- Block Upgrade To Windows 11
A lot of people don't want to update Windows 10 to Windows 11 and the certainly don't want to be bombarded with pop ups trying to trick or force them into upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10. Lately Microsoft have started to force tricky ads about getting a free upgrade to Windows 11 and you have to decline or you run the risk of starting the Windows 11 upgrade process off. I will show you step by step on block and disabling these forced upgrade ads by Microsoft.
Open registry and navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
Add DWORD (32-bit) Value TargetReleaseVersion and give it a value data of 1
Then add a String Value called TargetReleaseVersionInfo and give it the version of Windows you want to stay on example 21H2
You can also set group policy if you are running Windows 10 Pro and above
Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update / Windows Update for Business
Double-click on Select the target Feature Update version in the right panel
Enable the feature
Version = Windows 10
Target Version for Feature Updates = 21H2 or version you want to stay on.
Now restart computer.

Great useful video, but it's a shame that this is even necessary. Microsoft truly does not care if it antagonizes it's users
Agreed. All this reveals the character and nature of this corporation.
I really don't think any tech giants care if they antagonize users and this will open profitable opportunities for less annoying options. I hope the less annoying ones gain traction as it seems to me that a lot of new technologies & processes are not user friendly and just plain aggravating.
Not sure if im going to eventually switch to linux full time or not. I suppose when i get my os ready, eventually, ill switch to it.
@@smileynetsmileynet7922 I switched to Linux about two years ago and haven't looked back. I set up dual boot for either the installed Win 10 or Linux (Ubuntu). One reason I keep Win 10 is that some printer drivers are not fully implemented in Linux. I keep all data on a separate data-only drive so it's available to both OSes. Very happy bunny!
@@hughoneill9929 So far i have dual boot. If it werent for school, id be using more of linux already. Unfortunately, i need windows 10 for school, which will last til wednesday. Im already using anything but that whenever possible. But id still like to increase it more.
I can see Microsoft embedding something in one of the monthly security patches that will look for these registry changes and "fix" them
well if i know the open source community good enough it wont take them long to track down these files, cuz they are also gonna be pollicies most likley and tell us which files to delete or change, as well as potetial files to deletd. either that or the will make a bat or exe file that will yeet their asses to the next dimension. or so we hope atleast
This is why I'll probably just not even allow security updates. I think I'd honestly rather get robbed of everything I have then be forced to upgrade to Windows 11. If we're ever forced off of Windows 10 completely and forced to use windows 11, I will just pull out my absolute last resort and install Linux instead
@@TheAwesomes2104 I suggest you start taking those Linux classes then because once October 2025 comes around you will no longer get security updates on windows 10
Hey britec09 brilliant work. Just be careful you don’t get bundled into a van and cable tied up in a warehouse by Microsoft.
😆😆😆
Check outside through your window every night before going to sleep and make sure to have an emergency siren system .
I remember when Microsoft used to do this as well with the Windows 10 upgrade back in 2016 on Windows 7 and 8.1
Really wish they would stop doing this
At least don't force it until June 2025.
THANK YOU!! I don't know the extent to which you re-visit comments in older videos, but this morning you saved my bacon, big time!! I did exactly what you talked about, opened my laptop after a weekend getaway and somehow triggered the Windows 11 download. I found your video, stepped thru it, and I have to ell you, it was just such an excellent feeling to look at my Windows Updates and see " You're up to date" after I was done! with
Nice one Brian, really needed this
Glad it helped
@@Britec09 I want to upgrade now, how do I unblock it?
@@himawarimai7497 My guess would be to delete the WindowsUpdate folder you created, since that will undo everything you put inside that folder as well. Although, take my advise with care since I'm not an expert.
Brilliant! I'm an old guy and not very technical but you instructions are clear and I never feel uncertain about
following them :) Many thanks, greatly appreciated by this dinosaur :)
Just when you think this channel can't get any better . . . . . . Bam! It does! Thank you Britec09!
