Since Windows 10 i had never have the need to disable it, in fact it is better to keep it enabled. But if really want to then just put it on tethering, it will not update but so won't your other apps

We can turn it off in services.

Thanks for the tips, smooth pc now

great and if really want to turn it off like the thread suggest to turn off in msc.services or just put it in tethering mode, i usually use the latter for temporary basis, i do want the updates actually

sure, will try tomorrow, thanks

one caveat, when on tethering, every time it will ask if want to connect ie when opening Outlook, which is why it is on temporary basis.

here's link on how to turn on metered internet

thanks

but does anyone have a way to permanent way to disable the windows update?
my laptop is 6 years old ady and quite laggy
everytime i go to the windows update to disable it, the next time i boot up it auto change to manual(trigger) and continue to run

Stopping "Windows Update" service is no longer working in Windows 10 since last year.
The only way is to "Metered" Ethernet Connection which there is no direct way of doing it.

Follow the suggested instruction here to "Metered" all data connections.

In future, if you choose to update windows then you have to Un-"Metered" the data connection. "Metered" again after Windows Update is successfully done.

add on ssd smooth!

If you are using Windows 10 Pro,u can manipulate the settings through Group Policy section.....if you are using Home edition,then no choice bur rather set the metered connection.

I'm using WD 160GB mechanical HDD anyway

but most people cant afford SSD

Now SSD is cheap enough, less than 200 can get 120gb, or less than 300 for 250gb. It makes a world of difference compared to disk plated hard drive.

once you on ssd, you never look back

I recently do a clean install of Windows 10 1709 on Atom z8300 powered system with 2GB RAM. The system is much smoother now, RAM usage only 900mb when nothing is opened.

got link ? thanks.

Search for SSD at Lazada

ya wo....
good.

Any new technology coming in?

Nvme SSD
But it's still very expensive though.

but the disk space is the only problem ,you can get 500gb hdd
less than RM200
