Windows 10 Updater Disabler (Download)

Windows 10 Update Disabler is a new program for Microsoft's operating system that turns updates on or off easily.


Windows 10 offers less UI control over the updating behavior of the operating system than previous versions of Windows where you have control on how updates are installed.


If you check the settings application for instance, you only get options to defer feature updates if you run Pro or Enterprise, but no longer an option to switch the updating process to manual, or to deactivate Windows Update from settings.

Now if you need total control, then you need this app.

You can disable the update, and enable the update when ever you want to.

 

 

WINDOW 10 UPDATE DISABLE APP.

Windows 10 Update Disabler is a program for Windows 10 that installs a service that blocks Windows Update from installing updates on your windows 10 computer.

The service does not make use of Registry options to block Windows Update, as they may be modified by updates eventually (e.g. reset).

It runs checks for Windows Update's status regularly and terminates it when found to be running.

Instead, it uses an undocumented system call to check the current state of Windows Update and tries to terminate it immediately.

The service disables all scheduled tasks that are related to Windows Update on top of that when installed on the system.

How To Install. 

To install the Service, do the following:

• Download the Update Disabler archive from the WinAero website, and extract it once downloaded.

• Open an elevated command prompt. Tap on the Windows-key, type cmd.exe, hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys, and hit the Enter-key.

• The title of the command prompt window begins with Administrator if it is elevated.

• Navigate to the folder you have extracted the Updates Disabler program to (use cd folder name for that, e.g. cd c:\users\martin\downloads\updatedisabler.

• Run the command updatedisabler.exe -install.

If you have followed the steps carefully, and things worked out fine, you should get the following echoes on the command line:

UpdateDisabler is installed.

Service Start pending ...

Service started successfully.

 You can also verify this in the Services configuration interface as well.

 

You should see the Update Disabler Service listed in the interface when you open the Services management console. It should have the status of running, and the startup type of automatic.

If you try an update check after installing the service, you will get an error message which confirms that Windows Update is disabled: We couldn't install some updates because the PC was turned off.

Uninstallation

 

Uninstallation works pretty much like installation, only that you need to run the program with a different parameter.
You do need to open an elevated command prompt window again and navigate to the UpdaterDisabler directory.

1. Run the command updaterdisabler.exe -remove

The program echoes steps of the process that indicate that the service is stopped and then removed.
To verify that this is indeed the case, check Services. The service should not be listed there anymore. Also, you will notice that update checks are working again just like they did before.

Download the program from WinAero, but it has been published originally on the My Digital Life forum.