This is why as a tech guy, I always have a Certain Versions/Builds of Windows 10 ISO in my back up in case of Microsoft invasion/purge... Made me miss the old simple days Win 98 to Win 7... Such a stress and a demand in life... Geezzz ..
Excellent! Thanks, Brian! I'll do this ASAP.
Great video. My laptop got really slow when it updated to Windows 11. I downgraded back to Windows 10, and it works much better. I started getting an update wanting me to update to Windows 11 again. This video was very helpful!
I didn't install optional feature updates.. I just allowed to do security updates. Local Group Policy is also very handy. Group Policy, Services & Registry Edit these are all I have learned from your channel Brian ❤️👌.
Excellent. On Home 10, 21H2, and did the Regedit method. Many, many thanks.
Me chilling with my windows 10 unsupported windows 11 pc
Nice
You can still install windows 11 using rufus and iso file.
@@shreddedpizza5276 I don't think anybody in their right mind (Other than a extremely niche group of users) would ever want to willingly upgrade to Windows 11 after they've spent more than 10 minutes on it
@@TheAwesomes2104 Yah. I completely agree. My PC upgraded on its own and I experienced nothing but misery from that day. Finally, I had enough and downgraded back to windows 10.
Nah, I’m chilling with WinXP on a PC that can handle Win11
This video is worth it. Thank you
I want to stay on Windows 10 21h2. It prompted me to update to Windows 11
you're a legend for figuring this out ! im so glad i stumbled across your video im glad that i finally stay on win 10 till it ends it's life span in 2025 then i plan to upgrade to linux to prevent microsoft from taking control over my pc god bless you good sir ! :)
Thanks this was much needed
You're welcome
or turn off TPM or secure boot. does the same thing as Windows 11 needs it to install
I needed this video several months ago...I relented and allowed my machine to be "upgraded" to Windows 11...have regretted it ever since.
@Linden Reaper Yes, but where's the fun in that. Linux doesn't have any deep dark secrets the user has to know to prevent the next update from munging the whole computer. There is no need to make videos like this one for Linux users. The videos of cats play today and will play tomorrow the same.
Best guide, straight to the point and finally I can stay on whatever version I wanted to
I prefer this way for computers that are used in a business setting. Although, I don't trust Microsoft to not overwrite the registry setting when doing 'security' updates for the target release version.
I remembered doing the registry setting thing and still got update ads. Maybe it is another pc but I really can't trust ms
This is very helpful as I've been getting a popup about the new version despite my older pc not "being compatible", and it was annoying since I wanted to stick with 10 anyways
This is really stupid of Microsoft to make users go through the process of blocking 11 than simply making it optional.
Good video.
Thank God I jumped to Linux.
My gaming laptop (ASUS TUF Gaming F17) and Lenovo IdeaPad 3 came with Windows 11. First thing I did was clone my Linux SSD onto both systems and adjust the host name for each system. I will NEVER use Windows again. Windows is a dumpster fire and Microsoft should be ashamed for the tactics they're promoting to get Windows 11 on PCs
Hope it works out on Linux
@@Britec09 It's working so far. PCSX2 works flawlessly.
Now I'm just testing out Steam...I honestly prefer PCSX2 (all my old PS2 games). Being able to run my favorite classics at 1080p is AWESOME!
@@StaceyAyodele windows have 1 operating system and they want to focus on only 1 system windows 11

@@koioo2 Ok
I allready did this a while ago, just because I don't see the point of updates to begin with. My computer works, my windows works, I don't need updates fixing what isn't broken.
Nice
security updates is what you need or any operating system need
Thank you for your help in the matter. My computer was ready to install win 11 and I was not about to let it happen. IDK why I even went for the suggestion, but I'm glad I was able to stop the full implementation.
For those thinking of switching to Linux, good, I have both Ubuntu and Win10. Win is still needing for school, and numerous other applications I use.
