    Completely insane story. It has been talked about for 5 years and written millions of times, and still there is little.
    Even bears in the woods know, but people still don't know.
    That's the only thing that makes people different from bears?

  5. Not to sound rude, but you would've used the search function instead of wasting your time making this thread.

    I didn't think everyone should know everything.
    Of course not, it is even not possible, but the first thing could be a search engine. Whether on this page or Google Search, for example.
    It's just that every day, and for years, you can't just write the same thing, after all, it has actually been written if not millions of times then very many times, including in this forum and elsewhere.
    I believe you will agree that do not need to rewrite the same thing thousands of times over again, that is, for each person his personal article is not very sensible.
    If You have something specific, what You didn't understand, it's another thing. So, if You find tutorial, tried, but still not working and You yourself cannot find what's wrong, then ask and everyone is ready to help. But to write everything again for each person is not very wise, if it all has been alredy very well written before.

    There are indeed many ways to do this, I would recommend an easy to use, lightweight open-source tool:

    https:// github.com / DavidXanatos / wumgr

    It uses the native Windows Update Agent API

    Open Settings.
    Click on Update & Security.
    Click on Windows Update.
    Click the Advanced options button.
    Under the "Pause updates" sections, use the Pause until drop-down menu, and select the time range to disable automatic updates.

    Hope this helps.
