Wow, I thought I had disabled Updates, I didn't realize that there was so much more. Thanks for the info. You're videos are the best help videos I've found. You explain each step of the way in simple terms. Thank you.
THANK YOU!!! So tired of having to roll back to the previous version because the newest version of Windows 10 completely messes up my computer's awesome sound. The newest version makes it sound like everything is playing through a tin can. Absolutely no bass at all. Every tech support rep I've had try to trouble shoot this problem comes up empty handed and ends up just rolling back to the previous version of Windows 10, which solves the problem immediately. Thanks to you, I won't have to go through that hell again.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Here's my story: I kept clicking "remind me in an hour" for the update notifications, because I didn't want to update it when I was doing homework. Over an hour later, I hear my PC beeping. I check - Windows 10 is rebooting. WTH. Then I wait a second, and it turns out, it's preparing the Creators Update. Then it tries to install it. The installation screen had awful resolution, even though Windows already knows I use a 1050p monitor. Then I wait for the system to finish. But guess what? After half an hour with just 8% done, the system just says "I give up!" and it restores my old session in my previous version of Windows. That is just asinine. I know my PC was old, still having the Vista Home Premium Identification code, but the hardware has been upgraded specifically to meet W10's demands! The worst part, I couldn't find a way to disable it altogether without installing third party software, because Windows didn't present me an option to disable updates. Seriously. That's why I needed this video. Either it's going to work, or I'm downgrading to Windows 7. Even if Microsoft ditches updates for SP2 or whatever in 2022, I'm still not upgrading. Windows 10 is a disaster. EDIT: 1050p, not 1080p. Also, Home Premium, not Ultimate Also, years later I ended up not downgrading. :\ If I am to change the OS now, I'll go for Linux
Vexxtor Shrek I didn't do it. The computer just failed to update and did the previous session thing automatically. I guess they took the lesson from the OSX Kernel Panic.
Windows update service can be disabled by deleting their associated .dll files. Here's how: Open services through Task manager Find the BITS and wuauserv services and disable them Open windows\system32\ Find qmgr.dll and wuaueng.dll Take ownership of these files using properties and move these files to another disk Now those services will never run. If you want to enable them again, transfer the .dll files back to the system32 folder. Note: In case you lose these files you cannot use dll files from another version of windows like windows 7 or 8. Instead you will have to repair the windows on the computer or reinstall it.
"Windows Updates are essential to keeping your computer running smoothly" suuuuure.................. both my laptops no longer have working brightness control windows update keeps my pc running as smooth as a corral reef...... not to mention the driver updates that break everything
Just want to thank you for making this video. I've gone through months of updates, downdates, and multiple programs and Microsoft help people, and NONE of them helped as much as you did!
THANK YOU. I absolutely love this video! This is the best complete disable. I have never ever used windows update in my life and everything worked fine. All I had to do was regular driver updates and clean up.
When I opened up my new Win10 laptop straight out of the box, it immediately started Windows updates. It started at 1345 and took 1 hour to download. From 1445 until 1830 it was installing the updates at a snails pace On restart it fell back into the Recovery Mode, as it wouldn`t boot to Windows, So using Recovery mode I eventually got it back running, not forgetting to disable Wi-Fi to stop this updating all over again. On that day the data usage recorded was 8.2Gb Glad I found this very helpful video - brilliant Windows updates are a curse !
Two years ago I started using Windows 10. Thought to myself, "Finally". Then watching a movie right in the middle of it, and installed updates, then after 20 minutes it started playing movie again. Installed Windows 7 and forgot it. Then last year started reading how to stop the spyware and delay updates. So I did all the setting, and worked fine, until...Got delayed updates two weeks ago, and here we go again. Every update brakes my Dell laser printer drivers. Chrome became almost unusable, had to reinstall. So I thought a reinstall was due. Reinstalled it, and it took me straight to microsoft saying my version of Windows 10 was out of date. Installed update and nothing works as before. I am so, so I'm sick of it, I just installed Windows Vista Ultimate, and can not believe how fast my machine is! If I have to disconnect from the internet I'm done with forced updates, and legal spyware, and legal junk ware!
Ok i feel you, litterally everytime I do something I have to check the windows update settings and usually its downloading updates, so i have to go in services disable two things and when it sometimes installs it always DESTROYS MY MOTHERFUCKING MICROPHONE AND I CANT USE IT. THEN I HAVE TO REINSTALL WINDOWS. I am so mad about windows updates. I would install linux or something but i'm a fucking gamer, so i'm trapped in this motherfucking idiotic operating system that ruins my microphone and lags me by auto-updating.