You're a like saver!!! I just got back from a moment away from my PC and it went into sleep mode, then I got ambushed by the pop up and it wouldn't let me out. I've been blocking the update since it was announced didn't think they would ambush me like that, hopefully now I don't need to worry about half my stuff breaking because of that useless update
I'm just running linux mint on a bunch of my machines and love it. Linux mint mate 19.3 on my old 32 bit machines, and xfc mint 20.3 on another 64 bit machine. They're stable and they run good. Running linux mint 20.3 on 3 of my other machines.
Did you install the BSOD[1] application for when you get homesick for Windows?
[1] BSOD AKA Blue Screen Of Death is a little program you can install on a Linux box that causes it to lock up at random times and show a blue screen.
@Linden Reaper Don't you miss the "treasure hunt" of looking for what setting the latest update messed up.
Very helpful and easy to follow. Thanks for info, appreciated since i am receiving an AiO Asus Zen 24'' Ryzen and didnt want anything to do with Win 11 ( already tested because the laptop i had did the AUTO thing= NO JOY to this experience ..), ended up installing Linuxmint 20.3.
Thank you so much for this registry tip! It really did wonders for my PC. It runs so much faster now. My Photoshop app always slowed down shutting down. Also when starting up it boots up so much faster and also when shutting down. Great! Thanks again!
Thank you! Can't believe a big company like Microsoft force users to update windows by these annoying pop up screen.
The method shown in the video did not stop the upgrading to Windows 11 on my laptop. My current Windows 10 version is 22H2, the same as the newest Windows 11 version. And the Windows 11 22H2 has been downloaded on my computer. How can I stop the upgrade? Thank you
revert back to 21h2
Great video. Thank you! But I have a question. You state I should select Key "DWORD 32-Bit". I also see a QWORD 64-bit option. Given that I am running "64-bit operating system, x64-based processor" should I still choose DWORD 32?
windows 10 today after many years of shadow building by way of windows-downdates.... is not as good as Win 7 was out of the box...
Hi, Brian good video. Thanks for your work on doing this. I wonder if this is happening to folks who updated to Windows 10 21H2? As I have Windows 10 21H1 and I don't get any type of messages mentioning to upgrade to Windows 11.
Like 12 years ago if you were a Windows 7 user, and you have automatic updates turned on, and you went to bed, you woke up the next day and you had Windows 10 installed. This is nothing like that.
"Windows 10 will be the final version of Windows. There will be no Windows 11." - Microsoft
Thanks for the vid. I know it sounds stupid, but if your PC / Laptop is not capable of being upgraded to Windows 11, you will not keep getting the prompts. I intend getting a new laptop sometime in the next 12 months I wont worry
That is correct
Challenge may be to find a new laptop which does not already run Windows 11. Look out for an older model sold with version 10, hopefully on discount
I will not actually have any choice as I usually buy a high quality gaming laptop
Thanks very much!! My PC used to have Windows 11 then I downgraded back to Windows 10, I've been seeing videos on youtube of people being forced to Windows 11, My PC runs VERYYY Slow with Windows 11 but very great with Windows 10, Thanks for the Tutorial!!
You misused the term "downgraded". Since Win-10 is better than Win-11, that is the direction that is an upgrade.
Yes but it is more positive to say "every version is better than the next".
Thanks I followed your steps, I do not want to accidently upgrade to 11 then have to downgrade back.
How about just turn off TPM in the bios? Can it block the upgrade since now the windows update said 'your pc is below minimum requirement'?
Very impressive. Thank you
Great video as well as. I skip the registry method. I simply follow the policy method to work perfectly. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you I thought I was never gonna be able to update again without downloading windows 11 w video
is it equivalent to define ProductVersion and give it a value of Windows 10 rather than define a variable TargetReleaseVersionInfo and define Windows 10 there?
Man, the lengths Microsoft forces its customers to go through, just to avoid a pointless OS update is staggering.
I don't worry about it though, Macrium Reflect can dump my unchanged Windows 10 system back on my SSD in less than 15 minutes.
I can recommend everyone to install the free version of Macrium Reflect. This software is magic.
I used it the other day I upgraded from an hdd to nvme and it worked great. The only trouble I had was registering for the download. I'm getting old.
