Summary:
Windows 11 and 10 offer fewer user interface options compared to earlier versions when it comes to managing operating system updates. Unlike before, there's no straightforward way to disable Windows updates through the "Control Panel" or "Settings" app. Instead, the system autonomously checks for updates and installs them, regardless of user preferences. While this automatic update feature is convenient for most users, it limits control over the update process. If you want to regain control, you can disable the Windows Update service, but re-enabling it when needed isn't always straightforward.
Windows Update Blocker is a free tool that simplifies the process of disabling or enabling automatic updates on Windows systems with just a single click. This utility is portable, meaning it doesn't require installation and leaves no traces on your HDD after removal. By storing the program files on an external device, you can carry Windows Update Blocker with you and use it on any computer you encounter. This is particularly useful for users who have finely tuned systems and wish to avoid any potential disruptions caused by updates. The utility caters to the needs of such users.