It's a smooth running OS but got the worst updating system ever known to man in the last thirty years ! even their option ; go back to a restore point doesn't work anymore ,their knew quarterly updates wipe some of their dll out making impossible to use system restore anymore ! So their windows stay stable for 3 months forcing you most of the time to goto formatting route and losing all your datta its worst than a foreign country cyber attack to your secured pc's ! For me its a criminal act from Microsoft should have a government class action serve to them to fix their updates , for their defense they say it's the consumers fault not being knowledgeable to load their buggy updates like we should all be computer analysts to use their OS !
Smooth running windows dont force me to restart my PC at random time every few days while eating up my RAM by always updating unimportant stuff on the background.

Greetings to you as well Britec. I lost a full days work in three different Graphic Design programs, about 12 different pallets, that I was working on at the time. Went to have lunch and when I came back, everything lost forever. Now I have to start over! Getting used to it, but still sick and tired! I performed every one of your workarounds just to make it stick!!! Keep in mind people, ALWAYS, make sure you have a Very Good and Dependable security software program installed on your computer, if you do these things. You should always have good security monitoring either way.
In version 1803, no matter how you try to disable windows update, ( even disable the update orchestrator task scheduler, services or group policy ), it still re enabling after pc reboot or turn on pc. Note: update orchestrator services ( Usosvc ) no longer can be disabled anymore.
S e o n n You're right. It's trying to prompt me to update again. I absolutely hate it. Three things might happen when you update: 1 It's quick and over. 2 it forces you to take it NOW - right when you need it. And it then takes a very long time. 3 It crashes your operating system and to have to restore. It's Russian Roulette every time!
You are fighting a losing battle. Win 10 is a hopelessly bloated, complex dinosaur and Microsoft will go to great lengths to get their way with your computer. Switch to Linux.
Well switched to Apple. You don’t have forced updates down your throat, the only problem is if you do update, you will have a difficult time going back.
THANK YOU! You were very thorough and clear. I appreciate it. I'm so glad I am not the only one outraged by the constant Windows 10 updates. I don't know why Microsoft won't change this. But it's good to know that there are other people out there who really enjoy Windows 7 like I do.
In the same company, bro. I loath MS!! I started with them with Win98 and went up; and each time they had a "good" (ie reasonable) OS, like XP they had to come next with an awful version (like Vista), then good version Win7, then again awful Win8 and/or Win10. I wish I had an alternative (albeit not crazy about Apple/ios)
Even if you failed some updates in Windows 7 the computer does not hang on/ or the blue screen. Windows 10 on the other hand, each update makes the computer slow, bod and others. Makes me reinstall again and again.
@@erikl2144 this time they broke that pattern, with another bad version like windows 11, they stopped good versions after windows 7, windows 10 is a good version too, but you have to stop the updates nowadays, because they ruin the PC.
Perfect! I tried 3 different ways and it kept updating on it's own every 12-24hrs. Followed your steps and whalah! It's been 36hrs now and so far so good! Thank You! I think turning on metered connection was the trick. @4:00
They use "Windows 10 Update Facilitation Service (osrss)" now. And it has the highest authorization that even administrators accounts cannot override. Win10 itself just acting like malware now.
I tried a different video and it didn’t work, but I followed this one and it worked 100%! It was very easy to follow and now my laptop won’t randomly update. Thanks!
No matter what method you use to keep it from updating, it will find a way to turn itself on. You need to check these settings every week and turn them off, you'll find that Windows Update turns itself on in the services.
There is a way past that too. The way I finally got it to stop forever was by disabling the update service in services.msc change it to disbaled and the restarts to 9999 in the other tab.
oh my god thank you so much i couldnt pause the update as i already paused it for a week and i didnt have enough space to install the update phew thanks so much!!!! :D
Windows Update screwed over my Lenovo Laptop. Typing this on my Macbook Pro. Thanks for this video, I'm hoping that it will permanently put an end to these pointless updates.
Funny, I was on the phone with Microsoft for 2 hours just for the rep to tell me disabling updates couldn't be done! So I thank you Britec09 for your many Windows tutorials which been helping me out for years😊
Literally every fucking time. It took me hours to figure out how to get audio back after an update. Not even headphones would work, realtek itself just vanished.
