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!

    I followed all of that and the Screwup Assistant still reloads itself.

    Microsoft probably read your post and changed Screwup Assistant to circumvent your user-friendly solution to this piece of malware from Redmond.

    It came back because a Cumulative Update was issued 3/22 that probably installed and replaced the missing or disabled files.

    I followed the steps and and checked all the boxes. I didn’t have any problems for two weeks. Then all of a sudden yesterday, it came back. I followed the steps again. At least if I only have to do it every two weeks that’s better than having my computer trying to download the update every 15 minutes. It still sucks though!
