Hi, Did everything you said, now it doesn't update even the security updates. The install Status stays on 0% and the "Windows update" window shut close itself after few minutes. What's going on?
I spend more time trying to wrestle Windows update's into submission than anything else I do on my Windows 10 PC now that I have migrated to Linux. My Windows PC is primarily a gaming console now.. Thanks for the video.
I use a firewall (Windows Firewall Control) to lock down my entire system except for the basic services and programs that need access. No more forced updates or interference from Windows.
Just use a aoolocker and Group polcies to control the settings. the problem with Linux is that most windows apps dont work with it + if you intend to have a job behind a desk, linux will not do it.
@@mojoneko8303 exactly the same experience. And let's also note that the reason we use windows exclusively for gaming IS NOT because it's good at it. 🤣
@@HauntedBranch Zorin 17.1. It has start menu just like windows xp. Which I like. There's a few different layouts you can chose from. Installs Nvidia drivers for you.
@@HauntedBranch- I'm doing the same. My distro of choice is endeavouros (EOS), but I used Ventoy to make a multi-distro live USB drive to try out a whole lot of options. Of all of them, "out of the box" Zorin saw my printer and monitors with the live USB, Garuda had all the gaming programs I wanted set up, and Mint couldn't get my graphics card/monitor and was low resolution. I'd say Zorin is the way to go. Used to be all about Ubuntu back in the day, but I gamed a lot and gave it up. I hear Ubuntu likes to harvest data, and is becoming the Microsoft of the Linux platforms (but still way better than MS). Also, I technically would use kububtu because I don't like a Mac like interface. If I were to recommend a distro for beginners, I'd say Zorin. However, if you want to learn to tinker with your OS then Arco Linux could be a good choice.
Yep, done it already, but this video just reminded me of one pc not set yet... Going to install GPEDIT tomorrow morning. Fffff This is the new world! 👎
Perhaps MS are hoping to tantalise people with Copilot and Recall. They probably won't work well on Win10 but perhaps MS are hoping that they can say, "You think this is interesting? You should try it on a new machine with Win11."
It's a pain but switch to 3rd party email like Thunderbird from Mozzila. Did that back in Win 7 days and have not regretted it. Features equivalent to those in Outlook without all the MS BS.
Thanks for this. I just followed your instructions and all is fine except 'Disable automatic updates' is missing from the 'Policies set on your device'. Have I missed something or is this ok?
This is good stuff Brian, thanks. Btw, I had Win7 till January/2024 and all was good, even when security updates no more. AV, FW kept me out of trouble along with backup regularly, so not to worry about security update when it dies. Just in case also, Linux is getting more popular and many programs will need to adapt to Linux too and MS scares of it. So no panic here.
*just installed Win 10 Pro on an old HP Compact 6200 - dual boot Win 7 / 10* *GP Edit much easier than Registry used your method also on my other laptops with Home versions* *Thank You*
This works perfectly on Windows 10 Pro with the group policy, but when I did it on a Windows Home version laptop exactly like you said, and rebooted and when into updates, there was nothing there that said it was set to manual, just the regular screen as before... anyone else have this on Windows 10 Home version?
Same here. Did the registry stuff on Win10 Home and got no red message saying it was being "managed by your organisation" and I don't have the blue "view configured update policies" message either. I rechecked I did everything correct in the registry.
Thanks for the tutorial but I followed your instructions for Windows Home and I'm not getting the "Some settings are managed by your organisation / view configured update policies" notification after restarting. And "get the latest updates as soon as they're available" isn't greyed out either. Have I made a mistake? Thanks
I have the same issue. I followed the registry settings, double checked everything, I see no change in the Windows Update settings, it's like the policies haven't been applied.
Thank you, i have little Celeron (2Gb RAM only) with 22H2 doing some automated email tasks, I don't want Microsoft to mess this little pc up with Copilot or other RAM hungry extras. So, I have followed your Home reg edit, all fine. Thank you!
That is strongly implied. You could give it a try and see as it is unlikely to break anything and you can always switch to manual if you like. I think the manual install was chosen simply because so many people are looking for more fine grained control over what gets installed and when.
