  1. Turn off automatic Windows 10 Updates


    Hello.
    To turn off automatic updates in Windows 10, we basically need to prevent the Windows Update service from running on startup. This can be done by going to Start Menu>type 'Services'>look for a service called 'Windows Update' and double click on it>if it's already running stop it and put its startup type to 'disabled'.
    Cheers.

    :)

    Turn off automatic Windows 10 Updates

    Hey Aileen,

    thanks for your answer. But there is no "Notify to schedule" Box =(.

    I am just very confused at this point. I can't stop my computer updating itself, I can't stop my computer from sending Data to Windows ... there is not even the option.

    What is going on here? Why is every possible way to use my data by auto turned on, but I cannot control the extend to which my Computer is used by someone else? How can my computer start updating and there is no way to stop it.

    I just can't believe this.... The minimal Data i can send is "basic"?... I can't set my "business-hour" to all day? .... I have to put up with advertisement for a product i bought.... why do i have to put up with that?

    Is this even legal in the EU?

  3. Turn off automatic Windows 10 Updates

    Hi,

    Windows 10 automatically downloads updates and installs them without notifying the user. However, you can configure Windows Update to notify you before a restart is scheduled. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Open the Settings app.
    • Go to Update & Security > Windows Update and then click the
      Advanced options button.
    • In the drop-down box, switch the setting to Notify to schedule restart.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
