The latest build of the system from Microsoft differs from versions 7, 8 and 8.1 in greater autonomy. Some operations now take place in automatic mode. Therefore, users are increasingly worried about the question of how to disable Windows 10 update on their computer.
With the release of the new version of Windows, users are faced with the fact that they have lost the ability to configure the system upgrade manually. The OS automatically starts this process, performing a check, downloading the necessary files and installing them without the right to postpone the installation. Therefore, everyone who already uses the operating system is forced to think about how to disable the Windows 10 update so as not to create an unnecessary load on traffic and not sit in front of the monitor because of the headings "Update settings" and "Do not turn off the computer."
Timely upgrade makes the system more efficient. Developers regularly fix dozens of bugs that interfere with the normal operation of programs and applications. And if the user forgets to periodically update the OS, then he runs the risk of encountering some kind of system error. However, in early builds of Windows, after such updates, there are also sudden problems. This fact only confirms the desire of users to protect themselves and download an already tested and reliable update to their computer.
You can turn off automatic updates for Windows 10 through Update Center. To do this, use the hotkeys Win + R on the keyboard to open the "Run" window. Type in services.msc, then select OK or press Enter. Among the elements of local services, open the "Windows Update" section by double-clicking on it with the left mouse button. The Properties panel opens. In the "Startup type" drop-down list, select the item that suits you (deferred, manually or disabled), and in the state column, click "Stop", then "Apply" and Ok.
The second option for configuring Upgrades for Windows 10 occurs through the "Update and Security" section in the "Start" - "Settings" menu. Open the Update & Security tab and go to Advanced Options. Here you can choose how to install the upgrade. In the drop-down list, find the option "Notify about reboot scheduling", uncheck the box with updates for other Microsoft programs and check the box next to "Postpone updates". Also, go to the "Choose how and when to get updates" heading and drag the slider to Off.
You can also disable Windows 10 update by preventing downloading boot files when connected to your wireless network. To do this, go to the "Start" - "Settings" - "Network and Internet". In the Wi-Fi tab, go to "Advanced options" and under the heading Limit connection drag the slider to "On."
