Stopping all automatic updates Windows 10
Re: Stopping all automatic updates Windows 10
if you have the Pro Edition, [open group policy editor (gpedit.msc)](http://www.howtogeek.com/224471/how-to-prevent-windows-10-from-automatically-downloading-updates/) search for the `Configure automatic updates` entry, located at:
```
computer configuration → administrative templates → windows components → windows update
```
[](https://i.sstatic.net/OYRer.png)
and select `Notify for download and notify for install`.
When Windows detects new updates [it shows a toast notification](http://www.askvg.com/forcing-windows-10-to-always-notify-before-downloading-updates/).

You can also use the troubleshooter from [Update KB3073930](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930) to disable some problematic updates, so that they are not installed again.

This is the official way from Microsoft to prevent setup of unwanted updates and drivers.
But there is a 3rd party tool called [Windows Update MiniTool](https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/Windows_update_minitool.html) which allows to select which updates can be installed and allows to block updates like you could in former Windows versions.

An alternative to the standard Windows Update What you can do:
• Check
for updates
• Download updates
• Installing Updates
•
Deleting installed updates
• **Hiding unwanted updates**
• Get
direct links to the *.cab / *.Exe / *.Psf update files
• View update
history
• **Configure Automatic Updates**
• This tool is like the
external powershell module PSWindowsUpdate, but much more advanced and
user-friendly features
• The tool relies and use same WU
infrastructure, all downloading are through WU it's not a
downloader
