how do i stop downloading and installing windows 11

Congratulations!! You give me hope that when I do install it, all will go well.

Thank you for updating!

I am running a Samsung Galaxy Book Tablet with keyboard. My problem with Windows 11 is that I can't turn my book off. The main power button will not turn the computer off nor will the power button in the start menu. It freeses up in Microsoft Word and Excel and I can't save my file or even type or paste in the document. I finally got it to shut down and when I restarted the computer, I went into settings and reverted back to Windows 10 and turned off Updates because it was trying to reload Windows 11.

The Windows 11 check to see if your system can handle 11 said NO even after it forced an upgrade on me that took over 3 hours to load. 11 is NOT for all computers and should not be forced on anyone.

It does sound like you had terrible issues because your computer is not supported for Windows 11. You ran the Microsoft test to see if your computer could run Windows 11? I'm not an expert, but it also sounds like there is something wrong with the mechanics of your computer if your start button does even work. Either way, sounds like you should stick with Windows 10.

"I went into settings and reverted back to Windows 10 and turned off Updates because it was trying to reload Windows 11."

HI @RobertHeard1 - did you turn off Updates in Advanced Settings? That gives you a 30 day "window" - pun intended. I just got to the 30 days since I did that the first time and Windows 11 asked again to install now or later or in x number of days but there were only a few days in the option. I went to the Windows Notifications in Settings and clicked on Advanced to get the longer amount of time. This is not ideal but can work until someone thinks of something else. I am debating just having someone do a clean boot on my PC to take it back to Windows 10. I don't want to be missing security updates for W10.

Glad you are still hanging in there. I'm the outliar also doing pauses for 35 days at a time.
