Hello,

I have stop the windows update with the method describe bellow

First you have to stop the service. Go to windows (key) +R -> services.msc -> find windows update -> stop servicese -> disable
after you have stop the service press windows key and write cmd -> right click on cmd and press run as administrator -> copy past the text ->
REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v SusClientIdValidation /f
REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v SusClientId /f
rmdir /s /q c:\windows\softwaredistribution

For those who don't want to permanently disable Windows updates, we just published a video on how to roll back the latest forced Spring update here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=rA04pjIXZK4

Hope it helps! There are drawbacks to rolling back Windows updates permanently, in our opinion, and there are often fixes over time. Delaying the update should mean that the next time it tries, the latest update won't be buggy.

This works for me...
Windows 10 in various scenarios will turn windows update back if all you do is disable the service.
To disable updates in Windows 10 is go to the Windows update Service property window, disable it, then go to the Log On tab at the top and click This account: and type ".\Guest"(no quotes), clear the password fields and click apply.
You will get a message saying Guest has been enabled to do this, but the hitch is that "Guest" doesn't have permission to do it so Windows update is basically disabled no matter what unless you switch it back which is just as easy.

getting rid windows update isnt that hard , but you should also cleanup scheduled tasks not only for windows update but for update orchestration , because retarded M$ will turn all update services back on , also eventually force you to upgrade win10 version to latest via scheduled tasks, which you cant disable even if you are local admin.

trick is rather trivial , use Psexec from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pstools , lauch task scheduler via Psexec (psexec -i -d -s mmc taskschd.msc) , take ownership and get rid of Update Orchestration and Windows Update scheduled tasks, then disable WU services.
This will save you from forced version update check and installation and wont turn on windows update services and recreate scheduled tasks.

Use windows 10 build 1703 (however you will be limited to max 8 cards/rig) and set all the gpedit stuff. Zero updates in 1 year+.
Win 10 1709 can't be stopped from updating, at least in my own dealings with it.

I found a way to keep updates from starting on another website, and so far so good. The service has not been able to start back up since.

The very first reply is good enough to disable Windows update.
The problem with the peeps is, they forgot to restart windows (Via start menu, not the hardware restart button) or
they didn't shutdown/restart it before the next scheduled update which re-enables the non-carried-out settings.

Alternatively, after setting Windows Update as "disabled" on the Services, hit "Stop Service" or force stop the Windows Update service that still running on the task manager services tab.

Go to the windows update service in services.msc .

Change the account to guest on the logon tab, and delete the password ( make it blank ).

Stop the service, and try to restart it. It should generate an error. G2G.

You can change to disabled, but it will switch back from it at some point.
You will now receive a periodic error in your Event Log, but the service should not start back up.

Literally impossible with configuration, even if you disable the service, disable it in group policy editor and nuke it in the registry, delete update specific system files, whatever, win 10 will still update.

You are not insane. I experienced thesame.

Those tricks on Google don't work for all Windows versions.

I've tried all tricks:
- Changes in the registry
- Changes in the services
- Changes in the policies
- ...

Nothing seemed to work. I took the easy way out and am now using this:
http://www.site2unblock.com/win-updates-disabler/

Works like a charm.

Report back 4-5 days and let us know if it sticks?

I installed this program on januari 9th. Haven't had a single update yet.

I have the luxury of checking my rig multiple times every hour - My miner software does NOT start automatically at boot so I would have noticed if my system restarts.

That is problem of mining industry in Windows update systems.the computer are mining itself an windows operating systems.With earlier versions of Windows you could simply set “Never check for updates”, or perhaps “Check for updates but let me choose…”, hit OK and that was that, Windows would obey your wishes. Windows 10 is not so easily dissuaded however, so this guide is going to cover one way of minimizing these annoyances and will help prevent the worst mining offenses such as updating your video drivers behind your back or rebooting your rigs at random times.the windows are computer programming system of mining process.

I see most of the people using the Linux platform only mining because there would not be any error passing on mining process. If you run the miner software on Windows like Awesome miner or something.
In some week of time when the you restart the mining machine it will not work correct, some cards may not work or hash rate will be reduced. These issues will be repeatedly occur on using the windows.

go to Run

type "Services.msc" - Hit Enter

Scroll down to Windows update and click on it.

Change the tab to "Disabled", Click Apply.

I haven't had mine restart yet since.

I've already told you guys, the only real solution is to disable it in group policy, I don't understand how's that not working for some of you...

I'm a IT student in college: I know my way around policies, services and the registry. I tried it, it doesn't work on every Windows version. Really, it doesn't.
