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.
Sideny_Strouth Some third-party tools and scripts are designed to provide more control over Windows Update notifications. Tools like Winero Twaeker can help disable upgrade notifications.
You can also adjust your Windows Update settings to reduce or stop notifications regarding upgrades. Here’s how to modify the settings:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
- Click on Advanced options.
- In the Notifications section, turn off the toggle for "Notify me when a new version of Windows is available."
- Thanks, Koanas, it works for me!
- Add this key to registry (TargetReleaseVersion) to block the message:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate - Keep in mind that these settings may prevent notifications for other important updates as well, depending on the method used.
- If you have the Windows 11 Update Assistant installed, uninstalling it might also help:
1.Open Settings and go to Apps > Apps & features.
2. Look for anything relating to Windows 11 and uninstall it. One simple trick to fix this is by uninstalling the Windows update if available!
Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery. Under Go back to the previous version of Windows 10, select Get started if the option is available.
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 BusinessDouble-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.
If you were once a Windows Insider, and then rolled back to Windows 10, check your settings. Ensure you're not enrolled in any previews or beta programs related to Windows 11 updates in your Microsoft account settings.
