(ASK) How to permanently disable update in Windows 11 22H2? (Not reenabled after some time)

Do you have Win 11 Pro?

 

via GPO.
use Pro[+] Edition

Code:

set WA="HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate"
set AU="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU"
>nul 2>&1 reg delete %WA% /f
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetRestartWarningSchd /t REG_DWORD /d 0
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetActiveHours /t REG_DWORD /d 1
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v ActiveHoursStart /t REG_DWORD /d 5
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v ActiveHoursEnd /t REG_DWORD /d 23
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetAutoRestartNotificationConfig /t REG_DWORD /d 0
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetAutoRestartNotificationDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetAutoRestartRequiredNotificationDismissal /t REG_DWORD /d 0
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v SetUpdateNotificationLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %WA% /f /v UpdateNotificationLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 1
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v NoAutoUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d 1 || '0' to Allow Notification - '1' to no Check at all
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v AUOptions /t REG_DWORD /d 2
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v NoAUShutdownOption /t REG_DWORD /d 1
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v NoAUAsDefaultShutdownOption /t REG_DWORD /d 1
>nul 2>&1 REG ADD %AU% /f /v AlwaysAutoRebootAtScheduledTime /t REG_DWORD /d 0

this confirmed to work in the W10,11 Non-core edition
W10 Ltsc, etc etc etc

Want more?
Disable WU service. and the Backup Service
(i don't remember the name now, can look later)

 

Another option that takes much further measures
to block it completely instead just use GPO / Disable services

block connections in or out with windows firewall control

 

What is your opinion on this StopWinUpdates?

if you need stable windows 10 ltsc 2021 are the best

if you like windows 11 use enterprise or education sku ( activate with massgravel )

windows 11 home or pro bad control of update telemetry..

to convert windows 11 home or pro to higher sku change product key only

 

Maybe with a firewall?
I used Simplewall before but now I use NetLimiter which I think is a bit better.
I have it set to block everything so I get a popup every time something requests internet access and it asked if I want to allow Windows Update to connect to the internet.

Haven't had an issue with unwanted updates or driver installs since I started blocking it with firewall but I use reg tweaks too just in case.

 

What about this tool:

Look up it was already posted 7 months ago and he probably has done what he needed since then

 

HI, maybe this tool can help you