Thank you much. Quite comprehensive and well explained, good work. I tried to cancel Win10 updates before unsuccessfully, hope this works. Because MS sucks big time, and Win10 updates suck, each update destroying completely my computer, and taking me days (!) to restore back (if I even can), not to mention one time even wiping out all (and I mean all, including my files). So I have files backups and each update I restore back to a previous date (or to original date, meaning a complete reset), what a pain in the rear. And if I can I am about to cancel Win10 updates forever, I mean FOREVER, permanently! What a pain of a lousy company.
Omg thank you soooooo much windows keeps installing cumulative update for 1903 and make my computer really slow and disabling bluetooth and keep having to use system restore but no need anymore. Thank You!!!!!!!!
Metered connection trick works very well (on WiFi and Ethernet connections) and is the easiest option without completely turning off updates permanently. You can still manually download the updates which will show up as available but require your input before downloading (also tells you the size of the download).
I tried this - along with every other method (services, group policy etc). And I can confirm, windows has somehow attempted to update and has given me BSOD AGAIN because the driver update. This is my first ever PC and I can't even get it to work for more than 3 days without it f**king up! And windows 7 is not compatible with my system, I don't know what to do!
Thanks Britec for this. Shame is that we have to do this. A Windows system should be clean and in full control of the user not MS. I chose to stay with Windows 7. But will use this for the future when the time comes.
Waoooo you are a lifesaver buddy. Windows creator update is very aggressive and just fails to update every single time no matter what. (Windows failed to configure some windows components reverting to previous version) Bothering me for over a year now but its over thanks to you.
Windows 10 is a silent update. It swallowed your data like it need it to breath. Every time update it eat 3+ gb(probably more) data. Wtf? Now this auto update can f**k off for good. Thanks for this video. Really help me a lot.
I bought a new computer and I was wondering why it was sooo slow because every time I open a program I have to wait 100 hours then I realized that the update installer was on NOW I DISABLED IT (PS. I’m on 1703 and I’m will not upgrade to 1803 NEVER) And my computer is running smoothly even the start up is fast THANK YOU!
If they are not going to get these updates right they should give everybody the option to OPT OUT. For them to totally hose my system with their bugs is unacceptable. I am surprised some lawyer hasn't already taken Microsoft to court over this crap.
You know what. Windows makes it very difficult and confusing to disable updates. If you want to delete a program or disable anything ....no problem...but Windows Update is made very difficult for you to stop it. When things like this happen, it starts make me thinking is there more to this then just simple updates. With all the conspiracy which we all hear about, it really just gets me thinking.....thank you for your video.
Even though I followed the steps, even with the recovery tab, eventually the update service comes back on and it's set to manual even though I never bothered with it beforehand. Is there a way to really fix that issue? I mainly use 1709.
Windows 10 is ridiculous... I purchased Windows 8 and all of a sudden it updated to windows 10 without me telling it to. Thanks for the updates disabling methods.
Thanks Brian :-D That's a lot of trouble just to say no :-( i tend to stop services and (if i have to) delete the files and backups. What windows can't find, it can't restore or run. Yes i'm horrible lol, i lack patience now. A good task manager is your frend :)
7:32 I get a message saying "The user account you are operating under does not have permission to disable this task" . Even though I run task scheduler as an admin
I'm logged in as an administrator however task scheduler says I'm unable to disable the update orchestrator, I don't have permission. How can you elevate above an admin?
I got problem with the service. Idk why, but the options start and stop for windows update / delivery optimization are greyed out. Can someone help me? It is so annoying with these updates especially delivery optimization.
my exact problem, cant click on anything anymore its all grayed out. only thing that has kept the update gremlins away has been staying on Metered Connection
Thank you, sir. Great videos. On Task Scheduler it won't let me disable UpdateAssistant. "The user account you are operating under does not have permission to disable this task". And that's AFTER the tutorial on how to get full control of "your" PC. Anything I try to change, it asks for a password and none of my passwords work. This thing is a mystery inside an enigma inside a malware. Anyway....thank you again.
I tried turning off updates on services before and somehow didn't work, so my windows still updates and restarts pc without asking me. And I'm thinking if none of these work at this point, i'm gonna find a sledgehammer and smash my PC..
