Additional notes:
1- What made me make this tool is to disable updates while store apps download/install works
2- I don't recommend disabling windows update service while it will be needed while installing some programs that will need to install needed updates if they not included in the system, also some Visual C++ do the same
3- This tool don't replace any system files, it's all about editing registry/Disabling services/editing permissions
4- If you will use this tool to disable updates you must use it to enable it before using any other tools, Same with other tools
5- If you have any suggestions or feedback let me know, all ideas are welcome​

 

We can all ready stop windows 10 updates.

I am not going to use a tool that i don't trust.

And why are you using this in a VM and not a Windows environment seems a bit fishy.

 

I do all my tests in VM ( Clean install without any programs )

This tool as been said don't replace any files in the system, and it contain only one file that being used to edit service permissions

Plus i been making portable programs and repacks for 10 years, so you can ask all the people who trust me why they do all these years

Also majorgeeks already tested it, if they don't trust it, they wont share it

But for sure if you don't trust it then don't use it, there's plenty of other tools that disables updates

 

It's not that i trusted the program it self.It's just i did not trust the link you provided.It looked kinda fishy to me that is why i reported it so it could get changed to a majorgeeks link.

 

I don't use facebook due to the latest issues.

 

Updated to V1.5 :
Improved/Cleaned the script:
- Since each system have it's scenario now each a few versions will have it's commands ( For example Windows Update Medic Service only exist in Win10 1803 )
- I won't update it again unless there's something worth updating

Sorry about the fast update but it had to be done

 

Updated to V1.9 :
- Added option Set Windows Defender (Security) to Update Every 6 hours (Win8.1/Win10)
- Added option Disable or Enable Automatic Device Driver Installation
- Now you will be asked to restart after you enable or disable any option
- Removed Disable Windows Update Service since it's not needed ( If you used it from older version, you need to enable it from same older version or you can keep using this version if you want) since the point is to disable windows updates without effecting Store/Defender/Edge
- Now disabling update will auto hide Windows Update page in settings so it will now open Windows Defender (Security) instead and settings wont auto close anymore in Win10 1703 or newer (This option not present in older versions) as a workground for old Win10 Builds you can search for the settings you want or you can create a shortcut like ms-settings:windowsdefender more info here https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com...iding-pages-in-settings-with-windows-10-1703/
- Added Disable or Enable Auto Downloading Language Related Components (Win10)

Hi Baltagy - I have run StopWinUpdates on several laptops with the latest windows 10 updates installed. When I attempt to re-activate windows updates, I am prompted with the WindowsUpdate screen however it is blank. This has happened on several of the laptops and a couple of desktops however re-running the app with the enable options does not fix the blank WindowsUpdate screen. How can I fix this? BTW thanks for helping us put a stop to automatic updates.
