Stop Win 10 Updates
« on: November 08, 2018, 01:11:08 am »
Here is a script which was on Iritu showing a possible way to stop Windows 10 updates.   I have not tested it to see if it works.  Might do that on the weekend.

echo off

:start
cls
ECHO *** Stop Updates Started ***
net stop dosvc
net stop bits
net stop dosvc
net stop UsoSvc
net stop wuauserv
del /q /s "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\*"
ECHO *** Stop Updates Finised ***
ECHO ****************************
echo
echo
timeout /t 60 /nobreak
goto start
pause

The owner of that board Michael B is a total asshole who got Crazyontap shut down. 

That script looks OK except it looks like you have to leave it running and looping forever? Not a good solution IMO because it doesn't manage to disable anything permanently.

Yep, I agree he was a total dick for the nonsense he pulled on COT.   It was none of his business and he had no right to interfere in another board.

So the script only stops Windows updates momentarily and has to run every 60 seconds to kill the processes yet again.   Pretty lame way to do it.   Although it shows just how bad Microsoft has become with their OS.    Go Linux.

I think someone of the caliber of Gibson Research (Spinrite) needs to investigate the core of Windows and publish exactly how to switch off these services permanently.


Obviously this script which is just a loop with a delay statement to keep from bogging the system down doesn't set or clear anything permanently. It's close to the source but no cigar. I also don't get where/how this bat file is intended to be run. I guess you're supposed to leave an admin console command line open and run this while your system is on?

I have a similar script that runs in a BAT file and turns on/off numlock to prevent the machine from being locked. You can put it an auto start location so it will start upon boot.

Windows has become a total nightmare. The October surprise where my drivers got deleted. Microsoft is *the* virus.
