As said in another thread - If you wish to decline Win11 updates, it can be done with WUB (windows update blocker): 

https://www.sordum.org/9470/windows-update-blocker-v1-8/

Very easy to use (one button affair, enable/disable), and works with all Win OS, all the way back from XP to the current 11.


PS: please note that blocking Win OS updates with WUB also blocks apps downloads/updates from the Windows store.

Yeah, in my experience it blocks every Windows update regardless.

Here are alternative links for WUB:

Or if you have Windows 11 Pro (not Home), follow this guide to stay on version 23H2 until it reaches end of service. This only blocks feature updates, security updates works normally.

Does Windows update automatically? I was thinking of upgrading tobthe Pimax Crystal Light if its any good. But wont be until begining of next year or around Christmas time

Thanks, I did the group policy. Even if I never use the G2 again, at least I won't have to deal with the update until it's fully flushed out, at least until 11/11/2025.

I had windows 11 disabled from carrying out its automatic update so hopefully all ok now for a while until i decide what to do. Pimax crytal light??? Or too many horror stories

You can lock a specific feature update too, using Group Policies (it requires Windows Pro or Enterprise however). That way you can still get security updates.

I have Windows 11 Home edition. I have made this entry in the Registry Editor. Can some who knows how W11 Home works advise if this will keep my machine on the 23H2 update?

Mines windows 11, not pro as far as im aware. The computer shop said disabling the update will not stop my fire wall working. And still seems to work

That’s pretty much what it is called in the Group Policies editor as well. I don’t see why this registry edit wouldn’t work
