You can uninstall the updater too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just move its files (C:/windows/system32/wua*.dll) somewhere else. Put them back when/if you want to install updates, install updates, then move them again.



It's more complex than that now. For the last 4 years, Microsoft has a "Medic Service" that will put Windows update back if you just move those files.


That service is also a file, iirc it's among those wua* ones. Everything is a file!


I found a great file that allows me to install Linux!


The only problem with that is that then you have to use Linux.


One person's problem is another person's hidden joy. Didn't they teach you to not yuck other's yum in primary school? :)
