It's 2019, How to *disable* automatic reboots and updates in Windows 10? Old methods are no longer working



Many of the solutions to prevent windows 10 from doing their auto reboot updates are not working anymore. The solutions posted here:


No, this question is not a duplicate. Hence: "It's 2019"


How to *disable* automatic reboots in Windows 10?


Are outdated and just a waste of time for everyone to try as they do NOT work anymore. It's 2019, what tricks does Microsoft have up their sleeves to force an auto shutdown update?


Many people seeking help want to disable updates completely. Not just auto reboot. Please do not post answers that only disable auto reboot. Alot of the times when windows update with new patches, it removes certain programs that it deems unnecessary. In my case it constantly removes my work's vpn software. wtf!? I just want to disable updates completely!


What are the latest ways of preventing further updates on Windows 10? Home and Pro versions. Solutions that don't need to install software would be best, but also installing 3rd party software can be possible too for the non-tech savvy.


Answer



This tool from Greatis (https://greatis.com/blog/stopupdates10) lets you turn updates on and off easily, I've been using it for quite awhile. After an update's been released I wait for all the crap to get sorted out, you know, things like it deleting ALL your personal files, then install the update once it's been fixed.
