How permanently stop windows 10 force updates

The only way to stop the updates is to disconnect from the Internet so the system can't receive them (this makes Windows 10 work the same as iPad, iPhone, tablets, Xbox, PlayStation, and other consumer electronic devices).  This is why Windows 10 is a continuous service, not a one-time product.  If you don't agree to the updates, you actually aren't legally allowed to use the system. You don't own Windows, you license the temporary restricted rights to use it. Those are the license terms of contract, and updates are required.  Your only alternative is to use another product instead.

We can help you solve any problem you have at all to get your system working properly, but there's no "off switch" for updates, no matter what you do.

Windows is so **** that it won't even let me choose when i can update. I just got an update which only gave me 30 minutes to save everything so it can restart itself and update. 

 And now, at the moment I have a audio render going on and it usually takes a lot longer sometimes even hours to do so. 

What kind of stupid assumption is that? As if all works can be finished and wrapped up within 30 minutes. Its not like i can possibly speed up the processing and make it render faster. 

My work is based on audio and DAWs and the last time i updated windows 10 i coudnt even run my Digital Audio Workstation, let alone create any music in it.

Something in the update messed up my DAW. In fact, the update was so bad that my buisiness got delayed by an entire day because i had to figure out how to go back a version and reinstall the older build.

What i dont understand is to why windows wont just give an option to do it once a year or something and just keep forcing it down our throats.. it doesnt even feel like they're helping me with these updates. It feels more like being at gunpoint and forcefully updating itself whether you like it or not. I guess i'll just move on to apple products now because i am almost done with windows!

How generous of MS to push users away from their products and handing them over to apple or even linux by making their operating system unusable. Windows 10 is effectively an "offline" OS from the user's POW as the OS is permanently hogging internet's connection for it's updates rendering it truly unusable even for the most trivial tasks as checking an email.

I'm in this situation, I lost my data because of the FORCED updates !!!, it's been a long time since I shifted the updates, but Microsoft forced the update on my computer, and the result is that my pc does not work anymore, I have to try everything, reinstallation, reboot ... nothing works, I lost all my data thanks to Microsoft and I am in exam period I can not do my duty what a loss !! ... I hate Microsoft with their new way of managing it sucks. I think it's time to switch to OS or Linux

No, you lost your data because you had not taken responsibility for YOUR data and backed it up.  What if the hard drive had failed?  You would have equally lost the data.  What if the laptop was stolen?  You would have lost the data.

There is no reason in this day and age for people to lose data, there are many different backup or syncing options around.  Office 365 plays very well with Windows 10 but if you want vendor segregation there are many others.  Even a USB drive backup is better than relying on just the drive in the laptop.

Microsoft have become such arrogant jerks that they no longer allow you to control your own computer. 

Forced updates are just plain hostile and more like malware than a "service". 

In my case, I run two w10 machines that works as TV Production switchers for live streaming, meaning they run 24 Hrs a day.

As the bandwidth availability is limited in my country, sharing the connection with BITS/Wuauserv it's unacceptable, and DISK I/O must be completely dedicated to the video switches to avoid any frame loss due to high I/O times.

Unfortunately the software I use for this task (vMix) only runs on W10, if there was a linux version I would have windows 10 completely wiped out of the PC's

I don't need any updates or patches, just need the PC's to keep running uniniterrupted.

I Have tried deleting tasks, disabling services, delete WU files is my next option

More sadness...

I have another computer, a high performance laptop to do live streaming on the road, and  you don't know how many time I have lost and how many anger and problems it has created to my productions.

Windows update is not a feature, is a F**** virus!
