How to Permanently Stop NWuApiHost.exe and Event Viewer Warnings
I need a solution to prevent the ongoing warnings from appearing in the images without enabling or resuming 'Windows Update'. These warnings are consuming significant disk space. The system showing these warnings will always be offline and 'Windows Update' will be paused during any temporary internet connection. One of the images displays a CLSID pointing to wuapihost.exe. How can I achieve this goal?

Since you want to keep Windows Update paused and offline, but suppress warnings, you can disable the notification prompts through registry modifications.

In Services, set the startup type for the Windows Update service to Disabled, and delete the contents of the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder to stop logging.
