I have a HP laptop (Model: 15-ac121na) using Windows 10 Home and for the last 3months ive been having problems with very slow internet speed. I tried so many different solutions to no avail and eventually i come across a temporary fix of rolling back the driver of the network adapter to version 2023.4.720.2015 however every time i close the laptop or restart it the network adapter updates itself again. This situation is bearable but now suddenly i keep getting window assistant pop ups constantly trying to download 5GB of updates. After giving in on what seems like the 1000th attempt to stop it i let the updates install and upon logging into my laptop i noticed the internet speeds had dropped again, i tried to roll back the driver but the option is now greyed out and i was stuck with just 54kbps on version 2023.58.731.2017!! I uninstalled the updates by going back to the previous windows build and now everything is back to normal (me rolling back the driver every so often) but im still getting windows assistant pop ups trying to install even after i went to control panel and deleted the application!
If anyone could help me with either deleting the assistant permanently or even my dodgy speeds i would be very greatful.

Hi thanks for replying so quickly

et rid off this window ten update assistant
I tried to uninstall it multiple times, and yet it stills installs by itself.
I followed all the steps mentioned here. After uninstalling windows 10 update assistant I did a system wide search for windows 10 update assistant. An 877 byte short cut came up and I deleted it using the gutmann method
Tried removing it, only to have it pop up 10 minutes later, remove it again and back it comes. Even with windows update set to disabled, all the task scheduler tasks removed and some really bad language it still comes back. Is there any way to permenantly stop the annoying thing?
I did everything sugested here and did a system search for any "windows 10 update assistant" and an 817 byte short cut came up so I deleted that as well.
Hi p1guy,
The experience with Microsoft's Windows 10 has proven too much for me!
So, I shall be looking for another type of operating system, in the near future.
Thank you
