    Windows 10 has been updated even when WU is disabled


    Hello,

    I have Windows 10 Home Edition 1903 and disabled Windows Update service. I have also these keys in registry:


    Windows 10 has been updated even when WU is disabled [​IMG]


    However, I noticed that system was rebooted yesterday. By seeing the event log, I found that these updates were applied:


    Windows 10 has been updated even when WU is disabled [​IMG]


    How could this be possible? How can I disable updates completely?

    I have seen that windows updates are being checked regularly.

    Can you help me, please?

    Regards
    Jaime

    :)

    Windows 10 fails to update


    When you finish testing the Avast suggestion, make sure that you restart your machine.

    Then if the issue persists, please return to the trouble shooting list in post# 89

    I think there are three steps that remain; the WU troubleshooter, reset WU components, and manual WU reset.

    Enable or Disable Driver Updates in Windows Update in Windows 10  


    With that stubborn update that continued to cause reverting back issues I simply disabled the WU by way of the Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services>Windows Update for a temporary stretch until that particular update was no longer showing up.

    Following the green line shows each step of the process there to change the WU active role back and forth from Automatic or Automatic with delayed start another option, manual, or totally disabled from running at all. That is an option for when wanting to get rid of a stubborn driver update by preventing the WU from putting one that causes problems before you go direct to a manufacturer's support site to look what alternative updates are available. Of course you can also very easily right click on the device listing in the Device Manager there to temporary disable a particular hardware. device which will then prevent the WU from any automatic driver search.
