Windows
11 and 10 offers less UI control over the updating behavior of the
operating system than previous versions of Windows , There is no option
to turn off Windows Updates using the Control Panel or Settings app in
Windows 11 & 10, it checks for updates automatically and install any
updates they find, whether you like it or not. This new feature is
actually pretty convenient for most users. If you want control over the
update process you can disable the Windows Update service . This
requires that you open the Services manager, locate the service and
change its startup parameter and status. You would then have to enable
the service again whenever you want the operating system to check for
updates (It does not look so easy).
Windows
