Hi andrei186,
Yes, It is possible to disable Windows Update from the registry, please copy the below registry values in notepad, save as NoUpdate.reg, and double-click on the file to merge into the registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001 "AUOptions"=dword:00000002

Hi andrei186 ,
Your system is not updated to the most current release of Windows 10 (21H2), I would suggest you run Windows Update as it will fix a lot of security issues and improve the system performance. After successfully updating to 21H2, you may turn off the update as you mentioned earlier.
- I know but this does not explain why you expect it properly update now while it has been failing doing so for the previous 13 months?
It is recommended to keep all the latest updates on all the Windows 10 edition, including the preinstalled as well.
- Thank you. Yerlier I mentioned that I am frightened with updates because one time the update made my PC unbootable and Microsoft refused to take any responsibility or offer an assistance.
I will do another update, but will you please will you help me understand one thing: I bought this Win10 preinstalled on a brand new HP Pavilion desktop 13 months ago. Until you helped me to block updates early this week, it was doing updates regularly (last tiome about a week ago) and yet failed to get updated to the most current release of Windows 10 (21H2).
What makes you think that if I make another update, it will update properly? Do I need this time to run the update with some specific parameters?
