Take your Control over Windows updates with StopUpdates10
Free!
Control Windows 10 updates however you like Most Windows 10 users are aware of the fact that
Microsoft seems to pick the worst times for downloading and installing Windows
Updates. A good example is those mornings when you're in a hurry to finish an
important project and turn on the PC only to be blindsided by Windows Updates,
which seem to take forever to finish (sometimes even requiring multiple PC
starts).
Microsoft has intentionally made it difficult to disable
Windows Update, and the best you can do is postpone it. However, you can use
StopUpdates10 to block this service.
Wrapped in a pleasant and intuitive interface, StopUpdates10
shows a large button that blocks Windows Updates as soon as it's clicked. This
doesn't take a long while. Also, if you later have second thoughts about your
decision and fear for the security of your computer, you can unblock Windows
Updates by pressing the same button.
Since Windows 10 updates are stopped, the operating system
will no longer upgrade itself by force. To do this, you have to manually check
for updates and allow it to work. Furthermore, the application deactivates
notifications that pop up on the screen whenever new Windows Updates are
available
