Any way to turn off Windows 11 upgrade prompt?

Is it possible to turn it off as I don't want to upgrade though this PC does meet all the system requirements.

    Add this key to registry (TargetReleaseVersion) to block the message:

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter to open Group Policy Editor. Now, navigate to the following path:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business

Double-click it and set it to Enabled. In the options, type 21H2 (or the version you want to keep). Click OK.

Restart Your Computer: This should stop the upgrade prompts.