Hold up. Hold the fk up... 4:20 where's the #1 option? Because logic dictates that would be the one that's "Don't notify, download, nor install". Sneaky buggers...
This didn't work for me for some reason. I am using Windows 10 Home 22H2, so I followed your registry hacks, but when I restarted and went to the update page, the "Get the latest updates...." button wasn't greyed out and it all looked the same as before. I double checked to see if I'd mis-typed anything. I spotted one typo which I corrected. Same result....
Im using home single language and I have the same problem. It seems no change happened by using only registry. Maybe I just make a mess in my registry and feels regret
Thanks Brian again another great tutorial but I wish I had known this yesterday as I updated both my 10 Pro installs but never mind it is simple to go back and do the gpedit stuff eh? I also think that you including the Home version folks too is really good of you and mate for me that registry stuff just fascinates me after I have used many that you have shown in the past.👍👍
@@Britec09 I used 7 Pro until 6 months ago when it finally gave it up. I had a funeral service with friends. Buying another one but editing only. BTW: I can still load & use my trusty MS Digital Image Suite in 10 Pro. Call me Die Hard.
Thank you so much! I made changes you recommended. In my case I'm happily staying on 22H2 in Win 10. My question is (so far this has worked fine) when I get notifications for updates, can those be offerred for other than the settings I've made to stay on 22H2? So far everything I’ve accepted (letting the updates install and then doing a winver check that still tells me I'm still on 22H2), but since I've made this change, does Microsoft’s downloading policy check on that, rather than offering “wrong“ updates (ones that don't comply with my 22H2)?
It does not seem to have worked on my Windows 10 Home. The windows update page gives no option other than to pause updates for 7 days, or install ASAP.
Strange I've followed this guide step by step to make sure I've got everything right, but after the restart I don't see the red writing saying some settings are managed by your organisation..tried it twice now, im on windows 10 home so followed this guide precisely..any suggestions please would be helpful thanks
Yup, did locked into 22H2, we will see what happens, i am planning to keep this computer as offline editor, i have some softwares here that probably not work with Win11, and i will not find replacements. Trying to see all other settings now too if i missed something they could exploit. I will get modern fresh computer for online stuff later.
Thanks bri i just followed your instructions and now is all good, the reason i never moved to win 11 is because of all the bloat i certainly would not like my win 10 going the same way. love to all.
I believe since not only opening the beta channels for Windows 10, also giving us feature updates again. That means the 2025 end of support date for Windows 10 is not really set in stone despite what Microsoft says. I do remember that when will is 10 first came out, there are two operating systems out at the same time Windows 10 and Windows 7 Microsoft might be having a change of mind about the end of support for Windows 10 pictures of the backlash on Windows 11, like they did with Windows 7 when Windows 10 came out because the backlash Windows 8 and 8.1.
As so often happens I went to my windows 10 pro pc & found it's slightly different, thanks for trying, I'll try to work out how/why my version is different. Only 3 entries instead of 5 & no mention of version limiting.
Hello Brian, I have Windows 10 Home. When i go in the Registry Editor i already have a folder WindowsUpdate. My question is, can i still follow your steps?
I think you can still follow the steps, yes, me saying this as a software developer. It's likely some settings have already been made. It's hard to tell what those settings could be, but you can take a look and decide to just ignore or disagree with them and do your preferred settings anyway.
Tried this, followed the instruction for Home, rebooted, checked the Update status and it imediately started to install the latest update. 'Get the latest...' is not greyed out. No 'Some settings are managed..' notification at the top. Didn't seem to work. (Win10 Home, 22H2)
Visited my mother-in-law yesterday and she was in half a panic. Windows 11 had "accidentally" self-ruined her computer. Luckily it was within the grace period so a rollback was still possible. I did this exact thing on her computer to stop it from redoing the install next week. Now, I hope they don't roll out an update that ignores this and forces the downgrade on you anyway.
They maybe want to get some of that A.I spyware onto windows 10. Using win10 Ltsc here but been expermenting with Linux thats probaly where ill be heading sooner or later .
