I need help to figure out the URL (domain) that MS uses to push updates to the Windows 10 OS. MS has many domains, and I want to know just the one that is used to automatically check for new updates and download them to the computer.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Absolutely. Blocking the service doesn't work (it comes back).

    I hate these stupid and annoying updates, I want to update once every 6 months, not every week.

    Hello there! I am Charity, I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

    I'm glad to help you today!

    I understand you need help with identifying domains used in Windows Update.

    Unfortunately there are multiple domains used for Windows Update which can be found in this article below.

    Would blocking just one of them work?

    Unfortunately Microsoft uses all of these URLs to download, verify and push updates on Windows machines.
