You may have seen many tricks in which the Windows 10 update will stop temporarily, but I will show you how to stop windows 10 update permanently

Now that you are on Windows 10, use Group Policy to disable Windows Update.
Please find the steps below.

  1. Open gpedit.msc
  2. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Component > Windows Update.
  3. Here are the lists of policies, that you need to set, in order to disable Windows update:
    1. Configure automatic updates : disable
    2. Do not allow update deferral policies to cause scans against Windows update : enable
    3. Remove access to use all Windows update features : enable
    4. Do not include drivers with Windows updates: enable
    5. Do not connect to any Windows update internet locations : enable
    6. Specify intranet Microsoft update service location : enable, then fill the below input boxes with single space:
      1. Set the intranet update service for detecting updates
      2. Set the intranet statistics server
      3. Set the alternate download server
  4. Restart your PC after you apply these 6 policies.

Note! Policies #e and #f are interrelated and are actually the most important policy.

Once you set policy #f, you won’t be able to update your store apps! To temporarily enable updating of Store apps, go back to policy #f and change it back to not configured.

You don’t need to restart your PC for this policy to take effect.
