Last time in Windows 7, we can disable Windows Update, right?

But now we cannot disable it in Win10?

I feel those Windows Updates burden & slow down my laptop performance...

Hope this helps

how come? isn't Win10 is smoother than Win7 Win8?

after so many useless Windows Update, sure slow down my laptop...

What HDD are you using in your laptop

Seagate 500gb with 5400rpm

Switch to SSD and the lagging problem will be solved

my new acer laptop work slow for win 10
but better and smooth in win 7

That is the same concern i have. update is very annoying for me, I hate that i upgrade to windows 10.

noted, SSD smooth like ass yo.

But expensive like ass too...hehe

type services.msc and press enter

look for windows update services and then stop and disable it

Apacer 240gb only RM310-350, also expensive?

I want those 1TB ones...

Go dai pls...

Movie, music, picture pls keep in 7200rpm 1TB HDD.

Noted with thanks!

the easiest way to do it is to press winows key on your keyboard + R... then type services.msc from there on, go to update services. look at the drop down menu and disable it.

Don't use internet ......haha

i haven't disabled window update even i use hdd

I prefer just keep it enable because nowadays so many "RansomWare" lurking around.
Windows Update keep that away from happening.

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

That's the main drawback of SSD, storage size.

Some laptop have 2.5" and m.2 sata port, so can have SSD on m.2 sata and normal HDD on 2.5"

Or if older laptop that have 2.5" and CD/DVD drive, can SSD on 2.5" and normal HDD with adapter in CD/DVD drive.

external disk better.
harddisk is not power efficient device if bundle in laptop.

Around RM300 for 240GB.

https://www.lazada.com.my/shop-solid-state-...1&sort=priceasc

That is SATA la.

yeah, my machine is running on sata.

I'm saying to the person that I quoted about newer tech which is nvme ssd, but it's still very expensive.

add 100usd and switch to Pro(or 🙂) then choose non-standard update branch. You can defer upgrade for up to one month

I plan to get Windows 10 Pro for upcoming build, but is the Group Policy solution permanent, or will it just defer the updates for longer?

It's permanent,but due to security reason,suggest u set the update notification as prompting rather totally disable it.

I was not understand about disable update
On mobile, user always complaint where my update, why update take up so many time arrived.
But on windows, user always complaint how to disable this xxxx update, very annoying always ask for restart to complete update, oh my god, already tweak many setting, windows update still show up.

Complain normally will happen till been attack by security loopholes due to not up to date......

But then after that should blame the OS or the Update?
