It seems like a lost battle, but we won't stop fighting. The mandatory update profile in Windows 10 hasn't changed, and that continues to give users headaches. Slowly, the new 1903 build is arriving on computers, with the ever-present risk of breaking something in the process. If you want to block Windows 10 updates for a longer time than Microsoft allows, then it's not a bad idea to download a copy of StopWinUpdates and turn the situation in your favor.
Windows as a service. Cursed be who decided to implement that idea. Microsoft can flirt with near a billion dollars all it wants, but that doesn't mean its product users are satisfied. With almost four years on the market, Windows 10 still feels like “a work in progress”, and Redmond worsens the situation by prioritizing irrelevant features for users. To that we must add increases in memory consumption and disk space. Windows 10 is more bloated than ever, and there's no limit in sight. That's when StopWinUpdates steps in.
How to block Windows 10 updates
A fundamental step is to block Windows 10 updates, and that's the job of StopWinUpdates, an application developed by Baltagy, from the famous My Digital Life forum. In total, StopWinUpdates presents five options: Block Windows Update and all its associated modules, disable automatic app updates in the Store (including those that come with the operating system), allow or deny the update check in Windows Defender every six hours, disable automatic driver updates (useful for some graphics cards), and prevent automatic map downloads.
Once you apply the changes and restart the equipment, you'll notice that the Windows Update section in the settings menu disappears completely. Want to undo the changes? No problem: Run StopWinUpdates again, enable Windows Update, and restart. The same applies to the rest of the settings.
We've tested StopWinUpdates with Windows 10 1809, and we can confirm it works. Baltagy also reports on My Digital Life that his application works without issues on Windows 10 1903. How long will it last? We have no idea, but when it comes to blocking Windows 10 updates, we'll take whatever we can.
