Windows 10 updates. . .

Windows 10 doesn't make it easy to control update behaviour, but it can be done by Registry editing.

For everyone's convenience, I'll include the text one may paste into a .REG file that blocks all Windows 10 updates. I've also included other update behaviours, but in this message, they're disabled by a semi-colon at the beginning of each unwanted line. (It turns the line into an inactive comment.)

Note: The blank line following "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" is necessary.

; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Disable Auto Updates
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001

;Never check for updates (Not Recommended)
;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
;"AUOptions"=dword:00000001

;Check for updates but let me choose whether to downlod and install them
;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
;"AUOptions"=dword:00000002

;Download updates but let me choose whether to install them
;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
;"AUOptions"=dword:00000003

;Install updates automatically (Recommended)
;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
;"AUOptions"=dword:00000004

;Enable Auto Update behaviour selection in Control Panel
;[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
;"AUOptions"=dword:00000005
;
; Windows 10 Defaults
;[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
;[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
;
; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cheers, PW.

P.S. To use this .REG file one must be running as Administrator. (To alter HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.)
