "NEVER AGAIN!" update option...

My Lenovo Ideapad 330 hates Windows updates. I have followed tutorials to turn off automatic updates, etc., but the OS continues to revert my attempts to turn off automatic updates.


This is what I want: NEVER UPDATE AGAIN without my express permission. I don't want a pop up to notify me that there's an update available. I don't want it to automatically update. I don't want anything to do with updates showing up at all. I don't want updates to take up bandwidth, I don't want updates to take up processing power, I don't want anything related to updates at all. I want complete control over updates in every possible aspect. I want to manually tell Windows to update when I want it to update. I want to choose updates to install on my own time, and not whenever this OS wants to install things.


Is there any way that forces Windows to forget that it has the ability to take over my laptop and force its own agenda?


This recent update scared me. I thought my laptop was bricked. I don't ever want that scare again. I have an issue right now of expressing how upset I am at Microsoft over these updates.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
