StopUpdates10

Most Windows 10 users are aware of the fact that Microsoft seems to pick the worst times for downloading and installing Windows Updates. A good example is those mornings when you're in a hurry to finish an important project and turn on the PC only to be blindsided by Windows Updates, which seem to take forever to finish (sometimes even requiring multiple PC starts).

Microsoft has intentionally made it difficult to disable Windows Update, and the best you can do is postpone it. However, you can use StopUpdates10 to block this service.

Wrapped in a pleasant and intuitive interface, StopUpdates10 shows a large button that blocks Windows Updates as soon as it's clicked. This doesn't take a long while. Also, if you later have second thoughts about your decision and fear for the security of your computer, you can unblock Windows Updates by pressing the same button.

Since Windows 10 updates are stopped, the operating system will no longer upgrade itself by force. To do this, you have to manually check for updates and allow it to work. The application deactivates notifications that pop up on the screen whenever new Windows Updates are available.
