Windows 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 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 Update Blocker is a freeware that helps you to completely disable or enable Automatic Updates on your Windows system , with just a click of the button . This utility is portable, which means that you are no longer required to go through the installation process and no leftovers will remain on the HDD after its removal. if you place the program file to an external data device, you make it possible to take Windows Update Blocker everywhere with you and use it on any computer you come in contact with, who has things configured just right, and doesn’t want to take the chance that an update might mess up their system. This utility is for that person.
How it works
After downloading, extract Windows Update Blocker to your desired location, then run it

Hi,
I cannot find any download link for both Windows Update & Defender blocker tool.
Kindly please help
Yo sordum have u ever thought of making a ‘hub’ like nirsoft’s launcher. Would be super useful so people dont need to download all the tools manually
I get the following Message, using the Wub_x64.exe, v1.6: "Die Anwendung konnte nicht korrekt gestartet werden (0xc0000022) Klicken Sie auf "ok", um die Anwendung zu schließen." How ca I run the Prog without this Problem?
EDIT: The solution was to unzip the file into a new folder on the desktop. It may be, that the old Zip-Archive war corrupted.Thanks again for your great support.
Just restart your system and try again
I can’t enable this service show access denide

@pega: Thanks, Unfortunatelly there is no such a List
@Rene Helmerichs : For Windows 11 we may add your request
Hi,
I just discovered this fantastic program and I thank you for creating it because it allows me to block updates without having to do a thousand interventions.
Is there already a list of services that I should include in WUB to block telemetry?
Hi, so, I’ve been using WUB for a year now–time flies. I did a reset to clean my comp of programs that seemed to be interfering with wifi use (I probably downloaded something bad), but WUB is a program that actually seemed to work. At least, for an entire year Windows 10 stopped bugging me about updates. Now, I did a few things a year ago, so I’m not sure if it was entirely only WUB, but I’d really like to keep WUB running nonetheless after the rest. The problem is, I can’t seem to get it to "auto start" when I turn the computer on. I used to auto start, I think… actually, now I’m not sure.
Um, "use and forget", you mean just click it once and set it to "disable updates" and then it doesn’t matter if I turn the computer off or on, even if I don’t see the program in the startup or services.msc?
Non of them, it doesn’t need to run background , just use it and forget
Hi – Great software, thank you!
Is it necessary to include the wub – exe file in the WIN-autostart menu or does it start automatically as a service?
@Gary G Nahmias
If your system is 64 bit, use Wub_x64.exe.
If your system is 32 bit, use Wub.exe.
