That won't do it. Check Scheduled Tasks.

I heard from people it works. Otherwise, you can block these updates on Windows 7 (which is what I've done) and never get bothered)

A while ago I had a Scheduled Task appear, that, once a day, would check if update service was disabled and re-enable it. Sneaky cunts.

Haven´t had anything Windows 10 related popping up on my computer since I followed this.
You could also install gentoo.
You could also, you know. Not use a Spyware OS.

Or you could start using W7 or 8.1 Enterprise which don't get w10 faggotry in the first place.

That's what this exact thread is about, retard.

Nice try, but:
For individual users, REGEDIT is used to disable Windows Update in a User Registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer, create a new DWORD key.
Make the Name of the key NoWindowsUpdate, and set the Value to 1.
When this user attempts to start Windows Update, an error message will display.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
Go there.
Check if the preference DisableOSUpgrade exists.
If not, right-click on WindowsUpdate and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.
Name it DisableOSUpgrade.
Double-click the preference.
Set its value to 1.
Update:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX
Right-click on GWX and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.
Name it DisableGWX
Double-click it and set its value to 1.
Also, there's an ongoing discussion on ghacks net

GOOD LORD, ALL THOSE CLUSTERS WASTED
>>53699823
at this point installing gentoo would actually be easier
