    Permanently Stop Windows 10 from updating


    I want to completely disable windows 10 from updating. Windows update constantly wastes my time and stops running programs to update only to show an error message saying it can not complete the changes and has to revert to the old settings. It will not allow me to set the 7 day freeze either. Is there a way to block the update from accessing the internet so it cant get updates slowing down my processor as well.

    :)

    qubit finally upgrades to Windows 10 permanently!

    Check out the link in Mussels signature. There he has listed a couple programs that stop that, as well as a windows update program. They all work flawlessly.

    That doesn't stop windows update from grabbing them on next run, at least it didn't back in the RTM days. It simply stops a secondary process from installing them immediately.
