| 1428084 | 2016-11-01 03:42:00 | Im setting up a new laptop for someone . I need to COMPLETELY block all win10 updates once its setup. This laptop will be taken overseas for weeks on time. It has to work without any update issues when overseas , as it will be used for remote access, email etc. There is no wiggle room for any update issues, nor any allowance for startup/shutdown delays for Winupdates , that simply wont be tolerated by the user . Once the laptops back in Ak, then I would manually update it once a month & then turn off the auto updates again till next time. So I need a way to completely disable updates in 10, without any possibility of updates turning back on when away. I was thinking about simply disabling the update service . Ive never tried this long term on 10, Im just presuming it will do the trick (?) Any suggestions appreciated . Cheers |

| 1428085 | 2016-11-01 04:18:00 | The metered connection trick appears to work. Depending on if the Laptop is Home or Pro, you can also setup the group policy options. The metered Connection trick explained : stop-windows-10-from-automatically-updating-your-pc/ (www.cnet.com) To get it to work on a Ethernet connection requires a bit of reg editing ( link in thread posted) ,later on when updates can be done its only a case of changing a number from 1-2 or back again. What Does work for a while is the wushowhide.diagcab support.microsoft.com BUT it only looks and blocks at the time its run, so any new updates with different KB's will come through. Generally the ones that cause problems are Driver updates (as per my bleat thread in chat ) :D Edited: once you change the Permissions you can simply run some reg files complete instructions and reg file downloads, how-to-set-an-ethernet-connection-as-metered-in-windows (www.howtogeek.com) |

| 1428086 | 2016-11-01 18:55:00 | Just disabling the Windows Update service is much simpler/easier - though not sure if you have permissions to do it in Home edition. Re-enable it again when you do want to patch. |

| 1428087 | 2016-11-02 03:37:00 | Yup I had to use wushowhide, so the drivers for this Canon printer would stop updating. Because when it failed (it always failed), I couldnt get other updates That was the only thing I had to use wushowhide for. |

| 1428088 | 2016-11-04 06:02:00 | I disable auto updates in Group Policy. This enables me to update if & when I like, but Windows can't. | mzee (3324) | ||
