Windows 10: Stop windows 10 updates?

Hi there

Apologies if this has already been asked, but is there an easy way to stop specific windows 10 updates.

I have the latest Pro version of windows 10 and generally usually don't mind the updates being downloaded automatically. I know you can turn them off automatically with group policies but is there a way to simply stop updates while they are downloading?

Basically my internet is very slow as fibre hasn't reached this area in my city yet, so while I don't mind them downloading automatically usually, sometimes if Im needing to use the internet for something e.g. work related, I find the updates slow everything down. Really what I need is a way to be able to temporarily cancel the updates so I can get my work done and then resume them later.

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so i figured it out myself

Found the logfile in "C:\Windows\Minidump".

You need the Windows Development Kit to open it and a bit of googling to understand it.

Found out that a Daemon driver caused an error. Removed Daemon but this didn't solve it. (ps: Daemon itself worked normally).

I let hibernate my computer again and found another error with sptd2.sys: SCSI Pass Through Direct layer

More google and ended up on the duplexsecure site. Downloaded the W10 version and voila: problem fixed.

For the Windows support team: It would be really helpfull if you could pass problems to a more skilled helpdesk who can do more than proposing the standard solutions in case those won't work.

Cheers

 

Windows 10 Unexpected shutdown on start up

OK, so I also found out that this occurs when sleepmode (for me after 3 hours) changes into hibernate mode.

Seems like the going into hibernate and/or starting up from HIbernate results in a shutdown. In safeboot it works perfectly.

Anyone any idea how I can figure out where it goes wrong. Is there a way to log this (I couldn't find it in bootlog)

 

Various options, quite often asked.
1. If Pro, you can defer upgrades in Settings
2. Designate your connection (either type) as metered - widely documented on web.
3. Windows Update Automatic Updates - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
4. I'll throw in
Driver Updates in Windows Update - Enable or Disable in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

The simplest solution for you may be to temporarily disable Windows Update. Go into the Services snap-in and find Windows update, right click and choose properties. Then change startup type to Disabled. You would then want to stop the service if it's not already stopped.
