Re: How to prevent automated updates on Windows 10 Home

Hi Barry,

you can go to the Task Scheduler.
Microsoft->Windows->UpdateOrchestrator
Then run the task "Schedule Scan" manually by right click.
If the result is "permission denied", automated updates are blocked successful.

Cheers,
Thorsten

Thanks. That was hard work!

It's not clear from the website (link you gave) what I should see at
the very end.

I right clicked on UsoClient.exe, Properties, Security, Advanced,
Permissions (Continue).

There are 3 entries
Trusted Installer - Full Control
All application packages - Read & execute
All restricted application packages - Read & execute.

Is that correct? It doesn't seem to be any different from the PC I
have NOT modified.

Do I need to change the Access to Read (only) instead of Read&execute?
