Windows 11 and 10 offers less UI control over the updating behavior of the operating system than previous versions of Windows , There is no option to turn off Windows Updates using the Control Panel or Settings app in Windows 11 & 10, it checks for updates automatically and install any updates they find, whether you like it or not. This new feature is actually pretty convenient for most users. If you want control over the update process you can disable the Windows Update service . This requires that you open the Services manager, locate the service and change its startup parameter and status. You would then have to enable the service again whenever you want the operating system to check for updates (It does not look so easy).
Windows Update Blocker is a freeware that helps you to completely disable or enable Automatic Updates on your Windows system , with just a click of the button . This utility is portable, which means that you are no longer required to go through the installation process and no leftovers will remain on the HDD after its removal. if you place the program file to an external data device, you make it possible to take Windows Update Blocker everywhere with you and use it on any computer you come in contact with, who has things configured just right, and doesn’t want to take the chance that an update might mess up their system. This utility is for that person.
How it works

thank you for this windows update blocker, my windows 10 never asked for an update
An excellent program that works just flawlessly. Automatized the updating process with scheduler task, a batch script along with NirCmd, so everything is turning on and checking for updates automatically but not download anything, just checking and letting me choose what update to install, once a month. Couldn’t be happier.
Very best tool, thanks.
I have installed the previous version 1.5 which works fine. Can I overwrite with the new version 1.6 or delete the previous version? What is new in this new version? Thanks.
@Mario
I have been using it for years and have had no problems.
Check the Protect Service Setting option and apply the settings.
Thanks for the program.
why after starting sordum I still have the power button update and shut down or update and restart?

To whoever created this… I love you. I’ve tried everything to disable updates, using the registry, the powershell… nothing worked but this did the trick.
Probably one of the best apps I have ever downloaded. Why on earth Microsoft keep tinkering about will always baffle me. Cannot remember an update that did not cause totally unnecessary and unexpected issues. Surely Microsoft could at least have the common courtesy to properly check updates before they are inflicted on us? Just set up v2004 how I want it and can now keep it. Good work guy and thank you.
Thank you for this. Windows is becoming like apple with those stupid updates
Oh this is so good. This is how Windows 10 should of been in the first place! Microsoft needs to remake Windows 10 where you can actually turn off updates like in 7/8/8.1.
Microsoft are just morons who thinks its a good idea to take away the ability to turn off updates. Well f. you, Microsoft! And f. that! Beat it, Microsoft, We have update blockers and theres nothing you can do about it, Now go fuck yourself Microsoft!
This is what I’m seeing on my 4k monitor (3840×2160) at 150% scaling: Web Link …
Thank you , it is "do once" Application
Thanks for your work on this great program! 🙂
Is this ‘do once’ or does it need to be run each time Win 10 starts? At least for me, that’s when Win 10 normally seems to reactivate it’s attempts to update.
HOLY crap batman! no more stupid win 10 updates! right im going back to win 10 1709 version for good now!,,yeeehhaaa,i could kiss you guys! but heres a man hug instead!
Thank you very much. Solved well. Come back to update as before. Very good
Yes , I use it on my Windows 10 Home Single Language
