How to turn off automatic updates in Windows 10 permanently
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Windows updates are important, but sometimes they happen at inconvenient times. Windows 10 makes it possible to pause or disable automatic updates, giving you more control over when the updates occur. If you're using Windows 10 Home, you are only able to pause updates for up to 35 days. If you're using Windows 10 Pro, you are given the option to permanently disable automatic updates by editing your group policy. In this video, Mike will show you both ways of pausing and/or disabling updates on both Windows 10 Home and Pro.

NO ONE came here for a PAUSE of updates at all. WE WANT TO TURN THEM OFF PERIOD
This guy is the father I never had
Hahaha, thanks!!
@@mikerodrick5354 You're a fantastic teacher!
@Ed Kelly I don't know dude, all you have to do is skip to the last part. You are like those people who complain about ads when there's ad blocker, videos are made for all kinds of viewers that's why he explains that, otherwise people would be asking why they cannot disable it in the home version.
@Ed Kelly He didn't ramble on. Windows 10 is a maze of gooey weirdness, best to have an in depth explanation
Xdxdxdxd😂
Wow this is the best how to- tutorials I have ever seen. Even a person who never touched a computer in their lives can follow your step by step instructions . Kudus.
Thank you!!
I was downloading something that was 13gb and I left the computer to install it overnight and the update ruined the download
Extremely frustrating!
@@mikerodrick5354 Indeed, Mike Rodrick ! Very Frustrating.
Me too brother, I was almost done downloading a new game that took all day, then Windows automatically updated without me asking! Extremely frustrating.
The real instruction starts at 5.40.

Thank you!
Only for Pro users

thanks bro
no body should update any thing in ur computer i have a windows 2007 computer and it runs fine
I like my modern operating systems. Technology has changed quite a bit in 13 years. Always update your computer!
I hope you are connecting through a modern firewall or security appliance.
Amen. What the F can new systems do that the old ones can't because let's be honest, 99.999999 percent of people only watch movies, listen to music, and surf the net.
My Windows 7 PC runs better than my Windows 10 overall. If it wasn't for planned obsolescence I would never upgrade.
I bet it runs way better without bloatware causing your pc to run slow, or the update crashing and sucking up 100% cpu for weeks. Updates are bs.
First thing he should say is the most important thing for most users, and what's buried in the text: "If you're using Windows 10 Home, you are only able to pause updates for up to 35 days."
He is TOTALLY WRONG there you can turn off Updates in Windows 10 Home in about 1 minute or less.
Love this! I am one of those people who feels cursed with auto-updates always right in the middle of something vitally important, OR when I am trying to shut things down for sleepy time and forced to stare at a blue screen with an order: "Don't turn off your computer. (ie: YOU may NOT sleep until we are done with you!!)" Thanks very, very much.👍
So happy to help! Glad you enjoyed the video!
new update cause my computer can’t connect wifi.. “ no internet, secured”
Have you tried to uninstall the update? From the "no internet, secured" message, it would appear that you are connected to the access point, but the access point is not connected to the internet. I would troubleshoot the access point.
just use USB Ethernet feature on your smartphone
Update your wifi drivers
If that doesn't work, go to device manager and uninstall the current wi fi driver, restart your pc and it will automatically reinstall a fresh ome
My friend had the same problem but fixed it by resetting some some in the bios so check it online it might help
Thank you so much! I was getting that stupid and annoying 'Almost time to restart' dialog,which prevented me from controlling stuff like a car in a racing game. But this turned off the dialog as well! You're golden!
You're welcome!
This is a nice and clean tutorial.Nice work!!!It's the first tutorial I can follow while implementing the instructions in it
Thank you!!
the only one channel that i been back watching to disable permanently update of windows 10 after i format...thank's my men great teacher...
A windows update legit fucked up my fulltime business of streaming some products that I make. I had no idea what was going on with my camera, upload speed, etc and tried everything until someone said "roll back your windows update". That literally fixed all my technical issues, so now I want to disable that shit permanently. Thank you for this video.
You're welcome!
You still need the security updates.
Thank you so much! the 20H2 update has been messing with my screen for months! that really helped.
You're welcome, glad it helped!!
