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.

    Amen to Z's post.  I am so sick of it too! The worst part is being held captive, with no where to turn.

    you could have at least explained better where the F* we find these effing things.

    But given that this is S*itt*soft, it's expected.