Excellent tutorial, as always, thank you sir! Now - a question - if you don't mind - I have another computer with WIN11 on it, can I use this same technique to make it stay on 23H2 and not go to 24H2? Thank you and greetings from Croatia! :)
Ok Brian mate have done that now and thanks again👍👍As an afterthought I know you have done some gpedit tutorials in the past but I don't know how to find them but will have to search unless there is an easy way to find them.
I was meaning to do this for a while, spotted this video and got it done, thanks! Subbed. I expect MS will try to push more AI stuff down peoples throats just to get it out to the public and maybe add more advertisement and profiling data features since MS is becoming an ad driven company as well it seems. If you're a glass half full type you might think MS is making a U turn and keep supporting W10 for longer since no one wants to throw out their perfectly-functioning-but-not-supported-by-W11 garbage thing. I have a non profit volume license so I'm hoping to get security updates for little money. If not I'll probably move my latest PC to w11 and try to strip it down. I may even just delete or rename copilot files or block it using a firewall if I have to. Other PCs (one for electronics, one for CNC and a couple of laptops) I'll probably just block everything except local network access and keep w10. One can be loaded with Linux probably, if it supports the electronics dev kits that I sometimes use. The others have non compatible software that can't run or are glitchy at best on linux.
I will not make a decision until october 25, but i sure love to stop thing right where they are! Too much microsoft bloatware already. Very useful video!
Made the changes recommended in the video about a week ago and haven't been able to download the security update that's been pending. The download has errored out about four times now.
What about "allow local admin to choose setting"? OOSU10 keeps getting changed back to auto update every reboot, and I wish they'd tweak that software to avoid this.
This is _especially_ important with Windows 10 End-Of-Life coming up... because, who's to say MICROS~1 won't decide to "pull a Google Graveyard" and _implement a killswitch update_ to auto-force systems to Win11 (or cease functioning otherwise) at some point prior to the EOL?
Great video, will take this onboard; but have a;ready updated my dads old laptop, an i5 3rd gen with 16GB ddr3 ram and an 2.5" Samsung ssd 1Tb to Linux mint. works great! so quick. starting to get comfortable using the command line in Linux, it just wrks, great for an office box laptop. will be doing this win 10 alterations to my older i7 4790k when i get the chance. thanks for the videos, always learning so much from you, thank you.
DWORD should be enough. It's just a data type, the choice between DWORD or QWORD (32 or 64 bits) tells the range of the data the entry allows holding, so it does not have anything to do with your CPU's data with which is 64 bits these days.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 and I already got Co-Pilot, which I don't mind, but I don't want this recall Does Microsoft roll out the same updates worldwide?
I restarted my PC earlier and now I have COPILOT on my Windows 10 taskbar right next to my start button. I can't wait till it can open windows I tell it to open and browse the web with my microphone
What a pain. So glad I only see Windows at work. Windows requires too much effort to retain control over it at home without being on a work domain with centralized management over it. Good explanation of how to do it though. Lets hope Microsoft doesn't sneak in an update to change those settings on you in the future.
I have a windows 10 debloated...with updates turned off....i have version 1809...with vista transformed os...and work great....for this time i don't want to step up to linux Zorin yet...i will stay on this version how much is possible...it is full internet of debloated variant of windows 10 with windows 7 skins...or vista...and work great.. Same with windows 11...they are come without copilot or other bullshh.. inside...
Funny thing, after this reg change and restart message from Microsoft. Something wrong with my account.... wanted a new sign in. Didn't get one and all ok on PC
They could be trying to test run selective bit from Windows 11, so that when 10 is officially dead, they will have as much working as possible on as many pc configurations as possible.
Thanks for advise, could be that they want bloat w10 into unuseability, or recognizing that few people want to update to w11 and are afraid that people will walk away and start a cascade of loss for MS. It wouldn’t be fist time that arrogance has been taught a lesson. In any case slowly I am moving to Linux, with each month of practice, Linux looks a little better
@@Britec09 I know it is what "they" say. But it really grinds me gears calling an OS an "experience"... An OS is a tool, it should make it easier to do the jobs. I don't call my lawnmower an "experience" or my cooker and "experience".... I think this is where Microsoft are getting on many peoples tits. Just provide an operating system that allows us to do our work FFS....