@@abjectt5440 I feel ya. The registering process is more convoluted than it used to be, and needs to be.
I am considering buying a full version of the software just to support them, but I don't really need all the advanced features.
Did you also activate the boot menu option? It is a lifesaver.
Great. Thanks.
You're welcome!
One more time as always, thanks for great and important information.
Very Good
Thanks
Thanks for that, those are some great tips.
Thanks Brian for this information 👍👍
Great guide, thanks mate.
I bought new PC with win 11 pro and took me 2 days to reinstall to win 10. Now need to get rid of these popup nonsense.
You, saved my life. I was about to toss my pc in the lake because I'm so fed up with waking up to windows 11. Here sir, have a *cookie*
Quick and easy, amazing video as always.
Thanks so much, this was really helpful for me.
Does this work if the Windows 11 update has started downloading (and then one realizes that it is happening and pauses that)? Seems like I tried the gp edit and was able to run current Windows 10 updates but then the next time I went in to look for only Windows 10 updates it once again tried to continue with Windows 11 update.
i used the group policy method, so im just confused since this is my first time doing this. he stated at the end you wont receive certain updates except for security purposes. so is he talking about like basic network or cumulative updates needed every so now and then?
It works so well!!! Thank you for fixing my problems.
Amazing how you find this stuff ! Thank you Brian
Can you set it to stop all updates completely as that is what I am looking for?
I've noticed other videos indicating a third String Value with a name of 'ProductVersion' and a value of 'Windows 10'. Any thoughts on creating that entry? Windows 10 updates are currently (5/25/23) at 22H2. My new laptop is on 21H2 after I updated the Registry. Q. Will adding a 'ProductVersion' of 'Windows 10', keep me on Windows 10, AND allow my laptop to have the most current Windows 10 updates? I believe Windows 11 is 'sneaking' in under 22H2.
Do this and pause all other updates that pop up, even if they are for security whatnot. All it does is to download useless files to you C drive and clog it, couple gigabytes at a time. So even if you stayed on Windows 10 they can still fuck up your computer, sadly. Don't be surprised if your windows 11 or 12 decides to hide you c drive, like how new Android hides the data folder.
Thanks for this, hopefully my pc's will not be killed by the 'upgrade'!
Tanks a LOT for this!!!
Thanks for this .... 👍
Thank you so much!! 💙
Thank you kindly! As the brits say, cheers!
So Brian what if the version of 10 is updated to say for example 21H3 will that be stopped or is this just a way of stopping those reminders which fortunately I do not get for some reason except that one in Settings/ Update which just tells me my machine is capable of going to 11? It just seems to me it is getting quite ambiguous in what they are trying to do.
There is not a 21H3. 21 for 2021 H2 for July - December. Have you done manual check for Updates?
@@edwarddonnelly2937 Ho Edward I was speaking hypothetically when I mentioned 21H3 I didn't mean there was going to be a version. While they cannot seem to make up their minds it leaves one wondering where the next hit will be coming from😉
Edward I meant to type No Edaward😊
Great video! When are they going to lock 🔒 people out of software downloads and charge every month for 11 like office?
Excellent!!!!👏👏👏👏 thank you very much
Thank you for this video , clear and precise. Thanks,
Thanks for this it should help allot. I suspected that Widows would eventually start forcing or conning people into switching to Windows 11. I am not sure what the adoption rate has been for Win11 but considering you have to own a fairly new PC with TPM enabled to run it I imagine it's low. I haven't enabled the TPM on my MoBo I was hoping that by having TPM disabled it would discourage Windows from pushing a Win11 "upgrade" on me. I have a Linux PC I use as well for the last 5 years and plan to abandon Windows completely once Win 10 is no longer supported. Good Luck ppl!
Any registry hacks are usually disabled the next update you do on your Windows. So it may be valid for a few weeks or months but it's just a temp measure for sure.
Ideally you just break wuauserv so you don't receive updates. But you gotta break BITS as well, because that will repair wuauserv if the service is stopped or intentionally corrupted. All you do is open both services and enter junk data to their data fields. Make sure to back up the data so you can revert later, since there's no service that will repair BITS.
