Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I posted two links this morning. One of them says use the registery if you have Windows 10 home and use GROUP POLICY if you have Windows 10 PRO. I used GP.

I might do this if further harrassed by Microsoft. https://www.howtogeek.com/224471/how-to-prevent-windows-10-from-automatically-downloading-updates/ Thanks
No, that is not the answer as no one is forcing you to use Windows 11.
If you follow the steps in the very beginning of the thread in how to change the registry and stop the downloading of Windows 11, it will solve your issue.
Class Action Law Suit?
It seems if it is still DOWNLOADING you should be able to cancel it somehow. Doesn't anyone have a workaround? Microsoft should be sued for doing this. They are NOT customer friendly. I have been using their products for years but know I might get a MAC or go with Linux.
