   it is not recommended to disable Windows updates entirely because doing so can leave your system vulnerable to security threats and may cause compatibility issues with software and hardware. However, if you want to disable Windows updates temporarily for a specific period, you can use the pause feature in Windows Update. Here’s how:

   1. Click on the Start menu and select “Settings” (the gear icon).
   2. In the Settings window, click on “Update & Security.”
   3. In the Windows Update tab, click on “Advanced options.”
   4. Scroll down to the “Pause updates” section and click on the toggle switch to turn it on.
   5. Choose the date until when you want to pause updates.

   However, if you still want to disable Windows updates entirely, here are the steps to do so:

   Note: We strongly advise against disabling Windows updates as it can make your system vulnerable to security threats and can cause compatibility issues with software and hardware.

   1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
   2. Type “services.msc” in the Run box and press Enter.
   3. In the Services window, scroll down to “Windows Update” and double-click on it.

   

   1. In the Windows Update Properties window, click on the “General” tab.
   2. In the Startup type drop-down menu, select “Disabled.”
   3. Click on “Apply” and then “OK” to save the changes.

   

   After following these steps, Windows updates will be disabled on your device. However, we strongly recommend that you keep Windows updates enabled to ensure that your system is up to date with important security patches and bug fixes.
