How to stop windows update?

[Steven Bartlett]

I am really upset with the continuous updates on my windows everytime I start my system. Is there a way to stop this auto-update on windows, especially at wrong times?

I use these steps to get the quickest resolution: Services.msc > find Windows Update > right-click > Stop > set Startup type to Disabled.

Settings > Windows Update > Pause updates. The update stays paused for 5 weeks straight

The only long term solution is pausing through settings and not just halting the services - as it is a short term solution

Disabled the services only to be haunted by it again a few weeks later. After that, I used it from the settings - and got a long-term relief
