Ok found something... go to settings and type Device Installation Settings That will bring up device driver installation options including not to automatically install them. Not sure if it just changes same reg settings mentioned in thread. If it does, well at least theres a GUI for it rather than messing with scripts and registry.
nice find regardless if mentioned. First I seen this, thanks -ed- going to quote you in the tweaks thread, think thats a good place for this.
A halfway house for people with bandwidth or usage limitations. On a clean install, within 10 mins, win 10 starts downloading updates and they can be several GB. So, I did this, gpedit.msc administrative components-windows (or store?) components-windows updates In one entry (configure automatic updates), I enabled it and then configured it to `notify download and to notify install' (number 4). This does help as updates are not downloaded and installed automatically. I do not So far this works, but this is a huge problem for me personally in win 10.
hi murphy78 is there anyway we can run it silently without those prompt yes and no? need make auto install usb here ... installation get screw by windows update that restart by it own .. lol Thanks
@cyberloner: Here's a modified script to disable AU. Works just like Murphy's but without user input. Copy and paste to Notepad, then save as .bat file. Code: @echo off FOR /f "tokens=4-5 delims=.

This script requires Windows 10 !!! echo. echo ============================================================ goto Quit :CheckAdmin FSUTIL dirty query %systemdrive% >nul if %errorlevel% EQU 0 goto AUStatus echo Set UAC = CreateObject("Shell.Application") > "%TEMP%\getadmin.vbs" echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd", "/c ""%~f0 %*""", "", "runas", 1 >> "%TEMP%\getadmin.vbs" cscript.exe /nologo "%TEMP%\getadmin.vbs" EXIT /B :AUStatus cd /d "%~dp0" set KEY_NAME="HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" set VALUE_NAME="NoAutoUpdate" FOR /f "usebackq tokens=3*" %%A in (`REG QUERY %KEY_NAME% /v %VALUE_NAME% 2^>nul`) do ( set VAR=%%A ) if "%VAR%" == "0x1" ( echo ============================================================ echo. echo Automatic Updates are currently DISABLED. echo. echo ============================================================ goto Quit ) else ( echo ============================================================ echo. echo Automatic Updates are currently ENABLED. echo. echo ============================================================ echo. echo Disabling... please wait. net stop wuauserv >nul 2>&1 REG ADD %KEY_NAME% /v %VALUE_NAME% /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f >nul ping -n 4 127.0.0.1 >nul ) cls goto AUStatus :Quit echo. echo Closing in 5 seconds... ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 >nul EXIT
Same as Reg setting [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching] "SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000 0 = "No, let me choose what to do - Never install driver software from Windows Update" 1 = "Yes, do this automatically (recommended)" and I found that it does sqwat. nVidia installed driver anyways.
It's the same as leaving all of you window's wide open with a big orange sign that says, "I'm not at home so go ahead and steal stuff out of my house". It's everyone own choise but still, always make sure your system is up-to-date and above all your Antivirus, Internet Security and firewall is on the latest version.
Does enterprise version have a different Windows Update module or is there just a registry setting that we can modify in Windows pro to match enterprise control Windows Update.

Hah, you didn't read carefully. It's some sort of download manager. You gotta make sure you don't run an exe program guys. It's just a 7z file with the txt inside. You can copy text from front page and rename to blah.cmd and run it.
Feedback to Windows 10 Automatic Updates Enable/Disable script Hello murphy78 I tried your script. My PC is new installed and has at the time no network connection. On the first pass of the script I get the message "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Windows Update \ AU" was not found. A check of the Reg. confirmed this. The script then says that Automatic Updates are enabled and then asks it, if I want to block this? I answer with No: everything stays the same and I get the the same message. I answer yes: and the Reg Key is generated and the script works properly!
The first time you run the script it gives that message because the key doesn't exist. It's a bug. I could get around with with a better detection algorithm, but alas it's not super important.
