Enter “Services” in the search field and click on it.

Find “Windows Update” and open its properties.

Click on “Stop” and select “Startup Type” - “Disabled”

Then click “Apply.”

Now Windows Update stops working, so updates are no longer downloaded and they cannot be installed automatically. 

Here’s the second method.
It works only for Windows 10 Professional and Enterprise.

Enter “gpedit.msc” in the search field and click on it.

The local group policy editor window appears

Go to “Computer Configuration” - “Administrative Templates” - “Windows Components” - “Windows Update”

When you get there, open “Configure Automatic Updates” and set it as “Disabled,” then click “Apply”

Here’s the third method.

You can use free software to disable Windows 10 automatic update

I will show you how to do it with the example of this program, Win Updates Disabler.(you will find the link below in the description of this video) http://www.site2unblock.com/win-updat....

Start the program, and in the tab “Disable” check the box next to “Disable Windows Updates”; then click on “Apply Now” for the changes to take effect.

With the help of this program, you can also disable the firewall, Windows Defender and so on. You can turn everything on again if necessary in the tab “Enable”

And there is one last thing to say.

Just in case anything went wrong with isntalling an update or you just want to delete some of the updates you installed for your Windows 10, here is what you should do:

Right-click on the Start menu and select “Programs and Features.”

Then go to the tab “View Installed Updates.”

Sort them by installation date by clicking on “Installed On”.

Then right-click on one of the updates which you want to delete from the system and click on “Uninstall”.

Confirm it. Changes will take effect after the system restart. That is all for now. Thanks for watching. I hope this video will be useful for you. If you liked this video, click the Like button below and subscribe to our channel to see more.
