Windows 11: Disable Windows Update (permanently) ✅ Tested in 2024
In Windows 10, you can disable automatic updates in at least three ways: through the Settings app, Group Policy, and the Registry. In this guide, I'll show you how to do it. System updates are mandatory in Windows 10 to keep devices secure and up to date with the latest performance improvements and changes, but they can sometimes ship with bugs and other issues that can negatively impact the user experience.
