How to finally stop Windows 10 updates and upgrades?

I like updates! I like new free updates!
But it’s really frustrating to me, that Windows 10 breaks my work and reboots my PC to install their update/upgrades.
Unfortunately, there is no way to fully stop updating using the Windows interface.

Why StopUpdates10?
Early, you can stop Windows update service to block updates.
But it does not work with latest build of Windows 10.
Windows 10 is able to restore Windows update quietly in the background using a special “WAAS Medic” service and some scheduled tasks.

This why I created a small utility StopUpdates10 that gets back control over updates to me.

StopUpdates10 permanently stops Windows updates!

StopUpdates10 blocks executing of the Windows upgrade processes and polls the state of Windows update service. If the service starts, StopUpdates10 stops it again.

What is new in StopUpdates10 2.0?

Added Updates Guard.

StopUpdates Guard

Updates Guard is a system service, working in the background.
It polls an activity of Windows update service. If Updates Guard detects the change of Windows Update service (Wuauserv”), it will disable it.
Updates Guard is started automatically. It takes a little bit of system resources.

  • Omaroof Shady

    Thanks A Million ,F’ing Microsoft And Thier Updates!

  • freekarol

    What about blocking just upgrading? I want to update my Windows but I don’t want to upgrade it to Spring Creators Update yet.

  • José Bravo

    Muchas gracias amigo. Excelente trabajo que nos hará más fácil tratar con el siempre díscolo Windows… 😉

  • Mateito

    me sale este mensaje en Windows 10

    windows update is partially blocked

    y no bloquea las actualizaciones.

  • Mateito

    por cierto en windows 7 funciona muy bien y en windows 8.1

  • ozvic

    This! If possible can you stop big blue screen advising the current version of Windows 10 is stopping support, but allow other updates if necessary. For whatever reason, my current computer can’t run 1709 (like Windows on some old Macbook Pros).

  • Dmitrys

    This is End-of-Service screen.
    It is blocked by StopUpdates10 1.0.6.
    Let me know if you still have this issue with version 10.0.6.

  • Александр

    Спасибо !

  • Robert

    At last,,, a simple bit of software that will stop those never ending updates and that screen as Ozvic described warning you that their support of Windows 1607 will end in April. When in fact, they’ve stated it’ll be Jan 2023. I’ve had that 1709 Creators update try to load soooo many times and fail. Even wushohide doesn’t do the trick. It’s become just like a virus where I can’t use my laptop for hours and hours. So,,, well done and a big hip hip hooray to you Dmitrys.
    Of course,,, if I see updates like security patches, Defender updates, then I’ll open the gates,,, for a while. I’m really glad I found your software and look forward to a bit of peace from Micro-get on everyone’s nerves-soft.

    Is this compatible with Windows 10 v1803?

  • Dmitrys

    Yes. It is compatible.

  • ozzy700

    очень полезная щука и работает класно

    but what if I want to run Windows Update manually time to time ?

  • Dmitrys

    You can allow updates when it is convenient for you and get your Windows updated.
    Updates are not useless. But the problem is in the force updating by Microsoft.

  • oldoc

    hello. does stopupdates10 disables windows update service ? it is still running on my machines (tried on 2 PC). i tried the “check for update button” and update occured ?

  • Kavindu Lokuge

    Thank you very much 🙂

  • Dmitrys

    Yes. It disables the service.
    You can control it via settings.
    If you want to allow Windows Store Apps updates – allow the Windows updates service.

  • Jack Edwards

    I hope this works. Everything else I’ve tried worked for a few weeks but then Microsoft found a way to sneak in and screw up my computer.

    How long will this work if I install it and just leave it?

  • Dmitrys

    It will work forever.

  • Jack Edwards

    Thank you!

  • Dmitrys

    You can translate it or wait when someone will translate it.