Hi. LOL. I just had to put this comment. I really feel what you are going through. I have felt like that a very long time everytime there is a windows update, some of my applications gets stuck! PS. if you;ve come to the point of smashing your pc, please get somebody to video it and publish it in you tube.
Thanks for that. I tried delaying updates, but forget when that runs out, but can usually tell when it's due to start again, as my PC starts to slow down. When I allowed the updates to go ahead, this always resulted in my PC crashing and loads of error messages, so I had to reset it, which then delted all my downloaded apps and wasted hours of time. Therefore the updates don't work. Plus I have anti virus, so don't need anything else.
I feel I have no say what the OS does these days, it restarts according it's own will regardless of what settings I have used. Until now I've been relatively happy to leave the services running because I could update when I wanted, but now that the end-user settings have no effect anymore, I'm just going to disable the services, edit group policy, delete scheduled tasks, make wifi metered and add 1 MB monthly limit, and so forth. These forced restarts significantly lower my willingness to pay money for this piece of crap.
I didn't really have any problems with windows until the latest build. 18362 randomly fails to shut down properly, the start bar would just lock up and startup problems are common. Even installing the OS came with problems as they force you to use an outlook account now. Physically unplugging the patch cable works but you must do this before the prompts and it does seem silly to lock people into a MS account. Anyway, many thanks for the instructions, all applied.
This is the reason that i stopped using win 10 there is no virus protection for the stuff that comes from win 10 by the very description of a virus is what win 10 is doing here is the rub i own the computer i should be able to do with it as i want this is my workings not for some one to reach in and turn off software i install i am is the process of converting all the computers i have to any thing but win system they have lost me and probably many others
This was very helpful. The latest window update is bonkers...it REMOVES and Disables my Blutooth and ruins some usb connections...I NEVER have seen this in my life. They really need to fix things BEFORE release.
Brian, I feel hijacked with win 10. I need a computer for my work I cannot have updates runing. I'll this hope will help. I already deleted all tasks. Thax for great vid

Windows update service can be disabled by deleting their associated .dll files.
Here's how:
Open services through Task manager
Find the BITS and wuauserv services and disable them
Open windows\system32\
Find qmgr.dll and wuaueng.dll
Take ownership of these files using properties and move these files to another disk
Now those services will never run.
If you want to enable them again, transfer the .dll files back to the system32 folder.
Note: In case you lose these files you cannot use dll files from another version of windows like windows 7 or 8.
Instead you will have to repair the windows on the computer or reinstall it.

Oh my God.. My pc start running away after I applied all these settings.. Thanks so much mate.. You were amazing ❤️
Every now and then i come back to this video, and always end up with a nice feeling of success !. Thanks again !
In version 1803, no matter how you try to disable windows update, ( even disable the update orchestrator task scheduler, services or group policy ), it still re enabling after pc reboot or turn on pc. Note: update orchestrator services ( Usosvc ) no longer can be disabled anymore.
S e o n n You're right. It's trying to prompt me to update again. I absolutely hate it.
Three things might happen when you update:
1 It's quick and over.
2 it forces you to take it NOW - right when you need it. And it then takes a very long time.
3 It crashes your operating system and to have to restore.
It's Russian Roulette every time!
John Pentony 4. Its drive your cpu usage and temp like hell
You are fighting a losing battle. Win 10 is a hopelessly bloated, complex dinosaur and Microsoft will go to great lengths to get their way with your computer. Switch to Linux.
dang is there any way that we can permanently disable this update? everytime my laptop is updating it slows down my performance
Well switched to Apple. You don’t have forced updates down your throat, the only problem is if you do update, you will have a difficult time going back.
I have to watch this video everytime I install windows on a computer, thanks a lot my friend, you have helped quite a lot these years
Good presentation with nicely paced voice tempo. So much so, the Presenter even mentions meticulous details of using Capitals in files naming.
THANK U. Just did this. A Win 10 update overnight stopped our printers working. Roll Back and now OK, and no more updates.
THANK YOU! You were very thorough and clear. I appreciate it.
I'm so glad I am not the only one outraged by the constant Windows 10 updates. I don't know why Microsoft won't change this. But it's good to know that there are other people out there who really enjoy Windows 7 like I do.
