Latest News: Ransomware gang creates site for employees to search for their stolen data. Posted 12 May - AM. Now check this out. Because of my current situation I am being monitored and spied on through no fault of my own misbehavior.
I am an innocent man and am not deserving of this disregard for my privacy and personal rights. That being said, some of them take it a step further and try to turn this bleep situation into a game. So, I'm in a public place to use the wifi on my laptop. Unbeknownst to me there is a Windows 10 update about to happen. Seconds before the update appears, a pig with a dog walked up to me and I started to put my computer away because of course who would want to do anything with a pig standing over them?
And right at that moment when I pressed "Shut down" on my computer the little orange update icon appeared over the start menu and it was too late.
I guess the pigs were anticipating that my computer update was going to self-install and they wanted to be there to "aRR hyme it". I am fully opposed to automatic computer updates for many security reasons. They're simply a hole for spyware so that Microsoft can invade your privacy and open back doors for their friends who pay them pretty pennies to access the userbase.
Type regedit, and click OK to open the Registry. Right-click the Windows folder key, select "New" and then click "Key". Name the new key "WindowsUpdate" and press "Enter". Right-click the newly created key, select "new", and click "Key".
Name the new key AU and press Enter. Name the new key AUOptions and press Enter. Double-click the newly created key and change its value to 2. It's for "Notify for download and notify for install". Click "OK". Close the Registry to complete the task.
Using this value prevents Windows 10 from downloading updates automatically, and you'll get a notification when new updates are available. By this way, you can avoid any auto Windows 10 update effectively. That's how you could make an attempt to disable Windows 10 update in every way. Each method has been proved to work as long as you wish to turn off all the automatic updates in Windows 10 In the end, we're also asked to address another similar Windows 10 update issue which frequently bothers users for a long time, if you're the one who is looking for a way to stop a Windows 10 update in progress, leave this page and move to the linked page for help.
Another idea for this that I was thinking about is creating a restore point right before the update and when the update is done, restoring my computer, possibly removing the changes. Anyone got some suggestions that work better than this RedEdit fix? I want to permanently remove this update function.
If I want my computer modified I will do it myself and I will do it manually. Edited by hamluis, 12 May - AM. Linux User and Windows 10 Lover. Aside from anything else new features, fixes and so on , Microsoft constantly discovers new security holes, exploits, etc and these are addressed in Windows Updates.
The only comment to make on such a suggestion is if you don't like Microsoft, why don't you switch to linux? I can understand it if someone wants to delay a major update in case of MS update problems and a delay is already available in Windows Update itself but disabling permanently is just plain asking for trouble.
In any case the method suggested is far too complicated. There are several simple free programs available to do this job quicker and safer. Posted 12 May - PM.
Action without vision is a nightmare. Posted 13 May - PM. I already use airplane mode and also, when I try to connect with my VPN and it is in "connecting" mode but not actually connected, it auto-blocks the connection, so, when I am offline I am always in airplane mode with my VPN in "connecting" mode and also I disable all my network devices through device manager.
And yet, although I do all of these things, I can't help but be paranoid that there is someone still hacking into and spying on my computer. Can you explain why you think blocking Windows updates will stop someone hacking into your computer? Okay, check this out. My computer was updated yet once again without my say so and although I disconnected the internet it still updated upon shut down. Now, how is it possible if I am not connected to the internet? That is two updates in two days.
This second one today updated even after I chose to pause the updates. One of these nights I'm going to purchase some vintage computers and there won't be any updating anything.
So what are you going to DO with you totally disconnected, isolated outdated computer? Posted 14 May - AM. MS Win 10 Pro bit V. I have 27 Years of PC Experience. Community Forum Software by IP.

I found an article on disabling these updates once and for all. Using the Registry Editor to disable Windows 10 auto-updates. Posted 12 May - AM wow. Posted 12 May - AM Definitely not a good idea.

UK Local time: AM. Posted 12 May - AM I can understand it if someone wants to delay a major update in case of MS update problems and a delay is already available in Windows Update itself but disabling permanently is just plain asking for trouble. Posted 12 May - PM easier way- airplane mode- permanently.
Posted 13 May - AM Very poor idea. Everybody knows what day patch Tuesday is. Even with Windows 10 home you can delay the update for 7 days easily. If you set "active hours" then Windows 10 will not download and install updates during those hours. Who uses a public WiFi hotspot for downloading updates?
