    How can I stop Windows 11 automatic updates?


    I'm looking to permanently stop Windows 11 from automatically updating. I would like to update when I decide is the right time to do so, now when my OS thinks is an acceptable time. Such as in the middle of a meeting, or any time between the hours or 8:00AM and 9:00PM. In addition to this, I want to stop the "you need to update" messages that pop up every 5 minutes or so. I'm an adult and do not need my laptop telling me that I need to upgrade the latest Windows features that keep ruining my workflow. Please can someone help?

    :)

    Vista Automatic Updating Error

    Resolution Suggestion:

    # To resolve this problem, make sure that BITS and the Automatic Updates service are started..

    A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!

    1. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

    2. In the list of services, right-click Automatic Updates, and then click Properties.

    3. In the Startup type list, click Automatic, and then click Apply.

    4. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

    5. Right-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and then click Properties.

    6. In the Startup type list, click Manual, and then click Apply.

    7. If Service status is set to Stopped, click Start, and then click OK.

    windows automatic updates

    i have some questions about the windows automatic updates in windows xp pro w sp/2. ive got about forty updates they recommend , mostly for security but i only installed two today. after installing them i found them in my add/remove programs in the control panel, if i add all these updates that is a lot of space on my hd almost 1 gig. i thought that updates just updated files and not created new programs. should i innore all these update suggestions from microsoft?
