Although you are probably already aware, I will point it out anyway for other users: different distributions usually have different package managers. For example, Arch Linux has the "pacman" command, all Debian-based distributions have the "apt" command, etc.

I did notice this with my different Linux distros.

That's where I need to refresh my usage.

You can also disable the Windows Update Service.

In the search bar enter "services.msc" (no quotes), scroll down and double-click "Windows Update". In the "Startup type" drop-down menu, select "disabled" and then hit "Stop".

This Is the end result:

So, you might already know this, but Windows 10 will automatically download and install an update on your computer whether you like it or not. There isn't just a simple button that says "Disable automatic updates". I will be teaching you two easy ways to disable it.

Method 1: easier method

If you chose option 2 then you will get a notification in Notification Center letting you know that updates are available. I really hope that this could help you! Also, give me feedback of what I could to improve my tutorial's in the future.


P.S. If you have any other methods, please drop them below!

ill try both methods,

If your Windows "edition" supports the GPE, disable the updates from there.

Also, set your Internet connection to "Metered connection" by navigating as follows:

(1). Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks.
(2). Then go to: Wi-Fi network > Properties > (turn on) Set as metered connection.

This does not limit your Internet connectivity, but more so gives the Impression that you have "limited" resources to update/download, hence Windows Updates takes this as such and does not allow the updates to Install.

You're most welcome.

In the event all the above fail (which I'm very confident they won't), hit the Registry and disable Windows Updates as follows.

* In the Run menu, enter regedit
* Navigate to this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
* Right-click the Windows folder and select New > Key
* Name the key (you've just created) as AU
* Right-click the AU key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value
* Give the key the name of AUOptions
* Lastly, double-click the AUOptionskey and give It a value of 2

Given the Registry Is a critical part of the OS, I strongly suggest creating a backup by using It's "Export" feature.
