Is it possible to permanently delete windows 10 update assistant?

Sometimes I get a message saying 'Updates were installed. Select this message to learn more.' I select the message in question and get another message saying 'No updates have been installed yet.'! Great! It is like a joke

Exactly!!  That's another thing that irritates me so much about these forced updates--the multitude of tech issues with almost every single update makes me wonder if Microsoft is even testing these updates at all before they force them on us. It comes across like Microsoft is using us as their captive group of testers, against our wills and without compensation. At the very least it is extremely immoral and unethical, and it may also be another Civil Rights Violation.  Add to this the facts that the average computer user doesn't know how to fix these issues and many of them end up having to pay yet another entity to fix what Microsoft messed up.  This makes Microsoft's actions all the more immoral and unethical, and increases the probability that their actions are Civil Rights Violations.  I truly am NOT a conspiracy theorist--I generally despise wild speculation and conspiracy theories.  But, these points really cause me to wonder if there are any "under the table" dealings between Microsoft and the 3rd party tech support entities with possible bonus kickbacks to Microsoft from the tech support entities if Microsoft keeps tech issues in the OS and updates.

Hi

I have done the steps yesterday as per DaveM121 and that did not work, it's back to updating again this morning.

For about the last week or so, the Windows Update Assistant has been wreaking havoc on my computer. It's constantly disrupting everything I'm trying to work on, even when I'm actively working. Every time I uninstall it, it reinstalls itself, which makes it, by definition, a Virus.

I would also like to know how Microsoft thinks that they have any right whatsoever to force updates and install programs without prior notice and without giving us any way to prevent this from happening. That is, by definition, hacking and hijacking. Microsoft does not own our computers. WE own our computers. And how do we know for absolute certain that Microsoft is not spying on us, or stealing our personal files, or stealing our personal information when they are accessing our computers to force the updates? I am not making an accusation. I am asking a legitimate question that every Windows 10 user should be asking. How does Microsoft either not realize or not care about the humongous amount of liability that they've opened themselves up to by forcing updates. To everyone who is as bothered by all of this as I am:  I recommend filing Better Business Bureau complaints against Microsoft, and contacting your local ACLU Office to ask them to get involved to make Microsoft stop being able to take control of our computers.
