Is it possible to uninstall the Windows 10 update assistant? When i delete it it just automaticly reinstalls itself when i start the pc again

Thanks for the information. Worked a treat!!

I disabled all the triggers and then disable the task in the left panel for good measure.

No more update assistant pop ups!.

Thanks again for the information

Did all the above but it did not work - perhaps because I do not really understand what running a file 'as an administrator' actually means in practice.

Certain operations require administrator privileges. For example, a student at a high school would be unable to follow these directions on a school computer because the computer would require administrator privileges from the user before the system could be altered. In this example, the requirement for administrator privileges is mostly to protect the computers from being messed with by the students. If a student had administrator privileges, they could potentially cause a great amount of harm (e.g. access restricted information about other students, change grades, turn off every single computer on the school's network)

In your case, when you're the administrator for your computer, these operations still require administrator privileges as a security measure (for example, to prevent a malicious program from doing certain things against your wishes). It's not because the system doesn't trust you, it's just an added layer of security for your sake.

To run a file as an administrator, simply right click on the file and select run as administrator.

You gotta admit, its pretty horrible that you have to go disable 30+ things in Windows 10 just to put a stop to updates.  Every 6 hours this thing self installed, and only displayed an error about UEFI saying Windows 10 can't update.  You'd think Microsoft would be intelligent enough to make their program disable its self after discovering that its incapable of installing updates because of an unfixable error.

Can't speak for anyone else but for me this did not work - despite trying it three times.   Perhaps no-one here is old enough to recall the repellant 'thing' which appeared from John Hurt's chest in the original version of Ridley Scott's Alien, but that seems to me to be exactly what the Windows 10 Update Assistant has become.  It is a monster: an alien, destructive and sinister interloper which it appears utterly impossisble to deter or remove.  Please everyone, there must surely be some answer, somewhere - or must we all be forever haunted like poor Sigourney Weaver and hern dooomed spacecraft ..... ?

Like what DaveM121 said, you cannot uninstall The Update Assistant in Windows 10.

What we suggest is you can submit a feedback regarding to your concern about the Update Assistant to our Feedback Hub.

This is ludicrous!!   I do not wish my application of Windows to be 'updated' at the moment.  Why, therefore, can I not delete the relevant program?  Sorry to be vulgar, but who the hell owns my computer: me or Microsoft?  I do not expect Renault to tell me how to manage my car or Bosch my dishwasher so why should the maker of the operating systrem on my computer presume to tell me what I may or may not do with it?  Or, worse, foist its products on me when I have not asked for the them or in ways that make them 'unrefusable'?  This is all some kind of technological dictatorship in which the user has no role and no say.

I had this exact problem for the longest time. I was able to fix it with the task scheduler solution, but since that's not working for you, here's a janky fix that will totally prevent it from running, it's what I've been using the last several months.

1. Right click on your desktop, select new -> text document. Open the text document.

2.  The following script continuously executes commands that will terminate Windows Update Assistant whenever it attempts to start. Copy and paste the following script into the text document:

@echo off

:Loop

taskkill /im Windows10UpgraderApp.exe /f

taskkill /im SetupHost.exe /f

goto Loop

3. Go to File -> save as...
4. Change the file name to Windows Update Killer.bat (The file name doesn't matter as long as the extension is .bat) -> select "Save as type:" -> select "all files"
5. Save the file.

After doing this, an executable file will appear on your desktop. Run the file as an administrator. A command prompt window will appear. Closing the window will terminate the script, so just keep it running and you'll never see Windows Update Assistant ever again.
