Windows 10: This will prevent windows 10 automatic updates

Hi guys, i've coded small program that you can compile your self using autoit.

Autoit is free, no accounts required etc

Just install autoit right click in the source file and click compile to either X86 or X64 executable, which ever you want.

Or just run it as is, it will work as long as you have autoit installed.


Program will run in the background and will give you alert when update is prevented.

Once update is prevented, "Update Killer.log" file will be created on the desktop telling you how many update attempts were blocked.


Feel free to modify to your taste.


Instructions:

1. Download and install Autoit and Scite the editor
2. Right click on desktop and create new autoit script and name it "W10 Update Killer.au3"
3. Right click on newly created file and select Edit to open the editor.
4. Paste the code below into your newly created script:
5. Press F5 to test/run the code.
6. Answer "No" when prompted to add to start-up. You can do it after you compile the code. Just be sure to put compiled file in its final resting place before you answer "Yes".

windows automatic updates

i have some questions about the windows automatic updates in windows xp pro w sp/2. ive got about forty updates they recommend , mostly for security but i only installed two today. after installing them i found them in my add/remove programs in the control panel, if i add all these updates that is a lot of space on my hd almost 1 gig. i thought that updates just updated files and not created new programs. should i innore all these update suggestions from microsoft?