This was a great tutorial, especially for people who are a bit slower, like me, lol. It was easy to understand and the solution provided works like a charm.
Glad it helped!
Like you, Marvin, I have no idea how to do things like this. Other tutorial videos I've watched are helpful to a certain point, until I click on the next part and my screen is WAY different than the one in the video! After that, I'm totally lost. My dad used to tell me, "Rick, always remember, 'Some people are fast, some are half-fast.'" (read that out loud and you'll understand the joke)
@@muchkneaded It took me a while to get it, guess I'm truly "half-fast"!
Thank you ! I've been having issues with my laptop staying at 100% Disk Space for hours and basically being unusable. Was told to try disabling automatic updates and this worked!
Glad we could help!
I have never seen anyone explaining something related to windows so clear!! Thanks a lot man!By the way I subscribed…
finally my computer wont break because it was forced to update
thanks!
You're welcome!
Mr. Rodrick, you have GREATLY eased my mind! A friend recently "gifted" me a refurbished HP laptop, upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro. I know he meant well, but all I needed was a Windows system to download the Spooky2 Rife machine software. The Spooky2 generators run the Rife frequencies which need to run uninterrupted, sometimes 24/7 for 11 days! No wifi or ethernet connection necessary. In addition to permanently disabling automatic updates, I've learned how to turn off the wifi connection and setting the sleep mode to "Never." You,, sir, CLEARLY explained and demonstrated how to permanently disable automatic updates. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Excellent video, very concise. I'm turning them off permanently (Win 10 Pro) as after the last update (Aug 2022) my PC wouldn't re-boot and I tried everything to get get it back before re-installing from a partition backup. Even Windows 10 repair wouldn't work. Foolishly I allowed it to update again with exactly the same result so now I'm reinstalling the partition and this time turning them off permanently. I'm not even sure where my WIn10 licence number is and don't want to go through re-installing loads of software, some of which is licence protected over the internet and I may not be able to get the licence back again without paying exorbitant sums.
Every time I let Windows install the update for Windows 10, suddenly my sound card no longer works, and I'm forced to spend hours rolling back the system to the previous version of Windows 10. The say it's a huge pain in the @ would be an understatement. So far I've tried several tutorials on how to prevent the Windows 10 update, and NONE of them have worked. Here goes attempt number 7.
I hope it works. What version of Windows 10 are you running (Home or Pro)? What sound card do you have? I would suggest pausing the updates, then troubleshooting the sound card / drivers.
@@mikerodrick5354: I'm back again. Sorry I didn't see your response from last time. I was able to pause the update for a period of time. In fact I believe I've paused it a couple of times since I posted my original comment here, but here we are again with it trying to install the latest version of Windows 10. I think I'm at the end of my Windows 10 pause allowances, as now the longest it allows me to pause updates in the custom settings is eight days from now.
I have a Dell XPS 8910 Desktop computer, and the couple of times in the past where it did update to the newest Windows 10, and screwed up my sound card, I'd call Dell tech support, and they'd try everything to fix the problem, but ultimately there was never any solution other than rolling it back to the previous version of Windows 10. Even tech support wasn't able to find a solution that worked and played well with the latest version of 10. I am running Windows 10 Home Edition. I'm no expert and there are a few things listed under my "Sound, video and game controllers" drop down, but I do believe my sound card is listed as "High Definition Audio Device." From doing some research tonight, it seems my sound card make and model installed from Dell is listed as:
Device Name: Realtek Audio
Hardware ID: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0899&SUBSYS_1028072A&REV_1000
I don't know if this tells you anything, but it sure doesn't me.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated, as I now have only eight days to figure something out.
Thanks
Same for me except it's my keyboard that stops working
yes I even had a back up drive that the updates made useless along with my 4 other drives. win 10 is garbage with updates I am now just turning them off by editing group policy or thru services. Yes it messed with my sound card also. I reinstalled the drivers. I have win pro. Still cannot get my steering wheel to work though so going back to previous version and disabling updates period.
Open Up RegEdit. Go HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Policies, Microsoft, Windows.
You then need to creat a new KEY (folder). Right Click on the Windows folder. Select New, Key. Name is EXACTLY (WindowsUpdate) with out the ().
