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.

What I want:

  • Windows 10 to stop Upgrade to Windows 11 process
  • Ability to update Windows 10 without it upgrading/installing to Windows 11
  • Windows 10 with the ability to update patches
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    This fix seems to have worked for me; a Windows 10 security update has downloaded and installed and no signs of Windows 11 trying to download again and install again.

    The upgrade from Windows 10 to WINDOWS 11 was flawless and contained all my previous data and non-MS applications.

    Make sure you have a few hours to complete the tasks.

    Hope you have the same success.

    PS There is a recovery back if you are dissatisfied.
