How to turn off automatic updates in Windows 10 permanently

Windows updates are important, but sometimes they happen at inconvenient times. Windows 10 makes it possible to pause or disable automatic updates, giving you more control over when the updates occur. If you're using Windows 10 Home, you are only able to pause updates for up to 35 days. If you're using Windows 10 Pro, you are given the option to permanently disable automatic updates by editing your group policy. In this video, Mike will show you both ways of pausing and/or disabling updates on both Windows 10 Home and Pro.

NO ONE came here for a PAUSE of updates at all. WE WANT TO TURN THEM OFF PERIOD

Wow this is the best how to- tutorials I have ever seen. Even a person who never touched a computer in their lives can follow your step by step instructions . Kudus.

I was downloading something that was 13gb and I left the computer to install it overnight and the update ruined the download

Thank you so much! I was getting that stupid and annoying 'Almost time to restart' dialog, which prevented me from controlling stuff like a car in a racing game. But this turned off the dialog as well! You're golden!

First thing he should say is the most important thing for most users, and what's buried in the text: "If you're using Windows 10 Home, you are only able to pause updates for up to 35 days."

Thank you ! I've been having issues with my laptop staying at 100% Disk Space for hours and basically being unusable. Was told to try disabling automatic updates and this worked!

no body should update any thing in ur computer i have a windows 2007 computer and it runs fine

[Shloofky]

Thank you so much! the 20H2 update has been messing with my screen for months! that really helped.

Thank you so much for the very detailed explanation, much appreciated

Mr. Rodrick, you have GREATLY eased my mind! A friend recently "gifted" me a refurbished HP laptop, upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro. I know he meant well, but all I needed was a Windows system to download the Spooky2 Rife machine software. The Spooky2 generators run the Rife frequencies which need to run uninterrupted, sometimes 24/7 for 11 days! No wifi or ethernet connection necessary. In addition to permanently disabling automatic updates, I've learned how to turn off the wifi connection and setting the sleep mode to "Never." You, , sir, CLEARLY explained and demonstrated how to permanently disable automatic updates. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Love this! I am one of those people who feels cursed with auto-updates always right in the middle of something vitally important, OR when I am trying to shut things down for sleepy time and forced to stare at a blue screen with an order: "Don't turn off your computer. (ie: YOU may NOT sleep until we are done with you!!)" Thanks very, very much.👍
