Disable via registry
The Windows Registry is a great way to deactivate the update in Windows 10. Here you can quickly and easily set the desired settings for the Windows updates. To do this, we proceed as follows:
Enter “ regedit ” in the Windows search and open the registry (as administrator)
Navigate to the following path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\
Right-click on “ WindowsUpdate ” and New -> Key
Then create a new key/key “AU”.
Then create a “ DWORD (32-bit) ” called “ AUOptions ” and set the value to “ 2 ”
Disable windows update registry done 🙂
If these registry keys and values already exist, only the values need to be adjusted, but no new keys and entries need to be created.
