I upgraded to Windows 11 and reverted back to Windows 10. Now Windows 10 automatically attempts to download and install Windows 11 again. See below:
I can Pause Updates but doing so doesn't allow me to update Windows 10 "patches." I'm being forced to Upgrade to Windows 11 without the ability to stop it.
I want to cancel the Upgrade to Windows 11 (download/installation) process which initiated on its own without my consent. The current status is how it shows in the image above - ready to download and then install Windows 11 but there is no way to stop it.

I was happily using Linux for over a decade but it seems they've made much harder to install it on new laptops now.
So I'm forced to using windows again and dealing with all of its cr@p.

No.
This will block all updates. This topic is about blocking the 'Windows 11' update only, without blocking the updates for Windows 10.
Hello, how are you?
My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.
I understand that you would like to block the Windows 11 update.
You can do this by performing a registry setup on your Windows.
That way Windows Update won't install the Windows 11 version until you cancel the configuration to release receipt of that update.
As Windows Update has already started downloading the update, it may not be possible to cancel it, but I recommend you do the procedure below and restart your computer, if you have already reinstalled the Windows 11 update, you will need to go back to Windows 10.
After that, please access the link below and follow the procedure.
It will help you with this configuration.
