how to Stop Automatic update in Windwos 10 IoT Enteprirse LTSB 2016

Question

_{Thursday, November 15, 2018 12:01 PM}

Dear team,

 We want stop Windows Automatic Updates on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 . Our products being real-time systems, we need to stop Automatic Updates and Administrator will update the same, as required. So I tried all options of “Configure Automatic Updates” in GPO, then too windows updates were applied automatically. Finally I disabled the Windows Update Service before making the image and it works. Is this the correct way to block windows update or is there any other recommended way to achieve the same.

Please response asap

Thank you!

Hi jacknee,

Thanks for your posting here.

Yes, we can disable the windows update service but it will turn on again at a later time, according to some users. Here is an article describes the detailed steps that should disable auto update permanently:

Besides, here are other normal methods including GPO or windows update service to disable auto update, for your reference:
