Stop windows update

A hack script to force stop background windows update.

Introduction

This script stops the windows background update. There is no guarantee on the safety (it works most of the time), but use it at your own risk.

What it does

Stops the wuauserv (Windows Update) and the usosvc (Update Orchestrator Service).

Why I made it

I created this script last year (2020). I had limited network bandwidth at that time and windows would always forcefully update, consuming my bandwidth completely, and I couldn't attend my online classes. I had asked for help online, but most of them were "Keep your system up-to date when you don't have online classes" or "Get a better network connection". I made this script (even though I knew about the risks it would have on my system) because I was fed up with Windows and it's updates.

How to use it

  • Download StopUpdate.bat.
  • Right-click on it and select Run as Administrator.