In the same company, bro. I loath MS!! I started with them with Win98 and went up; and each time they had a "good" (ie reasonable) OS, like XP they had to come next with an awful version (like Vista), then good version Win7, then again awful Win8 and/or Win10. I wish I had an alternative (albeit not crazy about Apple/ios)
Even if you failed some updates in Windows 7 the computer does not hang on/ or the blue screen. Windows 10 on the other hand, each update makes the computer slow, bod and others. Makes me reinstall again and again.
me too.
@@erikl2144 this time they broke that pattern, with another bad version like windows 11, they stopped good versions after windows 7, windows 10 is a good version too, but you have to stop the updates nowadays, because they ruin the PC.
Perfect! I tried 3 different ways and it kept updating on it's own every 12-24hrs. Followed your steps and whalah! It's been 36hrs now and so far so good! Thank You! I think turning on metered connection was the trick. @4:00
They use "Windows 10 Update Facilitation Service (osrss)" now.
And it has the highest authorization that even administrators accounts cannot override.
Win10 itself just acting like malware now.
I would pay for a way to disable this OSRSS infection.
I suppose only the Enterprise versions can disable that?
@@simp-slayer imusing enterprise still cannot be disable with admin priveledge
Man screw this company, they ruin perfectly working products with their data snooping bullshit.
@@simp-slayer also im making new bootable windows 8.1 but i cant install it wew.
I tried a different video and it didn’t work, but I followed this one and it worked 100%! It was very easy to follow and now my laptop won’t randomly update. Thanks!
Give it time and windows will switch everything back on.
*Windows updates make my pc run slower*
Because it's Malware!
Its happening with everyone. Windows is S**t
Same.
They do that so you spend more $$$ upgrading.
Same with how Phones will get slow as fuck over time even If you don't do anything to fuck them up
Same dude. It’s ridiculous. My computers constantly crash because of the stupid updates popping up in the background at any given time.
“Hey man this is Meek, this is my friend Corg and we are here to help you remove Windows update.”
got a chuckle from me 😅
*You're a legend mate !* Thanks for your very competent advice.
No matter what method you use to keep it from updating, it will find a way to turn itself on. You need to check these settings every week and turn them off, you'll find that Windows Update turns itself on in the services.
Agreed
There is a way past that too. The way I finally got it to stop forever was by disabling the update service in services.msc change it to disbaled and the restarts to 9999 in the other tab.
And whilst you're at it, cripple that damned Cortana spyware as well.
oh my god thank you so much i couldnt pause the update as i already paused it for a week and i didnt have enough space to install the update phew thanks so much!!!! :D
Windows 10 Be like
" Your PC is free from VIRUSES so your system needs an UPDATE "
Windows Update screwed over my Lenovo Laptop. Typing this on my Macbook Pro. Thanks for this video, I'm hoping that it will permanently put an end to these pointless updates.
Funny, I was on the phone with Microsoft for 2 hours just for the rep to tell me disabling updates couldn't be done! So I thank you Britec09 for your many Windows tutorials which been helping me out for years😊
I just subscribed to because you prevented me from buying another computer because last one was destroyed by windows updates.Thank you!
Every time Windows 10 updates it causes some sort of headache-creating malfunction of my computer, eats up hours of my time. GRRRRRRR
Literally every fucking time. It took me hours to figure out how to get audio back after an update. Not even headphones would work, realtek itself just vanished.
Thank you much. Quite comprehensive and well explained, good work. I tried to cancel Win10 updates before unsuccessfully, hope this works. Because MS sucks big time, and Win10 updates suck, each update destroying completely my computer, and taking me days (!) to restore back (if I even can), not to mention one time even wiping out all (and I mean all, including my files). So I have files backups and each update I restore back to a previous date (or to original date, meaning a complete reset), what a pain in the rear. And if I can I am about to cancel Win10 updates forever, I mean FOREVER, permanently! What a pain of a lousy company.
Thank you so much! Now i can enjoy windows 10 😄
Thank you so much brother! Windows 10 wasted all my data updating even after I stopped it the last time.
microsoft must understand that we want a rock-solid desktop OS. not a mobile/tablet style OS!
I wish Microsoft stop with the updates and realize their update **** your computer up every time!!
Omg thank you soooooo much windows keeps installing cumulative update for 1903 and make my computer really slow and disabling bluetooth and keep having to use system restore but no need anymore. Thank You!!!!!!!!
Metered connection trick works very well (on WiFi and Ethernet connections) and is the easiest option without completely turning off updates permanently. You can still manually download the updates which will show up as available but require your input before downloading (also tells you the size of the download).
