Windows 11 upgrade pop up on windows 10 machines

Question

Hi all users in a domain are getting this pop up

Is there a way to turn this off ?

We are not using WSUS, we are using intune

Answer 1

You can disable through the Group Policy:

Start > Run > gpedit.msc > Enter key

Navigate to:

Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business

On the right pane, double-click the “Select the Target Feature Update Version” entry.

A “Select the Target Feature Update Version” window will open. Here, activate the “Enabled” option. Then click the “Target Version for Feature Updates” field and type “21H1” (without quotes) or whatever your preferred release is. Finally, click “Apply” followed by “OK.”

Answer 2

I think maybe we would have to create this policy from scratch as no policy exists currently in the path of local computer policy

Hello @Barry Sayer

I will advise you to have a look on below articles to prevent Windows 11 upgrade using registry or GPO settings.

Hello BarrySayer-5360

Thanks for reporting about the popup however I am curious to know whether this popup is actually coming on your system while you are active and working and popup coming from taskbar (bottom right side of screen) ?

OR

Is it when you manually go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update ?

Please clarify on this.
