Disable Automatic Windows Store

Disable Automatic Windows Store App Updates Not too long ago we published a lengthy tutorial on  how to disable automatic updates for Windows Store apps . Shortly after, Microsoft made this option very simple for users of the Pro edition of Windows 10 (see above for upgrade tips); we updated the article. Briefly, as a Windows 10 Pro users, you can launch the  Windows Store , click your  Profile , choose  Settings , and turn  Update apps automatically   Off . To manually trigger updates, go to  Profile > Download and updates , press the  Check for updates button, and after the scan has completed click  Update all  or update individual apps by clicking the  download arrow  to their far right. Choosing not to update Windows Store apps doesn’t have any security implications because these applications run in a sandbox that restricts interaction with the rest of the operating system. By sticking with an old version, ...

Completely Disable Updates

5. Completely Disable Updates As a last resort, here’s the one method that will really turn off updates, either completely or until you reboot your computer. It’s available in all editions of Windows 10. Go to  Start , type  Administrative Tools , and open the matching result. Open  Services > Windows Update . Below  Service status , click  Stop  to shut down Windows Update until you reboot. Under  Startup type , you can select  Disabled  to prevent it from booting with Windows.

Those drivers may break your individual settings or introduce problems, although the manufacturer version w...

Installation of Updates

4a. Time Installation of Updates (November Update) Once Windows Update has downloaded new material, it’s a matter of hours until you have to restart and let Windows apply the updates. If you’re running Windows 10 version 1511, you can  Select a restart time , while you’re still working. We highly recommend that you choose  Notify to schedule restart  under  Windows Update > Advanced options , so that Windows won’t try to determine the best time to restart on its own. Otherwise, you could find Windows caught in what might appear to be an infinite update cycle as you return from your lunch break. 4b. Block Updates During Active Hours (Anniversary Update) Users who are running the Windows 10 Insider Preview or  the upcoming Anniversary Update  can set active hours during which Windows Update will be blocked from restarting the device. The option is available under  Windows Update > Change active hours . Windows 10 Annivers...

Delay Upgrades Until They Are Safe

3. Delay Upgrades Until They Are Safe The  defer upgrades  option is great, if you only want to opt out of feature upgrades. It won’t affect security updates. However, after the grace period, the deferred upgrades will be deployed automatically. This option is not available to users of the Home edition. To enable this, open  Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Advanced options  and set a check mark next to  Defer upgrades . To determine for how long the upgrades will be deferred, you’ll have to head into the Group Policy Editor (see above). Inside the editor, head to  Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update  and open the setting  Defer Upgrades and Updates . When this setting is  Enabled , you can set the time for which upgrades (max. 8 months) and updates (max. 4 weeks) should be deferred. You can also  Pause Upgrades and Updates . You should...

Get Notified Before Updates Are Downloaded

2. Get Notified Before Updates Are Downloaded You can make Windows 10 notify you when updates are available and manually trigger the download. This helps users with a low bandwidth or limited Internet connection. Unfortunately, this trick only works if you have access to the Group Policy Editor, which excludes Home users. Press the  Start  button, type  Edit Group Policy , and open the respective result. Now head to  Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update  and open  Configure Automatic Updates .  Enable  the setting and under  Configure automatic updating , choose  2 – Notify for download and notify for install . The next time updates are available, you will see a notification in the Action Center that  You need some updates .

Bandwidth

1. Save Bandwidth on Metered Connections Here is an easy method to block all updates while you’re on a metered connection. It’s available to any Windows 10 users (including Home edition users), who are connecting to the Internet through a wireless connection. This tweak does not work if you’re hooked up to an Ethernet cable. You can only apply the setting while you are connected to the respective wireless network. Head to  Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi , select the network you’re currently connected to, and under  Metered connection > Set as metered connection  turn the switch  On . Note:  While you’re on a metered connection, Windows Update won’t download any updates,  including security patches ! You can, however, go to Windows Update and manually start the download and installation.
