I upgraded to Windows 11 and reverted back to Windows 10. Now Windows 10 automatically attempts to download and install Windows 11 again. See below:
I can Pause Updates but doing so doesn't allow me to update Windows 10 "patches." I'm being forced to Upgrade to Windows 11 without the ability to stop it.
I want to cancel the Upgrade to Windows 11 (download/installation) process which initiated on its own without my consent. The current status is how it shows in the image above - ready to download and then install Windows 11 but there is no way to stop it.

Thank you! I did the registry and GPO solution and only filled "Windows 10" with the version in blank. Waiting to see what happens.
The how to geek instructions for regedit and gpedit are the best on the web.

Does this stop all updates or just Windows 11 upgrade?
Just Windows 11 all other updates for Windows 10 are still offered per the update service.

This is what I'm interested in...
I don't want to stop any of the major updates to WIN10 (21H1, 21H2, 22H2, etc.), but DO want to block WIN11 until the developers have migrated their software over to WIN11. I literally have thousands of machines out there in hundreds of dealerships needing this solution.
