Windows
10 has set Windows updates automatically. But sometimes Win10 updates
actually feel very annoying to users. In addition to wasteful quota (for
users with limited internet quota), the Windows Updater process that
runs, can slow down the performance of your Windows 10.
How To Permanently Turn Off Windows 10 Update?
There
are 3 steps that must be done to permanently turn off Windows10 Update.
A & B step to disable the updater, and step C to redirect the
update link to the Windows server. step C is actually just in case the
updater is active again without knowing why, or if someone activates it
without our knowledge.
A. Via Command Prompt.
1. Follow the following navigation:
Start/All Apps/Windows System/Command Prompt.
2. Right-click on the
Command Prompt and select
Run as administrator.
3. At the Command Prompt, type the following 2 commands:
sc.exe config wuauserv start= disabled
sc.exe stop wuauserv
If
the response that comes out in the Command Prompt matches the image
below, then step 1 has succeeded, and please proceed to the next step.
B. Through Services (services.msc). This second step is to help complete the process in the first step.
1. Press
Ctrl + R or through
Start - Run to open Run Command.
2. Type
services.msc to run the
Services feature.
3. In the right column select the
Windows Updates option, and click 2x so that the
Windows Update Properties (Local Computer) window appears.
4. Select the
Recovery tab. In
First failure, change the
Restart the Service option to
Take No Action. Click the Apply and OK button.
C. Through Registry Editor (regedit). Actually the 2 steps above are enough, but step 3 is better to be done just in case.
1. Press
Ctrl+R or through
Start - Run to open Run Command.
2. Type
regedit to run the
Registry Editor.
3. Follow the following navigation:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv

DependOnService and
ImagePath.