In the new WindowsUpdate folder create another folder the same way. Right click. Select New, Key. Call it EXACTLY (AU) without the ().
In the AU folder click (on the right hand window this time. Select New, DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it EXACTLY (NoAutoUpdate) without the ().
Now double click on the new NoAutoUpdate and change the Value data to 1.
Restart your computer for it to take effect.
Note that you should still do some of the updates manually or at least run a good AV with firewall to keep your PC safe.
Believe me my friend if you keep making this videos your gonna be the the next "linus" your doing it so good am pretty sure you will get a 1 million subs in no time don't give up my friend I hope you will remember this comment when you reach 10 million subs
I will!! Thanks for the kind words!!!!
Thank you for the video!Windows makes very difficult to locate where to disable updates permanently. Why not make it easy for customers add it to the same section where they have the 7 day option? Instead you have to dig through layers and layers of folders and sub folders.😾
You're welcome! While there are some good use cases for disabling updates, in general, we want to update our systems. There are known vulnerabilities that can be patched against. I think this is why Microsoft doesn't make it as easy as flipping a switch.
The new Microsoft privacy issues want them to own your machine and data. You are in control, not Microsoft. We aren't renting software.
Jokes on them, a series of bugs left over from an Android Emulator has left my computer literally unupdatable for months.
That didn't work for me. They just ignore my dates and sneak updates in while I'm asleep listening to white noise so I can sleep through the noise neighbors in the early AM.
What version of Windows 10 are you running?
@@mikerodrick5354 That worked for me for a year but now suddenly even with that disabled somehow my computer is restarting applying updates with that checked. I have windows 10 pro 10.0 18363 Build 18363
When it automatically restarted awhile ago a screen come up that read something about having to complete my device but I saw a "remind me later" and clicked that. Do you know why my computer is suddenly restarting with some kind of update with that disabled?
@@JustMe-ec2ph i think that happened to all, because i can't disable anything anymore. Use other OS, let's make microsoft bankrupt
@@JustMe-ec2ph did you try this? Right clicking on properties and selecting disabled on the startup type

This is just lovely work. Thank you for your help. i have lost my structural design licence because of this Auto Update many times. thank you
You're welcome!
Thanks for the tutorial.
Microsoft has made their Windows operating system increasingly more user-UNfriendly and complicated to use for a long time now.
Some things I can figure out by 'tinkering around,' others I can't.
I wish more youtube tutorials were like yours: You speak slowly and lucidly with great intonation Your directions are very very easy to understand. You don't spit or mumble like many other youtube video creators do...nor do you have an annoying or unintelligible voice like many youtube video creators.
You should do this more often...
This is such a great tutorial, very clear, very precise and so easy to follow for a computer noob like me. Thanks a bunch Mike, you're the MVP!
Thanks, glad to help!!
This is one of the best videos on RUclips, a perfect presentation.
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
the hundred twenty three dislikes are windows update technicians employees or a mix of ppl that Loves those lovely inconvenient times that windows decides to update and restart the pc
🤣
Thank you for this! What I have been looking for for months. Now I can sleep in peace knowing Microsoft can't do updates, especially to Winblows 11.
Really informative. Thank you sir. ❤️👍🏻
You're welcome!
I like u so much. U showed to people like u understanding them all who are know nothing about it thank you
You saved my internet packets .... Thanks buddy
Happy to help!
Thank you so much. Security is the concern. Microsoft updates for Aug 2021 causesd my computer to turn off in the middle of my work. Thought i needed a new computer. So i rolled back/uninstalled that update and all is fine, but it continue to want to update. So your instructions really help. When you have an older model computers these updates are not needed only security. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for the very detailed explanation, much appreciated
Thanks a bunch, when I updated my system, my photoshop stopped saving anything. This will help for sure.
You're welcome, glad it will help!
Thank you so much! This was super helpful also, easy to understand and follow.
You're welcome!
Idk if any of u guys are having the same problem but every day its asking for updates! Its saying update and shut down so its impossible to turn my laptop off with out it doing the update. Then after I did the update it got more laggy! A few days later (still doing the updates every night) not working on youtube or any games :/
I'm sorry you are having trouble. I would check the event log and see if there are any warnings or errors. It sounds like you might have bigger issues. Have you run a full virus scan lately? Also might check how many programs are set to run automatically at startup.
