but does this trick to pause the update for 20years stop to download updates?
or just will stop the notify to to install?
by the way , microsoft weather is full of ads , unbelievable ,maybe it's because i'm in Central Europe
maybe in other nations ,there are disabled
i'm thinking if the ads are included to the windows 11 price
thanks

Hi,
It pauses updates so it should stop downloading and installing windows updates and thus you'll get no notification to install/ restart.
But you don't need to use 20 years lol

Like i said windows defender and store apps/ widgets update differently so just don't use them and use a browser.
But yes you are the product to MS, and that main drive is to sell you crap hehe

Not sure which user made this .reg file and shared it on elevenforum he didn't sign it like Brink does his reg files but it's posted on one of the disable adds tutorials @Brink created
Anyway it may help with adds in apps I do not know maybe Brink can add it to a tutorial and make it a download option if he hasn't already that is hehe
Here it is

1. Windows Update Blocker v1.8
2. Block svchost.exe in the firewall, ports 80/443 to avoid blocking DHCP/DNS,
still it will block updating certificates needed by browsers! So use temporarily.
3. Create a nonexistent symlink, but it will probably block MS store updates as well!

Code:

rd "%WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution\Download" /s /q mklink /d "%WINDIR%\SoftwareDistribution\Download" "X:\Download"

Hi,
Picked that v1.8 baby up a little while ago and useing it
Seems to be just what the doctor ordered to kill the update service from activating and the Waa.. medic as well hehe
It's already added to the ini file so nothing to edit or add there ezpz
Thanks for posting it