Thanks for the tip! 👍
I thought you can't set metered on Ethernet connections.
I tried this - along with every other method (services, group policy etc). And I can confirm, windows has somehow attempted to update and has given me BSOD AGAIN because the driver update.
This is my first ever PC and I can't even get it to work for more than 3 days without it f**king up!
And windows 7 is not compatible with my system, I don't know what to do!
@@YoItsM0 I feel you totally I'm absolutely LIVID
A brand new computer shouldn't need updates. It's programmed to load your computer down with BS crap. Thanks for helping me STOP Windows Update
having to do all this just to save my OS from getting destroyed by updates fills me with so much hate.
Thanks! I finally stop the Windows Updates for a while because I need to do some works and I don’t want to get my PC restarted.
Thanks Britec for this. Shame is that we have to do this. A Windows system should be clean and in full control of the user not MS. I chose to stay with Windows 7. But will use this for the future when the time comes.
that's correct.
Clear, to the point, useful, lovely accent.
And, for the record, it worked! :D
Windows XP is the best and the most legendary Windows version imo
windows 7 for me. too bad most the high end PC (motherboard) , didn't allow to install windows 7 and lower.
Waoooo you are a lifesaver buddy.
Windows creator update is very aggressive and just fails to update every single time no matter what. (Windows failed to configure some windows components reverting to previous version)
Bothering me for over a year now but its over thanks to you.
And that's why the pirated version of Windows is better than the original ahahhaha...
U got that right XD
Pirated is not updating right?
I have the pirated version and its still trying to make me update LOL
@@airsofttrooper08 same here hahaha
Lol
Always liked and subscribed. Your tutorials are the most comprehensive and concise. Thank you very much.
It's not making it better, it creates more problems. I'm on Linux now.
I would switch too, but Linux can't run a lot of the games I play on Windows.
I guess i will switch to Linux cuz Windows 10 updates are a headache I'm done with their shit
Windows 10 is a silent update. It swallowed your data like it need it to breath. Every time update it eat 3+ gb(probably more) data. Wtf? Now this auto update can f**k off for good. Thanks for this video. Really help me a lot.
I bought a new computer and I was wondering why it was sooo slow because every time I open a program I have to wait 100 hours then I realized that the update installer was on NOW I DISABLED IT (PS. I’m on 1703 and I’m will not upgrade to 1803 NEVER) And my computer is running smoothly even the start up is fast THANK YOU!
Nice
Thanks man, hope this will work, Im from the Philippines and the internet here is so expensive and so slow, updates are so bad for us here.
Indonesia Too Man, Very Sloww...
Perhaps a post should be in order about your wallpapers . My word , they are so gorgeous !! Each and every single one indeed 😇
Thanks
amazing video.. thank you for literally doing what everyone is here for
If they are not going to get these updates right they should give everybody the option to OPT OUT. For them to totally hose my system with their bugs is unacceptable. I am surprised some lawyer hasn't already taken Microsoft to court over this crap.
You know what. Windows makes it very difficult and confusing to disable updates. If you want to delete a program or disable anything ....no problem...but Windows Update is made very difficult for you to stop it. When things like this happen, it starts make me thinking is there more to this then just simple updates. With all the conspiracy which we all hear about, it really just gets me thinking.....thank you for your video.
50 step process for something the end used should be able to do by flipping a switch.
Bloody bastards aren't they lol
That service was running at 30 - 50% on CPU constantly. Thank you!!
Even though I followed the steps, even with the recovery tab, eventually the update service comes back on and it's set to manual even though I never bothered with it beforehand. Is there a way to really fix that issue? I mainly use 1709.
Windows 10 is ridiculous... I purchased Windows 8 and all of a sudden it updated to windows 10 without me telling it to. Thanks for the updates disabling methods.
Thanks Brian :-D
That's a lot of trouble just to say no :-(
i tend to stop services and (if i have to) delete the files and backups.
What windows can't find, it can't restore or run.
Yes i'm horrible lol, i lack patience now.
A good task manager is your frend :)
The lack of patience is your age lol
The thing is... You are right lol :-D
52 and patience at 50% lol.
lol same mate.
The sequence are quite complicated but it's work! Very thanks a lot for your video!
7:32 I get a message saying "The user account you are operating under does not have permission to disable this task" .
Even though I run task scheduler as an admin
same.. have you got any update notifications so far?
