Absolutely BS. I have spent the last week fixing my laptop as a result of forced windows 10 updates. MY onboard keyboard died, my trackpad was not responsive. MY HDMI and graphics drivers were out of synch (APU and Discreet on the boaord graphics card) my USB drivers were hit or miss if they would function. At one point I was reduced to a plug&Play mouse and an on-screen virtual keyboard to get into recovery boot mode. If not for Google providing me 100+ GB of storage I would have been screwed b/c on my reset ALL of my files were corrupted in the reset process. 

7 Days ago everything was working perfectly fine. A forced update to the latest 18xx April windows 10 and everything failed. I am now stuck racing against the clock to figure out a way to make sure windows cannot break my computer again. I am a student and work remote, my computer is my life without it I fail classes and do not earn an income.

1 week of pay gone. 1 week of assignments failed. 

This is on windows, I will not allow updates to continue. I consider this breach of contract and false advertising on their part. Planned obsolescence and collusion with hardware/system manufacturers. Unforgivable and unbelievable.

Finally found something that kills Windows Update forever and its not so difficult to do,

After stopping wuaserv and bits services

Look for C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and delete all of its contents, then remove ALL permissions to that directory, to do this you'll need to disable permission inheritance, then remove ALL permissions and the Virus called "Windows update" Will never be able to start again, I've done this to my 2 computers and has worked perfectly, no more forced updates, no more popups, no more bandwidth and disk IO wasting, no more forced reboots

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.

You can nobble it thoroughly, but the mysterious "dmwappushservice" thing might unknobble it for you. (I do this with a script for LTSB, but here's the basics, may include some other things you don't need.)

1 - knobble some tasks.

"Maintenance Install"    #UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"Policy Install" # UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"Reboot" # UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"Refresh Settings" # UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"Resume On Boot" # UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"Schedule Retry Scan" # UpdateOrchestrator not present??

"Schedule Scan" # UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"USO_UxBroker_Display" # UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"USO_UxBroker_ReadyToReboot" # UpdateOrchestrator Windows Update?

"Automatic App Update" # Windows Update

"Scheduled Start" # Windows Update

"sih" # Windows Update

"sihboot" # Windows Update - SYSPREP breaks if this is disabled.

2 - knobble some services

"BITS" # Background Intelligent Transfer Service (HTTP)

"DoSvc" # Delivery Optimization

"wuauserv" # Windows Update

3 - Use GPEDIT to tell it where to get its updates from:

Under computer > administrative settings > windows components > windows update

specify intranet microsoft update service location (usually for WSUS)

enable this, give it a bad location like http://localhost:8530/ 

also enable

do not connect to any windows update internet locations.

In testing, this never tried to update for over a month running test contents but of course, retail versions might do something stupid.

In short, UpdateOrchestrator is your enemy.

If it was easily that possible, I would've done that by now. Since I bought my system which is already pre installed windows 10 in it. Though I saw forums and discussion that even Windows 7 and 8 have some problem where they're forced to upgrade to 10. Is this actually true though?