It may come as a shock but Windows 10 will *will* continue to get support and updates after the end of life date. They are implementing a paid plan to continue and after previous Windows EOL debacles you can bet a lot of people will continue on Win10 than go to 11.
This is exactly the kind of "tips" I just don't understand. Not installing updates is not a solution either... Make a proper backup and if MS screws up again (and they definitely will as their quality assurance is at the moment) you can very quickly restore the backup. An external sdd/hdd and the free veeam agent are enough... btw. Windows 10 release information The final version of Windows 10 is version 22H2, which will reach end of servicing on October 14, 2025. There are no more new feature updates...
maybe someone here can help me? i have windows 10 home 22h2, and i set up the registry just like in the video, but i don't see the "some settings are managed by your organization" message and my computer is still trying to autoinstall updates. for a long time i've been wanting to stop auto updates, and i don't know how to do that edit: nevermind britec09 made a more recent video with a solution that worked for me

Same for me WIndows 10 Home 22H2
Instructions worked for PRO machine but my elderly laptop with Home doesn't show any changes either
@@NorthMagnie We can hope that Brian reads these comments and can address the issues in a forthcoming episode.
Please don't follow the advice given on this channel. It's often just inaccurate or plain wrong.
Once again - thanks for the update ! ... this might have saved us a lot of trouble 👌
No problem 👍
I was meaning to do this for a while, spotted this video and got it done, thanks! Subbed. I expect MS will try to push more AI stuff down peoples throats just to get it out to the public and maybe add more advertisement and profiling data features since MS is becoming an ad driven company as well it seems. If you're a glass half full type you might think MS is making a U turn and keep supporting W10 for longer since no one wants to throw out their perfectly-functioning-but-not-supported-by-W11 garbage thing.
I have a non profit volume license so I'm hoping to get security updates for little money. If not I'll probably move my latest PC to w11 and try to strip it down. I may even just delete or rename copilot files or block it using a firewall if I have to. Other PCs (one for electronics, one for CNC and a couple of laptops) I'll probably just block everything except local network access and keep w10. One can be loaded with Linux probably, if it supports the electronics dev kits that I sometimes use. The others have non compatible software that can't run or are glitchy at best on linux.
I will not make a decision until october 25, but i sure love to stop thing right where they are! Too much microsoft bloatware already. Very useful video!
And people say Linux is hard.
Its not hard, it can't do everything some people need.
@@Britec09 Like Windows, it can't do everything some people need.
Made the changes recommended in the video about a week ago and haven't been able to download the security update that's been pending. The download has errored out about four times now.
What about "allow local admin to choose setting"? OOSU10 keeps getting changed back to auto update every reboot, and I wish they'd tweak that software to avoid this.
This is _especially_ important with Windows 10 End-Of-Life coming up... because, who's to say MICROS~1 won't decide to "pull a Google Graveyard" and _implement a killswitch update_ to auto-force systems to Win11 (or cease functioning otherwise) at some point prior to the EOL?
Great video, will take this onboard; but have a;ready updated my dads old laptop, an i5 3rd gen with 16GB ddr3 ram and an 2.5" Samsung ssd 1Tb to Linux mint. works great! so quick. starting to get comfortable using the command line in Linux, it just wrks, great for an office box laptop. will be doing this win 10 alterations to my older i7 4790k when i get the chance. thanks for the videos, always learning so much from you, thank you.
can this be used on win 11 too?
Yes
Another tip for posterity. Just got to keep the crap that I don't want/need. Thank you.
Glad to help
They have removed Windows Updates from the GP Editor altogether on Windows 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.508)
Do we need to create these too for the QWORD (64-bit) Value?
DWORD should be enough. It's just a data type, the choice between DWORD or QWORD (32 or 64 bits) tells the range of the data the entry allows holding, so it does not have anything to do with your CPU's data with which is 64 bits these days.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 and I already got Co-Pilot, which I don't mind, but I don't want this recall
Does Microsoft roll out the same updates worldwide?
