How to Cancel Windows 11 update?

I'm one of the people who had Windows 11 download itself without me telling it to do so. Now, it is ready for install. I do not want to install Windows 11 at this point. I want to keep my Windows 10.

I've paused it for 7 days, but this is a temporary solution. Can I delete the Windows 11 download somehow? I'm running Windows 10 on a brand new Dell computer.

    If you don't want Windows 11, you'll need to take all the steps to remove it from your computer and then reinstall Windows 10.

    I can't say how satisfied until I shut down and restart. This is the second time I've been hijacked by Windows 11 . I tried it once and concluded it was dumbed down and some features missing. It seems 'eternal vigilance' is required to keep it at bay.

    Yet more B$ from M$. 2023 and we're still reg-hacking around issues they have invented for us. Why bother even offering the reg hack ability?!

    Running a fleet of Windows 10 machines and no slick way to say "No" to an update. Why is there no ADMX addtion that is just "Window$ 11? - Yes/No"? I pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing and this is what I have to deal with.

    Oh, wait, I know why. Mooooooonnnnnneeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy. Screw the user/admin, we want their data so we can continue to amass disgusting amounts of wealth and control. Get bent M$.