Thanks alot man!
Helped me to get rid of this long standing problem!
❣️
You're welcome!!
A life-saving tutorial. Thank you so much😊
Great, you would think, but (a Big But) somehow windows calls home & Microsoft overrides your group policy setting & it gets turned back on again. So you have to keep on top of it. I have been doing this since windows 10 was released & automatic update keeps coming back.
Hmm, I'll have to look into that. I've noticed the major updates do reset a lot of things unfortunately.
NOTE: Not only do updates keep your system healthy by incorporating the latest improvements, they also block you from doing things yourself when they want to sell you something to do it for you. Just sayin...
Thank you sir!
OMG, this is such a big help to my IT career. Cheers to Mike for this amazing tutorial.
Thank you for actually helping me with my problem of not wanting to install windows 11 :D
Thanks for saving my hotspot bandwidth!!!
You're welcome!
I already knew the first one but I like the way you explain things and are helping others so I like! bummer I chose home and not pro when building lmao
Thanks!
Just let us know earlier you can't stop updates
Should you turn it off? We experience lag then after updating the device come back normal...
I would not recommend turning them off. Sometimes it is necessary, like when developing an app and you don't want the machine config to change. But only temporarily, you should turn them back on when possible. If you want more control, you can disable them and then check manually, but it is still important to check. Without updates, we put our systems at unnecessary risk. Some of the cumulative updates can take a while in the first reboot, but should go back to normal after that.
This was really helpful and straight forward so thank you so much for the video👍🏻👍🏻
You're welcome!
Heya Mike. My video card went out on my laptop. No cash to fix since the epidemic. Every time I get an update I have to rollback my PC because it wants to update graphics drivers. The last time my sound also stopped working and everything on my PC got super slow. This really helped a lot. At least I can disable it for 35 days each time. Thanks again.
Sorry to hear that. Glad this was able to help!!
DO this and you can actually turn updates off for good. HE is wrong when he said you can't on home.
Open Up RegEdit. Go HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Policies, Microsoft, Windows.
You then need to creat a new KEY (folder). Right Click on the Windows folder. Select New, Key. Name is EXACTLY (WindowsUpdate) with out the ().
In the new WindowsUpdate folder create another folder the same way. Right click. Select New, Key. Call it EXACTLY (AU) without the ().
In the AU folder click (on the right hand window this time. Select New, DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it EXACTLY (NoAutoUpdate) without the ().
Now double click on the new NoAutoUpdate and change the Value data to 1.

this was actually informative, thanks
You are amazing..sir....my respected..... thank you so much
I am a certified professional ( and sometimes corporate) Instructor
This video ..IS…. an example of a mature pro level instructor delivery ORGANIZED , CLEAR and Concise information.
Thank you sir… very nicely done
Everyone in the office had the endless boot cycle crap happen because of a stupid update. Now time to prevent this from happening again
Hope this helps.
I need to block feature update in windows update indefinitely, and be in control with my EPM tool.
Feature updates are optional, you do not need to install them as long as the version of Windows 10 is still supported. In an enterprise environment, you should be using update management, like WSUS. Consider moving to Windows 10 LTSC, which only gets feature updates every 2-3 years, instead of every 6 months. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/
so what I came to is: if ou want to make it permanent on windows 10 home, you'll have to update the 35 days of not updating aproximately once a month, since there are no group polic tools available.
Since every non-security related update of windows from the past year or so just made it fatter (take up more disc space) and added useless functions that I'd never use, on the other hand, find a pain in the a$$ to deal with. Like when they first added the "news and interests" tab or whatever it was called, without the deactivate option. That was a royal pain in my butt for sure.
I'm running Windows 10 on my mac and updates started causing boot problems. So...solution; disable all updates.
That's one way to go. Just make sure you're still getting security patches!
That's nice, but how do i disable them on the home version?
man that guy really puts the hard work in but theres just so much tech/pc/it channels all around youtube that its very hard for people to land in here, beast channel +sub
We really appreciate that! It easy to get lost in a sea of IT training.
