Delete crap windows update from windows 10

BITS and Windows update services can be disabled by deleting their associated .dll files.

Here's how:

1. Open services through Task manager
2. Find the BITS and wuauserv services and disable them
3. Open windows\system32\
4. Find qmgr.dll and wuaueng.dll
5. Take ownership of these files using properties and move these files to another disk

Now those services will never run.

If you want to enable them again, transfer the .dll files back to the system32 folder.

Note: In case you lose these files you cannot use dll files from another version of windows like windows 7 or 8. Instead you will have to repair the windows on the computer or reinstall it.
