Hi @sarahmatty8610,

Welcome to HP Forums! I have read your post and wanted to help.

I understand that you want to turn off the Windows Updates on Windows 10. Please try the following:

Turn off Windows Updates in Windows 10

You can do this using the Windows Update service. Via Control Panel > Administrative Tools, you can access Services. In the Services window, scroll down to Windows Update and turn off the process. To turn it off, right-click on the process, click on Properties and select Disabled. That will take care of Windows Updates not being installed on your machine.

Let me know if it helps.

Hi:

For Windows 10 updates from Microsoft, you can use the hide updates tool.

Instructions for use and the link to download the tool are below.

Hiding any updates are permanent unless you run the tool again and uncheck the update you have selected to be hidden.
