Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions.
Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Most of the time these won't have access to the Internet, so MS Updates won't work anyway. But in the event that they DO, for some reason, get access to the 'net at a customer's location for a time, Windows Updates will immediately start trying to download and install a bunch of stuff, including the Creators Update.
These PCs will be running our own in-house code and just need to sit there quietly doing their work. Having them perform some updates where there isn't even a monitor or keyboard plugged in, at a customer's location where we don't even have access remote or otherwise to the device is a recipe for disaster. I had Windows Updates set to Disabled.
It turned back on, apparently because of a Group Policy setting that I didn't set. MSC wasn't even enabled on these machines by default, because it's Windows 10 Home. So I ran "sc qtriggerinfo wuauserv" and discovered that it was enabled by Group Policy in both the Machine and User Policies.
I have reimaged and have Disabled Windows Updates again. When I run that command I get the same result BUT with a Note saying "Since the service start type is disabled, the triggers are inactive. EDIT: Confirmed. Those triggers turned back on with no intervention from myself.
I even went in and changed the behaviour of the trigger so it would only activate on Joining a Domain Here's the best solution, folks!. Switch to Linux Mint, remove windows altogether. Forget Windows ever existed. It's expensive, their support is Crappy and sometimes insulting and The developers of Windows make it a habit of removing good features while making the worst features like Update Mandatory!
Obviously, they're not serious, and never have been, serious about making an Easy-to-use Operating system. If fact, it looks like they're dead set against it. I'm removing Windows after posting this comment and installing Linux Mint.
It does not have all this Bullshit you're getting from Windows!!! I realize that this original post is somewhat old, and that the discussion has become quite strident. I'd like to refocus on the original issue, and take the temperature down a few notches.
The original issue is a Server R2 system that was set to either Turn Off Windows Updates, or like mine Download But Let Me Choose When to Update, and it was changing, apparently without user intervention, to Update Automatically, causing servers to restart unexpectedly. Let's set aside the advisability of these settings, and focus on how they are getting changed. Is it possible that some windows updates installed manually, for example will change this default without alerting the user? Are there some updates that, once downloaded, are deemed by Microsoft to be so critical that Microsoft has decided to override the WU setting, and change it to Automatic?
I know it is happening somehow, and I know I'm not authorizing it, and I'm the only person who should have the rights to authorize it. The other thing that concerns me is that this seems to happen somewhat randomly. We have several R2 servers, and we typically run updates to all of them at the same time, but this automatic change only appears to happen to one or at most two at a time.
I understand that there may be third party solutions to get around this, but I would really like to stay with Microsoft approaches, and if this is actually an issue with the Microsoft software, I'd like to see them either fix it, or address why they aren't going to change it.
I'd be shocked if you could tell your anus from your face, given that receding hairline. Yes, sweetie, it does happen. I've seen it happen on different Windows versions, with and without antivirus.
But you keep up that attitude. It'll get you places. Probably a dark room while someone's beating your posterior until you cry out for mommy. Windows fanboys are so obnoxious. In the name of god, WHY provide a setting that isn't even going to function the way anyone would expect it to by its very definition? If Disabled means "disabled until reboot", then put disabled until reboot, or have a prompt generated when its changed that explains to the user that disabled in win10 means something different than disabled in win7.
I am more fed up and disgusted by Windows pervasively fraudulent language and settings design than I am by the actual state of affairs, which are still pretty pathetic, given the market presence.
All that said, in your example, the car manufacturer is off the hook if the engine blows up after being tampered with, as they've provided full disclaimer of best practice and how to avoid the engine blowing up. Microsoft is very clear that users should update. If the car manufacturer had any business integrity, they wouldn't leave you some false, bogus option to change a setting on the limiter that doesn't actually stick or cause the outcome it seems to suggest it does.
A setting should be functional or not be there, plain and simple. Constant, terrible failures posed as successes that users just misunderstand. So sick of it. Office Office Exchange Server.

Lawrence Gavin really doesn't know what he's talking about. Any longtime Windows user, knows that automatic updates is a problem. Thursday, April 9, PM.

However, when I switched back to Windows 10, it keeps giving me the Windows 11 Preview How do I stop the update as I would like to remain with Windows 10? View best response. Same problem here. I have left Windows Insider to avoid upgrading to windows 11 but it still trying to update to Windows 11 Insider Preview So annoying.
Hope someone can help. You need to unregister from insider program, or unregister only this computer then you need to perform a clean installation of Windows I have followed every advice I can find, yet I am still in the same boat as those who have come here to resolve a big issue.
This is the first time since days of Win3. Because Microsoft used to respect legacy hardware. Now youa re telling my Skylake desktop is NFG? I think this is the moment I can assuredly say that Microsoft has become NFG or the tail that wags the dog. While I was trying to opt-out of Insider, Microsoft wanted to ask my experience.
I went thru the questionnaire to the end and submitted it. This was the response I received:. Your request failed. Please also provide a summary of the steps you took which led to this error message ". So this is a mistake that needs to be explained.
