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 am afraid it's not working. The window pop-up again.

    This technique - like all others posted here - does not work.  It appears to be impossible to remove, disable, delay or destroy this thing.  The only action that has any siccess is deleting the program every time it re-loads itself (in my case at least twice a day.

    Scroll up in the topic a little, read my post.  I can't figure out how to get the direct link to it though.
