I agree that letting microsoft doing the updates even with P2P isn't perfect, and for some people it doesn't work as intended (damn m$ randomness), the method i described work for me but may not for others.
Hence why i listed other solutions like :
http://www.portableupdate.com/
You prepare the offline bundle of update you want, and you can deploy it through all your hardware with just a copy of one folder and you can even script the portableupdate exe to be silent and apply update using the windows update engine as if it was done by the internet service, it's a great tool. And you can safely disable the normal windows update from the GPO (or registry but it's the same as touching the GPO's) to not be annoyed by any unwanted update time.
Cheers.

Block Windows Update on Router levels... with URL blocking... problem solved! Google it

If you block one update server; there are countless other web aliases that the os can try.... and it will continue to try if there's an internet connection.... endlessly until it finds one.
you get tired of adding aliases to that list after ~200+.

I did not turn off the update, I only changed the reg file to drag it allegedly from another server, which does not have an update. After that, I did not have a problem with the update 
Chill, he's talking about m1n1ngP4d4w4n's post regarding GPO (Group Policy Object) which is a feature of Windows (Pro and above). Why is it "that" hard for others to disable Windows update?
By disabling "Windows Update" in the "Services" then immediately restart the system (using the restart/shutdown button on the start menu, not hardware button), updates should be disabled.
Unless if there's an already downloaded and applied update which will complete itself during the restart process which could turn WinUpdates to "automatic" again.
This used to work a few years ago with the earlier versions of Windows 10. Basically around 2016 or so I didn't have any issues using this command.
However sometime in 2017, all of a sudden all my rigs started updating and I've never even manually approved any of the updates. The rigs were just offline and when I booted them up, it said it had installed updates.
After a few weeks they were all updated this way and all the windows update services were disabled since 2016.
This only works as far as I know with Windows 7 and Windows 8. But you can't disable updates this way anymore with Windows 10, you need to do more advanced solutions.

There is actually already such a system in windows 10 called P2P windows updates, by default your computer can become a "hub" to update computers on your LAN, and also other computers over the internet to unload microsofts servers (you can also setup your own computer to download from microsoft + local PC + internet PC), i have setup one computer that does windows updates in my local network and is set to use P2P only for local computers, and all my others windows 10 computers on my network are set with metered connection (fake metered) so that they seek updates only from Local forbidding them to download from internet.
This is a useless and broken feature. It does not work as intended. I have tried all special methods of changing the metered connection specifications, etc... to no avail.
Machines forced to update only from my laptop; which I update at other locations, but bring home often; never get served an update, and those machines at home that were strictly kept on a separate physical network were disconnected from the internet completely.
Trust me; I have monitored my internet and local traffic under several different configurations.... its not as simple as clicking that magic button. This is Microsoft..... things always work as not perceived. Each new major update; I try to get it to be served by my personal machine to the others; nope; no dice. I have even tried having that laptop connected to the internet, but also connected to that separate network; nope... no updates on the private network.

To complete the op answer, best is not to rely on regedit for updates, but you can use different method.
- Disabling windows update service
- Using a 3rd party tool to do your updates (like portableupdates)
- Use GPO's to disable/tweak windows updates
- Using GPO's combo with a WSUS
- Using a master computer that distribute by LAN all updates like i stated in the beginning of post
GPO's are reserved for windows pro version but im pretty sure most miners out here use windows pro.

I hope eventually they will allow you to install a "windowsupdate host service" on a machine in your network, and have it be the update hub.... as long as it itself gets kept updated, it will show itself to all other pc's on the home network as the actual windowsupdate server..... maybe on the basis of some 30-60-90 day certificate.
I thought they would have had this licked by now... but again, this is microsoft....

This is just a simple registry hack for Windows 10 pointing it to a dead Windows Update Server, it will also block sharing updates with Windows clients within the same LAN, a feature in Win 10 to save resources when too many of them are nearby.
It shouldn't be on a shared drive since the code is proprietary
rather explain what users can do in a simple post could earn you some gratitude before coins.
However, starting from Windows 8 if you don't update your system for a while ( you can't really skip the forced updates with restarts) your system will slow down, test it by not updating for 90+ days or so.
I use Pihole to block all incoming traffic from servers I do not wish to use and update only when I cannot avoid it anymore but that doesn't stop random apps being installed even though I had disabled everything possible.
For business, WSUS and Active Directory does the job.

The current file doesn't seem to be dangerous but, you can always change the link (not being suspicious here).
Sharing it using google drive isn't the smartest choice because of the usual hack attempts here in bitcointalk,
as you can see, people will always be suspicious on everything.
You should move it to a hosting site where users can review the code before downloading. (Do gitHub accepts .reg files?)

And better yet; for a plain-text content file, why would you upload it anywhere anyways...
example_file.txt

Just post it as a code snippet like this
Completely transparent, and you can see its contents when you copy/paste to create the file on your remote machine.

...Or you could just set your windows update service to disabled but I don't know why you would want to do either of those things. There are ways to simply prevent the reboots from the auto-updates. That seems a better solution. Sometimes you actually want to update.
mining rig when set up, they dont need to update windows, for me after every update they reset afterburner, gpu drivers , crash win...
Microsoft force updates when they disabled, "There are ways to simply prevent the reboots from the auto-updates." but if you must change one gpu or the electricity is gone ?
i like this. is this real. would love to donate. anyone but op confirm?

this codes changes update settings to local windows update server called WUS its very usefull solution for business computers, with this method every computer did not update from windows server, bandwith did not consumed

I did not try on other operating systems 7, 8, xp ...
This is for win10 an ordinary file from the registry that Windows uses for the purpose of finding an ip server!!!
You do not need to exit Windows update, because it can't connect to the server
