Can I delete Windows 11 24H2 update notice?
I don't want to install Windows 11 24H2 and plan to stick with 23H2 until the bugs are fixed in 24H2. How can I disable the update notice?

You can pause updates for a certain period:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Click on Windows Update.
3. Select Pause updates for 7 days. You can repeat this as necessary, but this is a temporary solution.Look for policies related to update notifications and see if you can configure them to disable the 24H2 update notice. The exact policy might vary, so look for settings related to "Target Version" or "Update notifications."
If you want to stay on 23H2, you need to set it as target version in Group Policy.
Upgrading to 24H2 is recommended though.
Please bear in mind that 24H2 is currently incompatible with several anti-cheat software that is needed to play games in Windows. This is due to the removed settings for memory-integrity or core-isolation (if I remember correctly) in 24H2.
So until that it fixed - some games are just not playable on 24H2.
...which is why I still run 23H2. Because the game I spend several hours each week on use a anti-cheat that bricks the game on a 24H2. 😪
While these methods can help you disable update notifications, remember that keeping your system updated is important for security and stability. If you disable updates, make sure to regularly check for important updates manually to avoid potential vulnerabilities.
Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU.
Right-click and add a new DWORD (32-bit) value called NoAutoUpdate and set its value to 1. This should disable automatic updates.
