Windows 10 Update Disabler

More often than not, automatic updates can assist you in maintaining your system and programs up to date. Unfortunately, with Windows 10 things tend to stand a bit differently and you can end up with updates you do not know about or that make changes you do not need or want. Windows 10 Update Disabler is a tiny command line tool designed to provide you control over the Automatic Update services that comes with the OS and prevent updates you do not need from being downloaded or installed on your system.

As the name suggests, the program works on Windows 10 and primarily addresses the Home and Pro editions, as these versions do not come with any means to control when and how the updates are delivered. Simply put, the application can provide you with the Enterprise Automatic Updates functionality.

You should bear in mind that the application can be installed and accessed from the Elevated command line. Make sure that you are launching it on a user profile that you know comes with Administrator rights.

It is important to note that the utility can be installed and removed with a simple command and that it does not include extra features or options. The idea behind the tool is that it disabled all scheduled tasks and Windows Update on the user login.

Moreover, it employs a more or less know system call that can check the current status of the Windows Update function and therefore, attempts to shut it down immediately. However, you should bear in mind that the app does not write or edit Registry values, which Windows 10 can easily overwrite.

In the eventuality that you grew tired of forced updates and the awkward times at which the operating system starts downloading them, then perhaps you can consider giving Windows 10 Update Disabler a try.
