How to turn off Windows 10 Updates

     You can do this by disabling the Windows Update Service.

1. Control Panel
2. Administrative Tools
3. Go to and launch Services
4. Scroll down and double click on Windows Update
5. On startup type select disable in the drop down list.
6. Under Service Status click on stop.
7. Click Apply then OK.

     Instead of saying running it should be blank.

That will stop Windows Update until you re-enable it.

    To re-enable Windows Update just go to Services and instead of disable, select automatic delayed start and then start the service.

Note:

On a normal shutdown the update stays off but if for some reason the computer restarts or you select to restart the computer instead of just shut down you have to go and re-disable the windows update service.
