Turning off windows update in windows 10

[osity]

is there a way to do this for Windows 10 Pro other than disabling the Windows update service?
I was rebuilding an image on a flash drive and it seems to have restarted after 7 hours. Pretty frustrating.

I use since several time "RebootBlockerSetup" Download at chip.de and works so far reliable

You can do it with a bat file and some commands to stop key services in windows.

I had the same problem and this is the solution i came up with.

I attached an archive with 2 file one for enable and one for disable Windows Update completely.

Right click and Run as Administrator.

Good luck.

Or try Windows Update Blocker: https://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-0

Be sure to check "Protect Service Settings."

Thanks i'll try the windows update blocker... seems pretty a tad easier than disabling the service manually.
