    Windows 10 Home - How to Disable Updates?


    Hi,

    I'm in the middle of investigation this problem (link below) and I need disable Windows Update.

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-performance/video-dxgkrnl-fatal-error/49b31254-6a5d-4e97-aec4-136edf46cfcc?tm=1562226760320


    Currently the latest Intel and nVidia drivers are causing BSODs so I reinstall previous drivers that IIRC didn't cause it. After I uninstalled both drivers, I reinstalled them back with no Internet connection. Then after restart, Windows Update keeps downloading the latest version of both drivers, and I'm sure that they will give me another BSODs again.


    So far I have :

    1. Set WiFi to metered connection

    2. Run this app https://support.microsoft.com/help/3073930

    3. Disable Windows Update in Services.


    1 and 2 doesn't work because they still bypassed by Update. 3 works so far but it means Update won't give me other updates too.


    Is there any way to disable specific update(s) without sacrificing other things too? Is it really hard to give users the ability to choose what we want regarding this? Please help as I almost lost my nerve on this one.

    :)

    Creative X-Fi Soundcards and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709 = Complete Disaster / Not Working

    Thank you for trying to help , i did tried your suggestion but it did not work :/ , nothing seems to make it work on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709. In the meantime i have bought a new SoundBlasterX AE-5 and it did installed flawlessly , no problems whatsoever. it is up to Creative ( drivers ) and Microsoft ( bug fix ) to fix this huge bugs with Audio.

    Kind Regards: Chispy

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

    I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

    "Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

    1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

    2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

    I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."


    It was a helpful post. Thanks!
