Refuse to update your Windows version? Yeah, we are talking about THAT version. Fortunately, there's some easy ways you could do it: 1) Using Local Group Policy Editor Press Win + R Type gpedit.msc and press Enter. Go to: Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → Manage end user experience Open Configure Automatic Updates. Set it to Disabled. Click Apply → OK. Restart your PC. *If gpedit.msc doesn't exist, you're probably using Windows Home. 2) Open Terminal (Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog) Type services.msc and press Enter. Scroll and search for Windows Update in the list Double-click to open its Properties. Change the Startup type to Disabled. *Optional: If the Service status says Running, click Stop. *Supposedly, this should be permanent solution, but its automatically re-enabled when user power up their PC again... Shutdown your PC and open again, the PC will give a reminder on the Scan Update not being activated *If your PC is currently only have these 3 options "Sleep", "Update And Restart", "Update and Shutdown" You can use CMD command to bypass it shutdown /s /t 0 If you planned to only delay it, just open the Setting and search for Update, there will be an option to remind again (until it didn't) And this goes without saying, if you want an ultimate solution. Just have the PC stay off the internet access.
