It doesn't work. My system still tries to update, causing my fan to go into overdrive making too much noise, and using most of my CPU.

Note:
Disabling Windows updates permanently is NOT RECOMMENDED and will expose your Windows device to many security risks. Your system will be vulnerable and cause many problems. New updates always bring bug and security fixes + many improvements to your Windows operating system. But if you are still willing to block automatic updates, please try the below steps to disable it from the registry and see if that helps
- Open the Start menu, type regedit, and then click on Registry Editor.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
- From the right panel, double-click on the NoAutoUpdate (REG_DWORD) and set its value to 1. Click OK to confirm.
- Restart the computer to affect the changes.
I hope this will help you to sort out the issue. Please let me know if you need further assistance. Thank you!
Regards
Gopal