Big help thanks new subs here 😁
Got temporarily stuck half way through because I have Window 10 Home version, and had to watch another video about enabling group policy editor, but got there in the end.
Where did you watch the other video bud?
@@manuelavendano3891 Please excuse delay in replying. I only just saw your question, and by now I've long forgotten. Hope you get sorted.
What's the best method between turning off TPM in BIOS and using the Group policy? My two kids setups (Both B550) run win10 21H2, and I don't want them on win11, at least not yet. Does one method have advantages over the other or? (I do quite happily play in the BIOS/overclock etc).
Great job. Thanks👏
With Windows Pro does inserting this configuration in the Group Policy Editor automatically add the entry in the Registry to block updates or is it a case of just doing one or the other?
For me it is stil able to update to windows 11, any tips?
Brilliant brian,thankyou loads sir
I'd been getting notices to upgrade to Win 11 but I was clicking out and ignoring it. My PC was refusing to update my Graphics Drivers , "Pending Install of Windows 11". I discovered this when I was having issues with my AMD driver while gaming & I finally decided to update the driver. Sneaky Windows/MS lock nme out and causing issues while gaming. This video couldn't have come at a better time. I have no idea what I'll do when MS refuses to support Windows 10?
This didn’t work for me😢 I wonder if Microsoft has made an update that prevents this from working
You must have done something wrong because it works as of today, and it should.
Hey, Mr Britec09. How do you unblock windows 11 upgrade after using and following this video's steps to block it?
I am using home version windows 10.....How to delete the temp file that windows 11 is wanting to intsall??? Does it stay in a temp file somewhere??
Great information. Thanks. It is a shame that we cannot just click a damn button. Looking at your vid on Windows 11 to see if it might just be a good idea to update. Either way, thanks.
Nice video. Can I undo the process? by reversing the instructions. My system became unstable after messing with the registry. Thanks.
@Britec09 or ANYONE Please help, have windows 10 21h2 Home and only could do the registry editor way an went to updates an it didn't show that red text even after restarting... I think accidently did download the 22H2 update thinking it was another version of windows 10 of found out it was 11 but cant find it to delete it or what would it be called an which would you delete? Really really would appreciate help.
God Bless
I used the first method with registry editor and though I did everything correctly step by step it didn't work and bc I'm not on windows 10 pro I can't use the 2nd method
thx u are the best❤❤
Can you help me please? I did the same on your video but in my case, my windows is already 11 23H2, so I did that to stop build 24H2, but it didnt work for me, do you have any solution for that please?
What if the next Windows 10 security update undoes what we just did in Group Policy Editor (because not upgrading to Windows 11 is deemed a security issue), thus allowing Windows 11 to be installed anyway?
What if I have a large enterprise environment where there are multiple versions of Windows 10? Do I need to create separate policies for different versions?
The first screen you showed has a "decline offer" link at the bottom left. Am I missing something? Does this "decline" link stop being an option at some point?
Thank you it worked Great!
In my (probably frequent) case, I just bought a new PC, chosen because it had Windows 10 Pro.
But on 1st start, it asks a few things like region, language, keyboard, network connection, then says it will go to updates... with NO OPTION to skip!! No way to do anything else, no menu etc!!
After a few apparently benign "updates" it says it will install Windows 11; it doesn't tell if Home or Pro, but displays 3 paragraphs telling the supposed advantages of Win11, then the "Next" button, with no option to abort or skip, no menu, absolutely no way to escape.
So I tried the good old "Ctrl+Alt+Del", no response, it doesn't work anymore! so I did a hard abort via the On/Off hardware button.
But when I restart the PC, it immediately goes to the same page with the Update to Win11, the 3 §'s and the "Next" button.
Anyone can tell me how to get out? If no way I am ready to send back the new PC. It was for me just a way to save time, but by starting that way this will NOT be a time saver at all, my good old 2013 Latitude e6440 with its Windows 7 is not as slow as a super hardware crippled down by Windows 11.
