Windows Update Blocker is an open-source tool that eliminates the need to navigate complex settings. It offers a convenient way to get rid of Windows 11 update permanently and provides intuitive control over the service through a lightweight graphical interface.

How to Get Rid of the Windows 11 Update Permanently

Step 1: Download the software from GitHub and install it.

Step 2: Open the application—no installation is required.

Step 3: Click Disable Service.

Step 4: Click Apply to immediately block updates.

Finally, to re-enable updates later, click Enable Service, then click Apply.

The software is ad-free, has no restrictions, and is easy to use, making it ideal for users who lack technical knowledge but need to permanently block Windows 11 updates. However, after a major system update, Windows may re-enable this service, at which point you’ll need to reapply the blocking settings.

Pros:

  • Open-source with a clean interface
  • One-click disable/enable
  • Portable executable file

Cons:

  • Windows re-enables the service after updates
  • Blocking settings need to be reapplied periodically
  • Antivirus software may flag the tool as suspicious
