How to Turn off Automatic Updates in Windows 10
11On Windows 10, quality updates (or cumulative updates) download and install automatically as soon as they become available. Although this automatic approach allows devices to receive security updates to patch vulnerabilities, improve performance, and bring enhancements without user interaction, it is perhaps one of the most controversial features.
Typically, it's because updates contain bugs that can negatively affect the experience in many different ways. For example, they could break existing features, introduce driver and application compatibility problems, Blue Screen of Death (BSoD), and they require a restart to complete the installation that can disrupt the user workflow.
If you tend to see more problems than benefits during updates, or you have a good reason to use a computer unpatched, depending on your edition of Windows 10, you can disable automatic updates using the Settings app or permanently with the Group Policy or Registry.

There are few things that inconvenience us more than software updates. Windows users often make jokes about the updates they receive because they take so long to complete (yes, you should initiate your update overnight). As with any good software, updates are a vital part of our computer’s health and security. But, sometimes it just isn’t practical to perform right now, and other times it can cause problems for other software you’re running.
