DisableOSUpgrade

The initial question was how to block a system update because my PC is not compatible to upgrade any higher than Windows 10 Version 1709. The 1803 and the 1809 fail after installation.

I received a response from Kapil Arya and need further assistance.

My Query,

Hi Kapil Arya

Thank you for your response. I tried using the Hide Updates Tool to no avail, it didn't work. I proceeded to open the Registry Editor and, DisableOSUpgrade, and that blocked the Windows Version 1803 from installing.

Now the Windows Version 1809 continually tries to install but my PC is to old and not compatible. I've tried to delete the DisableOSUpgrade and than followed the steps to re-enter it to the registry. My PC is in a continuous loop trying to install 1809 and when it fails it reverts back to install 1803 again.

My computer can't update higher than the 1709, it's not compatible.

    Good Morning GaneshGandhi1982

    Completely frustrated... I've tried DisableOSUpgrade in the Registry Editor / Windows 10 Version 1709.   That worked for a short amount of time, until Microsoft launched the 1809.

    I've tried changing to a metered connection as per your latest query.

    All attempts seem to have no effect to block either 1803 or 1809.

    Right now my Dell Dimension (old computer, maybe 14 years) is installing Windows 10 Version 1809 in which in about 2 hours the installation will fail and Windows will reinstall my previous version 1709. It's like Ground Hogs Day, a continuous loop.

    Version 1709 functions fine on my Dell Dimension PC.

    The problem is my inability to stop system updates.

    Hi Ganesh Gandhi,

    Will using the metered connection step stop all updates including the updates for Windows Version 1709 that I am operating with now. My intentions are to block system updates, because a newer version is available. ( 1803 / 1809 ).

    Please Advise,

    Hi,

    I am Ganesh Gandhi, an Independent Adviser and Office Insider for Android. I am here to work with you on this problem.

    As guided by other person, you have blocked 1803 update.

    In order to stop Windows 10 from installing any Updates on your computer use:

    1. Settings app,
    2. Group Policy,
    3. Use a metered connection step

    (refer links below).
