Take your Control over Windows 11/10/8/7 updates with StopUpdates10 Free!
How to finally stop Windows 10 updates and upgrades?
Updates are important for your safety. It is suggested you to get your Windows always updated.
But it's really frustrating to me, that Windows 10 interrupts my work and makes me reboot my PC to install their update/upgrades. Unfortunately, there is no way to control Windows updating using the Windows interface.
In the old days of Windows 7, there was an ability to control updates using a Windows control panel applet.
In Windows 10 days this option has been removed.
Why is it bad?
Windows update does really slow down of your PC.
What if you need to complete an urgent work or you just want to play games, but windows update stops you from doing so by slowing down your system.
Windows Update can break your work and pleasure of playing games.
You open your laptop just to send a message, but it starts with a black screen: "Upgrading Windows...".
You have no time to wait for finishing updates. But you can't stop it!
You think, that you know a good trick, how to fix it. It just need to stop Widnows update service and create some special registry keys.
It does not work!
Microsoft prevents disabling Windows updates using several methods:
Special scheduled task (USOClient,Windows10Upgrade, UpdateAssistant).
Hidden service "WAAS Medic".
That's why this powerful utility StopUpdates10 was created to get back control over updates.

What's the difference between 'stop updates' and 'pause updates'?
Stopping updates prevents downloading and installing any updates.
It blocks the Windows update service.
Pausing updates only block installing, not downloading, updates.
Microsoft allows you to pause updates for limited number of days and only once.
You can not pause updates again after resuming.
StopUpdates10 removes limitations for pausing updates:
You can pause updates until up to 2099 year.
You can pause and resume updates as many times as you want.
You can set different pause date and time for Feature updates and for Quality updates.
What's the difference between Feature updates and Quality updates?
Feature update is a new version of Windows. It is installed as an upgrade to the existing version with changing the build number.
Feature update includes new features and updates.
Quality update contains only cumulative updates to the existing version without new features.
How StopUpdates10 works?
StopUpdates10 creates the policy registry keys to block updates.
It is for Windows 7-8. Microsoft ignores these policies in the latest Windows 10 versions.
StopUpdates10 blocks execution of several processes used for updating, related to Windows Upgrade Assistant, Windows as a Service Medic.
StopUpdates10 blocks Windows Update service using an own service: Updates Guard. Also, it blocks Windows Update Medic Service ("WaasMedicSvc"), because the 'Medic' service can restore updates.

StopUpdates10 vs Windows Updates Blocker
Windows Updates Blocker service protection removes "writing" access to the service registry keys for all. It can be removed easily by Windows restore updates tools or by antivirus. StopUpdates10 monitors Windows update service in the background and automatically fix broken protection.
Windows 7-8 - Disable "End of Support" & "End of Service" screens
This screen is caused by Microsoft update. I think that, it is not good to interrupt startup with full screen notifications. The special scheduled task is created to open "EOSNotify.exe" at startup, before Windows explorer is starting. You can click "Remind me later" or "Don't ask me again" to quit from this screen. But you can not be sure that you will not see it again. Read more info HERE
