Re: [SUSPECTED SPAM] Re: FYI on Windows 10 - Truly Disable Windows Updates

Larry,

Are you recommending then that one never put on fixes? On either Windows
or IBM i or whatever?
Otherwise I would think that 365 days would be fine as one should put
patches on Windows more often than that. Just be proactive and do it
every few weeks before it starts to be a pest.

I saw that. But it would just irritate me 365 days later!!!

Cool Thanks.

I also found a setting that allows you to delay updates up to 365 days

or more and patches up to 30 days.

However wouldn't it be nice to have a simple off/on...

Score 1 for Mac/Linux/IBMi there 😊

This came from Microsoft tech support when I lambasted them for dumping

my work since their "AI" (ahem) felt my machine wasn't being used and it
was safe to reboot it. Let's just say: "I disagreed."

=========================================================================

To truly disable Windows updates on Windows 10

=========================================================================

Run gpedit in a command line or start/run.

Under Computer Configuration:

Expand Administrative templates

Expand Windows Components

Click on Windows Update

Make the following three changes:

"Configure Automatic Updates" - Set to Disabled

"Configure Auto-restart required notification for

updates" - Set to Enabled

"Turn off auto-restart notifications for update

installations" - Set to Enabled

Close gpedit.

Now run services.msc in a command line or start/run.

Locate "Windows Update"

Set the Start Type to "Disabled"

Also "Stop" the service

Reboot.

When you want to do updates? You must restart the Windows Update Service

then do the updates and when done disable again. Personally I would
probably check those three settings above as well after any updates!!

Larry,

Can you email me a list of those steps you have or post something here.

I'm reading conflicting info.

No you have to follow all those settings I sent you. Disabling services

and changing policies and sprinkling eye of nute and toe of toad dust on
your Ethernet connection.

In the standard control panel you cannot turn it off.
