Windows 10: Permanently disable all windows 11 updates

Hello. This is the 3rd time I’ve had to reformat and start my laptop over again because a windows update I have no control over has turned my screen black after the login screen. I’ve spent days trying all the options in different posts here. So until Microsoft stops breaking Asus laptops 3 times a year with their updates I refuse to update. If there is no way to disable updates forever then I’m throwing this away, cutting my losses and switching to an iPad. It’s no longer worth it. Thanks in advance.

How can I permanently disable windows defender FOREVER(not temporarily)???

Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

To permanently disable Windows Defender on your Windows machine, you can use one of the following methods: using the Registry Editor or the Group Policy Editor, depending on your version of Windows. Here are the steps for both methods:

Method 1: Using the Registry Editor (For Windows Home and Pro)

1. Open the Registry Editor:
   
   • Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
     
   • Confirm any prompts to open the Registry Editor.
     
2. Navigate to the Windows Defender Key:
   
   • Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender.
     
3. Create a New DWORD Value:
   
   • Right-click on the Windows Defender folder, select New, and then DWORD (32-bit) Value.
     
   • Name the new value DisableAntiSpyware.
     
4. Set the Value:
   
   • Double-click on DisableAntiSpyware and set its value to 1.
     
   • Click OK to save the changes.
     
5. Restart Your Computer:
   
   • Restart your computer to apply the changes. Windows Defender should now be permanently disabled.
     

Method 2: Using the Group Policy Editor (For Windows Pro and Enterprise)

1. Open the Group Policy Editor:
   
   • Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter.
     
2. Navigate to Windows Defender Settings:
   
   • Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
     
3. Disable Microsoft Defender Antivirus:
   
   • Double-click on Turn off Microsoft Defender Antivirus.
     
   • Select Enabled and click Apply, then OK.
     
4. Restart Your Computer:
   
   • Restart your computer to apply the changes. Windows Defender should now be permanently disabled.
     

Additional Steps to Ensure Permanent Disabling

• Disable Tamper Protection:
  
  • Open Windows Security from the Start menu.
    
  • Go to Virus & threat protection > Manage settings.
    
  • Turn off Tamper Protection.
    

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.
