how do i stop downloading and installing windows 11

I'm in the same boat as you guys. Windows 11 just downloaded itself a week ago. I clicked nothing on updates. Now I'm stuck pausing it all the time. Just know you can pause it up for 35 days. The day before that date, go in and click 'check for updates'. Then, you will get a message to schedule the time to install Windows 11. Go to advanced settings and pause again for 35 days. This is a nightmare with Windows 11. I can't see myself doing this for the next 3 years so at some point, I'll just make the switch against my will.

I am using solution #3 in this link and have set a calendar reminder every 6 days to pause my updates again. Not ideal but working so far. https://www.easeus.com/knowledge-center/stop-windows-11-update.html

I'm having the same problem as David. First it said there was a problem downloading and reverted itself back to 10. Then it apparently sent data to whoever about the error and downloaded 11 again. Version 11 kept dropping out my bluetooth headphones and playing videos weirdly, and everything is also slow and makes my laptop motor really loud all the time. I need bluetooth to study for a test to get a job. So I attempted a bunch of things to fix it like changing settings and whatnot and downloaded more updates that it said might help. None of that worked so I had it go back to 10. Now the next day it's trying to download 11 again. I managed to stop it but now it says it's going to force the download when I turn off my computer. I only have three days to study for this test and instead so far two of those days has been spent messing around with this problem. This is absolutely ridiculous. I can't study without a computer and bluetooth as all the materials are only available digitally and online, and now I don't have a working computer. And I just realized you look like a kid, and this problem isn't going to be solved anytime soon. Microsoft has to be told that this is breaking people's computers and stopping us from doing important things that need to get done. Either fix windows 11 or stop trying to force it on me.
