The Update Assistant in Windows 10 cannot be uninstalled, but you can get rid of it

Click your Start Button, type Task Scheduler and hit enter

In the left Pane, navigate to: Windows - Update Orchestrater

Right Pane double click 'Update Assistant'

Click on Triggers Tab

On each of the triggers ( At login . . . etc.) double click and uncheck 'Enabled'

Under 'Update Assistant, there is another event 'Update Assistant CalendarRun'

Do the same for all triggers on that event

Restart your system, that's It!

    Hi,

    In answer to your question, my computer is running Windows 10.0, Build 10240.

    Screen shot of Task Scheduler attached as requested.

    The problem is that Windows 10 tries to update several times a day but after each attempt reports that the process cannot be completed.  Presumably something needs to be done to solve the problem - if only I could deduce what it is!

    Hi David,

    For us to isolate this further, please help us verify the following:

    • What's the current version and build of your Windows 10 computer?
    • What are the options available when you open the Task Scheduler? Could you provide us a screenshot of it?

    To check for your computer's current version and build, just type in winver in Cortana search and hit Enter.

    Looking forward to hear from you.

    Regards.

    Don't know about others but I cannot find the Windows 10 updater among the 'tasks' list.  For me, Windows 10 attempts to update AT LEAST  once a day and ALWAYS fails.  This is driving me to distraction and I want to remove it entirely but can find no way to do this.  David