Recall has been disabled for now.
Thanks, done, but will Microsoft obey, or just ignore all of this via a 'security update'
I think this broke all the updates. It just throws installation errors now for security updates.
So since I did this not a single update can be installed, it always times out and I get an error message!
I restarted my PC earlier and now I have COPILOT on my Windows 10 taskbar right next to my start button. I can't wait till it can open windows I tell it to open and browse the web with my microphone
What a pain. So glad I only see Windows at work. Windows requires too much effort to retain control over it at home without being on a work domain with centralized management over it.
Good explanation of how to do it though. Lets hope Microsoft doesn't sneak in an update to change those settings on you in the future.
Will this work on windows 11 22H2?, I don't want specific apps to break because of the update
Yes
I use sledgehammer to disable auto updates
I have a windows 10 debloated...with updates turned off....i have version 1809...with vista transformed os...and work great....for this time i don't want to step up to linux Zorin yet...i will stay on this version how much is possible...it is full internet of debloated variant of windows 10 with windows 7 skins...or vista...and work great..
Same with windows 11...they are come without copilot or other bullshh.. inside...
Funny thing, after this reg change and restart message from Microsoft. Something wrong with my account.... wanted a new sign in. Didn't get one and all ok on PC
i defered my feature updates by 3600 days in the registry when i move to windows 11 that will be going to 9999 days
They could be trying to test run selective bit from Windows 11, so that when 10 is officially dead, they will have as much working as possible on as many pc configurations as possible.
Why i found Copilot settings in Windows10 ?
Checked enable to disable >.>
Seems like Microsoft is extending Windows 10 end of support on users pressure.
I’m sick and tired of this. I think this is the last straw.
Just do what I show in video and your Windows 10 experience won't change
It's called $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !
Thanks for advise, could be that they want bloat w10 into unuseability, or recognizing that few people want to update to w11 and are afraid that people will walk away and start a cascade of loss for MS. It wouldn’t be fist time that arrogance has been taught a lesson. In any case slowly I am moving to Linux, with each month of practice, Linux looks a little better
And people say Linux is hard.
@@Britec09 I know it is what "they" say. But it really grinds me gears calling an OS an "experience"... An OS is a tool, it should make it easier to do the jobs. I don't call my lawnmower an "experience" or my cooker and "experience".... I think this is where Microsoft are getting on many peoples tits. Just provide an operating system that allows us to do our work FFS....
I hate Microsoft more and more each day.......already started to learn Linux! Damn MAFIA!!
There is a high learning curve now with Windows with all these tweaks. If you switch to linux, the learning curve is smaller.
I am still on Windows 10 22H2 and Copilot got installed a couple of months ago, by itself
Won't this turn off security updates?
No
It may come as a shock but Windows 10 will *will* continue to get support and updates after the end of life date. They are implementing a paid plan to continue and after previous Windows EOL debacles you can bet a lot of people will continue on Win10 than go to 11.
I stopped all updates in registry.... Don't want them updates
Could someone create an executable script for adding these to the registry on home?
Migrated to Linux. Had enuff MicroWoke.
They so scammyish, you gotta read carefully: ENABLING THIS FEATURE WILL DISABLE this and that... >.>
Adding RECALL
I have win 10 Home and get to GP Edit thru admin run
Thanks
Welcome
This is exactly the kind of "tips" I just don't understand. Not installing updates is not a solution either... Make a proper backup and if MS screws up again (and they definitely will as their quality assurance is at the moment) you can very quickly restore the backup.
An external sdd/hdd and the free veeam agent are enough...
btw.
Windows 10 release information
The final version of Windows 10 is version 22H2, which will reach end of servicing on October 14, 2025.
There are no more new feature updates...
maybe someone here can help me? i have windows 10 home 22h2, and i set up the registry just like in the video, but i don't see the "some settings are managed by your organization" message and my computer is still trying to autoinstall updates. for a long time i've been wanting to stop auto updates, and i don't know how to do that
edit: nevermind britec09 made a more recent video with a solution that worked for me
All Microsoft articles confirm, no 23H2 will be rolled out on Windows 10. I need to reverse this now.