Excellent! Thank you so much. Very comprehensive sir. Your time and clarity was appreciated.
I'm logged in as an administrator however task scheduler says I'm unable to disable the update orchestrator, I don't have permission. How can you elevate above an admin?
I was going nuts trying to figure this out. Thank you
I got problem with the service. Idk why, but the options start and stop for windows update / delivery optimization are greyed out.
Can someone help me? It is so annoying with these updates especially delivery optimization.
my exact problem, cant click on anything anymore its all grayed out. only thing that has kept the update gremlins away has been staying on Metered Connection
This made my pc so much faster now i can finally play league of legends happily, thanks dude u a legend
What a joke Windows 10 is. Thanks for the reminder of why I won't install this.
Thank you, sir. Great videos. On Task Scheduler it won't let me disable UpdateAssistant. "The user account you are operating under does not have permission to disable this task". And that's AFTER the tutorial on how to get full control of "your" PC. Anything I try to change, it asks for a password and none of my passwords work. This thing is a mystery inside an enigma inside a malware. Anyway....thank you again.
I detest these Windows 10 updates, they often take hours to download and then the computer is slow and sometimes things don`t work as well.
that's right.
Thank you so much for this video. This has been the only thing to work for me yet.
I tried turning off updates on services before and somehow didn't work, so my windows still updates and restarts pc without asking me. And I'm thinking if none of these work at this point, i'm gonna find a sledgehammer and smash my PC..
Hi. LOL. I just had to put this comment. I really feel what you are going through. I have felt like that a very long time everytime there is a windows update, some of my applications gets stuck!
PS. if you;ve come to the point of smashing your pc, please get somebody to video it and publish it in you tube.
Thanks so much for the very easy tips, watching from ethiopia
We have to do this so Flash Player doesn’t get removed from our browsers!
It is bigger than that, it is about your PC, trust me, you have other ways to preserve Flash Player.
Thanks for that. I tried delaying updates, but forget when that runs out, but can usually tell when it's due to start again, as my PC starts to slow down. When I allowed the updates to go ahead, this always resulted in my PC crashing and loads of error messages, so I had to reset it, which then delted all my downloaded apps and wasted hours of time. Therefore the updates don't work. Plus I have anti virus, so don't need anything else.
when i disabled windows update in services, it automatically starts running again when I on my laptop the next day!!! How to stop that?
This save me before everything go wrong I don't want to reset my laptop again just because a windows update fuck everything up. THANK YOU
And I still want to use win 7 for some reasons , maybe beause win 7 can be manipulated so easily
yes,and edited as you want,is not imposed like this
Thank you so much...!
I was a great tutorial..!
Love from Bangladesh
my pc is fighting back so I just deleated all windows update folders in the system
you got the best cpu channel I hit the bell years ago
I feel I have no say what the OS does these days, it restarts according it's own will regardless of what settings I have used.
Until now I've been relatively happy to leave the services running because I could update when I wanted, but now that the end-user settings have no effect anymore, I'm just going to disable the services, edit group policy, delete scheduled tasks, make wifi metered and add 1 MB monthly limit, and so forth. These forced restarts significantly lower my willingness to pay money for this piece of crap.
I didn't really have any problems with windows until the latest build. 18362 randomly fails to shut down properly, the start bar would just lock up and startup problems are common. Even installing the OS came with problems as they force you to use an outlook account now. Physically unplugging the patch cable works but you must do this before the prompts and it does seem silly to lock people into a MS account. Anyway, many thanks for the instructions, all applied.
I did this and after a week it still wants to updste
Hey great video, can I ask you if it works with windows 8 also?
This is the reason that i stopped using win 10 there is no virus protection
for the stuff that comes from win 10 by the very description of a virus is
what win 10 is doing
here is the rub i own the computer i should be able to do with it as i want
this is my workings not for some one to reach in and turn off software
i install i am is the process of converting all the computers i have to any
thing but win system they have lost me and probably many others
This was very helpful. The latest window update is bonkers...it REMOVES and Disables my Blutooth and ruins some usb connections...I NEVER have seen this in my life. They really need to fix things BEFORE release.
I swear- Whenever I'm playing a game windows would just disturb it and update, Its kinda getting on my nerves now.
Brian, I feel hijacked with win 10. I need a computer for my work I cannot have updates runing. I'll this hope will help. I already deleted all tasks. Thax for great vid
