    The difference is that in Windows7 you can disable auto updates and you will never see constant 50% CPU, 100% HDD usage.
    And 50% means 1 core fully utilized(100% core 0) with god knows what, slowing down the whole machine.
    How can you have 50% CPU, 100% HDD on a machine that is doing almost nothing?

    Useful conversions. I don't "speak" imperial. Please use metric, if you want to address me.
    1km=1000m=100000cm, 1inch=2.54cm, 1mile=1609.344meters, 1ft=30.48cm 1gal(US)=3.785liters, 1lb=453grams, 1oz=28.34grams

      You can disable it with Pro with GPEDIT. Not sure about home. I think it can be disabled using 'shutup 10'....but anytime I set up a 10 system for a customer, it's always pro.

        Well, gpedit options are limited to "notify before download and install". One click, and the updates start. The problem with GPEDIT is that contrary to the registry it's not easy to "export policy". This does not apply for domain connected computers, of course.

          Local Computer Policy -> Comupter Config -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update

          'Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations' -> enable
          'Remove access to all Windows Update features' -> enable

          Then:

          Local Computer Policy -> Comupter Config -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Internet Communication Settings

          'Turn off access to all Windows Update features' -> enable

          Then run shutup 10 and disable all.

          After that, windows update is done and 10 remains silent; doesn't download anything, doesn't ask about anything. There's a little more gpedit tweaking for other things, but above will kill windows update on Pro.

            Thanks. Seems like I somehow missed this information. I also found the source

              Actually with pro, you can disable optional updates, but security updates are still go

                Hello, thank you for this information, my computer, unfortunately, does not have the KB3035583 update installed, but I will download it because the more update, the better it is, but I don't know why it did not install because it does not detect it

                  I remember an update removing KB3035583 after the "free upgrade to Windows 10" period ended.

                  I wonder how long it will be before there is a "Get Windows 11" update.

                    If you have an older machine, you're shielded from the updates (due to their draconian requirements)?

                    I just filled my windows partition with a disk image used for Linux. It sure won't be downloading anything...

                      Do you have Windows 11 home or pro?

                      With home you can only postpone updates for a period of time (up to 5 weeks) at least officially, with pro you can disable them through group policy. There are also a few "unofficial" (use these at your own risk as Microsoft does not support them) ways of preventing updates by disabling the windows update service or editing the registry.
