stop windows update

 o stop automatic Windows updates in a simple and easy way, you can pause or disable updates temporarily. Note that completely disabling updates is not recommended for security reasons, but here are straightforward methods for Windows 10 or 11:

Method 1: Pause Updates via Settings

  1. Open Settings: Press Windows + I or click the Start menu and select the gear icon.
  2. Go to Updates: Navigate to Update & Security (Windows 10) or Windows Update (Windows 11).
  3. Pause Updates:
    • In Windows 10: Click Pause updates for 7 days or select a date under Advanced options to pause up to 35 days.
    • In Windows 11: Click Pause for 1 week or choose a longer period (up to 5 weeks) from the dropdown.
  4. Done: Updates will be paused until the selected date.

Method 2: Disable Automatic Updates via Services

  1. Open Services: Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter.
  2. Find Windows Update: Scroll to Windows Update in the list.
  3. Stop the Service:
    • Right-click Windows Update and select Properties.
    • Set Startup type to Disabled.
    • Click Stop if the service is running, then click OK.
  4. Done: Automatic updates are now disabled. To re-enable, set Startup type to Automatic later.

Method 3: Metered Connection (Wi-Fi Only)

  1. Open Settings: Press Windows + I.
  2. Go to Network: Navigate to Network & Internet > Wi-Fi.
  3. Set as Metered:
    • Click your Wi-Fi network, then toggle Set as metered connection to On.
  4. Done: Windows will limit updates on this network to save data.

Notes:

  • Security Risks: Pausing or disabling updates can leave your system vulnerable. Re-enable updates periodically to stay secure.
  • Temporary Solution: These methods are simple but may need reactivation after a set period or system changes.
  • Advanced Options: For permanent solutions, advanced methods like editing Group Policy or Registry exist but are more complex and not recommended for casual users.
