Hi
windows 10 update is a nightmare even worse then w8.1/8 and 7

i tried to disable the service, i set to disable , but windows 10 after 1 day (i guess ) , changed it to manaul trigged

i download an utility ,it's cool
TaskSchedulerView v1.11 by http://www.nirsoft.net with it you can edit the os task scheduler

i can not find how disable windows 10 update forver , under w8 or 7 it was easy

can you help me ?
thanks

 

There are a handful of windows updates you will need to remove in addition to disabling 2 tasks in task scheduler.

You will need to remove KB3035583

You also have to disable some of the ways Windows Updates work because it will push them out. I have noticed that some of the updates have been getting pushed out with new severity each time updates are released.

Windows home premuim 10 you can not turn off the updates windows 10 pro you can delay to shut down only windows 10 business you can turn off updates
oh what a luxury thats why i dumped windows and went to linux

 

Although I have never tried on W10 to disable the respective service and especially had no idea that it re enabled itself, you may try the following if this alternatively suites you needs. Navigate to Group Policy

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update.

Click enable and select the method of choice. For example, mine is set to [2], Notify for updates and Notify for install. However the windows update service will be set to manual trigger and not disabled. But at lease this way you have stopped automatic downloads and installs.

Alternatively, "If the status for this policy is set to Disabled, any updates that are available on Windows Update must be downloaded and installed manually. To do this, search for Windows Update using Start."

There will be no notifications as far as i know with the current release. Earlier preview builds had no notifications with this method.

regards.

 

There is no disabling unless you never connect that machine to the internet. Microsoft controls the OS, not you.

 

Try O&O ShutUp10.

It is a portable utility. Now, enable all the options marked in the screenshot below.



P.S: I haven't tried this option myself, but should work.

You can run this script by murphy78:

In my opinion there's no need to use any other program. You can read the script contents anytime and discuss at the thread.

 

hi Mister X
but reading the script seems that set the policity to 2 (disable update )
but i will try it
thanks

 

But does this program need Windows 10 to run? I doubt so.

Windows Updates are probably your smaller concern. As has been demonstrated, Windows 10 makes connections to Microsoft even when you open a photo. Not only that, but the fact that you're granting Microsoft access to all your files, folders, and even keystrokes, are to be taken into consideration.

 

yes , some program could run under wine

could not believe ! don't know in usa,but in europe an os like this could be no sold
if it's really like this , i will restore my w8.1 image and say good bye forever to w10

thanks

 

Windows 8 is a problem too. In fact, all editions of Windows from 95 and later have known and proven backdoors. I'm not saying Microsoft abuses them, but I won't say they're playing nice too.

Depending on the program, you could run it on Virtualbox. But I understand if you must stay with Windows.

 

hi i know about backdooors , i guess even in 3.11 nt ??
but about

can't believe it's even inw8 or 7
thansk for info

 

Very simple, disable the WU service. See my privacy guide on this topic.
Mrk

 

Proven? Show me one example.
Mrk

 

Not that I'm aware of.

XP, Vista and 7 have proven backdoors. I don't think Microsoft stopped shipping them on 8 and 10

Windows Update backdoor in XP and Vista:

Tor removed from more than 2 million people in 2013, by Microsoft:

Not to mention the _NSAKEY.

And actually, since XP, you agree to have such backdoors that allow Microsoft to add or remove software from your computer or even to make you not able to play CD's: https://web.archive.org/web/20060518123848/http://linuxadvocate.org/articles.php?p=1

 

hi
i did it , but w10 re-enable it ,i set to disable after 1 or 2 days windows 10 pro set it to manual trigger
you are talking about http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/windows-10-privacy-guide.html ?
by the way i read the HP Stream 7 - To Windows 10 and back , are you the author ?
thanks Mrkvonic

 

I have only one machine converted to W10 - a 32-bit laptop. O&O ShutUp simply won't run on it. Has anyone else given this a try on 32-bit hardware?

 

That's not a backdoor, that's just Windows Update.
NSA key is nonsense.

You need to show one example where an unknown channel - i.e. NOT WU is used to deliver content to Windows hosts.

Mrk

 

If you can learn how to configure a firewall with a default-deny policy, you can block anything that isn't an application that needs to connect. I have done that and created a temporary rule to allow updates when I decide to check for them.

 

That's exactly what a backdoor is: the user doesn't control the software, but someone else does. It's like me thinking I control my new house because I have the keys to the front door, when in fact the contractor has an unknown/hidden backdoor to it and can enter the house whenever they want to do whatever they want.

 

Hi Mrk
is this http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/windows-10-privacy-guide.html ?
thanks

 

WU is not unknown or hidden. Hence, not a backdoor.

@mantra, yes. Cheers.

Mrk

 

I see you didn't read the articles. Please do read them.

It's not Windows Update that is a backdoor, but the fact that Microsoft can silently update Windows even if you set WU to off. Off means off, unless someone else is controling the feature or program (in this case, WU) via a backdoor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing)

Microsoft does have one (or more) backdoor built into Windows. They can get into the system without the user's consent and do stealthy things, as has been proven.
