    i think that NoAutoUpdate reg settings are not necessary... alone is not working, so why?
    Code:
    REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" /v "NoAutoUpdate" /D 1 /T REG_DWORD /F

    Why would you upload it to that site? It uses a downloader and Malwarebytes detected it as a Trojan.

    Thanks for posting the scripts contents tho...easy to throw into a batch file.

    @E_B_M, Try to read the previous page. I have already told about this. This script stops Windows from automatically checking for updates and downloading them but if you do manually check it will download updates automatically. So in conclusion, Windows will never check for updates unless you manually check yourself but the only disadvantage is that it starts downloading immediately.

    If you're seeing a downloader on mirror creator, that's a fault on your end.

    OK I changed the win10 check to: "wmic os get version|find /i "10.""
    It should be more tolerant of non-English versions now. Sorry non-English folks. My bad.

    All this script does is:
    1 - query version number
    2 - query reg key
    3 - stop wuauserv (windows update service) if it's running
    4 - change reg key

    It does literally what you're suggesting.

    @murphy78 Worked perfectly in My laptop with enterprise edition but did not on my desktop with pro. It shows automatic (recommended) in update and security

    It might take a while for the system to realize it's been disabled.
    Try rebooting if it doesn't seem to catch on.

    This will help avoid wasting even more data if you're on a capped connection, but I hope that it doesn't catch on as a way to prevent some specific updates as it's not really a solution for that. People would be blocking all updates which would leave a lot of users vulnerable to exploits and they'd also be missing important OS fixes.

    No, it won't. This does not gives us choice of updates to be installed but only stops Windows from checking for updates in the background. Once you manually check for updates, it will start downloading every update available.

    I disagree for the exact reason I just mentioned. Disabling all updates because you don't want one isn't the smart thing to do.