This guy is windows god itself
Thanks! That was a very helpful video.
is There a WAY to Turn OFF Windows 10 Updates for Good Without the GPEDIT ???
Because my Brother Doesnt Have GPEDIT on his Windows 10 Laptop & his Updates are Screwing up Everything...
Brilliant video. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Thank you. step by step with explanation and easily followed. 👍👍👍
MORE POWER TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM, CONTINUE HELPING PEOPLE WITH DIFFICULTIES IN COMPUTERS. sorry all caps. that just shows how excited I am to discover this video. :)
You're welcome, love the enthusiasm!!
Thanks man it really helped me 👍👍
You're welcome!
Nicely explained. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
This video does not show how to turn off Automatic update for Windows 10 home. It only shows how to pause it. You can turn it off by stopping and disabling "windows update" service under services app. If you don’t want it to come back, under Recovery tab change first failure to “take no action” and set Reset fail count after to zero days.
I haven't tried that method, hope it works. Microsoft has a tendency to turn the service back on the next update cycle, even when you disable it.
Thanks for this! I switched back over from Ubuntu to Windows a few years back because I wanted to start working with a lot of Adobe software. Windows is a pain in the a**.
Last night I had a lot of documents open because I was working on something. I was looking forward to getting back to work this morning and I realized that the computer had restarted. Dude, its like, if I were in the office and some idiot were to come over and restart my computer without asking, I'd give them a knuckle sandwich. Why does it make it ok for Windows to restart you computer without asking?
Thank You Very much.
You are welcome!
Thanx a lot.. I found this very helpful
This video is informative, thanks
Thank you! Very, very useful.
Thnx..You Helped a Lot
Glad it helped
You're welcome!
I loved the feature in Windows 7 Pro, where I could opt to be notified of updates & then see lists of priority & optional updates, & choose the ones I wanted to install (like all the security updates). Is there any way to configure updates in Windows 10 so I get the security updates but not all the other "features" (like Edge Chromium)?
Not really. You can pause updates on Windows 10 Home, and disable them on Pro and Enterprise versions.
This is really helpful and knowledgeable video thank you for such type of content really appreciate your work
Very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
I used "System Configuration" and disabled "Windows Update" from the "Services" list.
Worked for me.
Windows will eventually enable the service again!
There is a program called StopUpdates10. It is supposed to stop all updates for as long as you want. It is free at: greatis stopupdates10. Do a virustotal scan before using. Use at your own risk. I am using Win7 Pro because of Microsofts Telemetry. I have not found a way to completely stop Telemetry. The only thing to do is to enter every url W10 tries to connect into my hardware routers block list. LMK if you know how to completely stop all Telemetry.
Amazing tutorial, perfect!
Thanks!!
Great material, thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you.
Just Perfect. Thank You! ❤️
You're welcome!
THANKYOU ITPROTV its alot help
You're welcome!
This only works for windows professional, there is another video on RUclips that shows how to do it for Windows home.
I understand the concept behind updates but the fact Microsoft all but forces them on the home version is enraging. I have attempted to turn them off and last night they went through anyway and now my perfectly working laptop is worthless and won't load beyond the startup screen. I paid 1200$ for this computer and I should decide if I want to update the software or not. When a computer becomes a little bit older, it isn't made to run the most recent version of OS software so updates can destroy them. Ridiculous.
my windows pro keeps insisting on updating, regardless of me turning it off.
the pause updates button does not exist on my windows 10
What version of Windows 10 are you running?
Thanks it really helps me
You're welcome!
I rolled back to Windows 10 Home but I daily get notifications to Update Windows 11
Perfect video. Thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
I do believe there's a way to install 'Group Policy Editor' on Windows Home edition.
This was excellent.
Thank you!
Sir , which screen recorder u have used to make this video sir....🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
We recorded this in the ITProTV studios! I use ZoomIt from Microsoft for zooming and screen annotation.
Thanks for a clear and concise tutorial.
*Add a reminder to your Windows 10 Calendar app. Remind yourself to close all apps and check for updates.*
Good suggestion, while we might want to disable automatic updates, it is still important to apply them. Just do it when it's convenient for you :)
Very Well Explained!
Thanks!
