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!

    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.

    Here is the information you have requested.

    Hi David,

    For us to isolate this further, please help us verify the following:

    • What's the current version and build of your Windows 10 computer?
    • What are the options available when you open the Task Scheduler? Could you provide us a screenshot of it?

    To check for your computer's current version and build, just type in winver in Cortana search and hit Enter.

    Looking forward to hear from you.

    Regards.

    I am having the same problem and it has been going on for over a year.  I have my original version Windows 1511 (OS Build 10586.1176), I have tried numerous times to upgrade to the newer versions. Now it keeps trying to add security updates for the newer versions. Because they aren't there, it says it failed and just keeps trying again. It seems like my computer is continuously running trying to do they updates. The ones that come through from 1511 succeed. I am getting really frustrated with this, do I need to get rid of Windows 10 on my computer, or can you stop the upgrade attempts to the newer versions, and I can just live with version 1511. I really am not having any problems with it, but I am soooooo tired of this constant upgrade problem.
