WIN 11 updates

Anyone have a sure fire way of turning these off, thanks :)

Trev,
This is how I disable windows updates on my 2 Astro laptops running Windows 10.
It’s the same procedure for Win11

I’ve done this for 6 years now and rarely connect my Astro laptops to the internet ( only for Astro software updates every year or so )

If it doesn’t work for Windows 11 you may have to go deeper into the registry

Just Google on line how to go to a more thorough method.

Thanks Martin, yeah I did that but it still ended up doing an update the next day as soon as I turned on the computer ?? :)

Hi Trevor,

While there is a lot of info online about disabling the updates via the registry or policy editor etc, it does appear that none work as a permanent solution & the updates will recommence after several weeks anyway. All you can really do is pause them for up to 5 weeks.

It is actually part of the M$ Licensing Agreement that you have to get updates without any additional notification!I pause the updates 5 weeks at a time & choose a quite period to run updates every 4 weeks or so, when I'm ready for them so they don't interfere with other activities.

Cheers,
Mark

I'll have to look into the W10 thing, mine pops up every time I take the thing out and want sharpcap working.
I should just run a pirated version, no nasty Windows pop ups (just other nasty third party pop ups unknown).
