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!

    Argh_Argh:

    *"*This is the most annoying operating system anybody could ever put out. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves."

    In 1986, Bill Gates said in an interview, "he best way to prepare [to be a programmer] is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and fished out listings of their operating system."

    IT SHOWS!

    I followed these steps and it worked for almost 2 weeks. Then it came back and I followed them again. This time it only worked for 5 days. Since my laptop can not have the Windows 10 update and will soon be useless to me, I decided to live dangerously.  I went in and deleted all of the triggers. I'll let you know how that turns out.

    When it comes to future purchases, Microsoft is dead to me. I'll buy a Macbook.
