Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time - eviltoast
It’s for your own good, mind (and some Windows 11 users will get this too)
  • A new patch is being quietly pushed to Windows 10 (and 11) PCs
  • It’ll force upgrades in certain circumstances to keep the PC in support
  • This update will mean more nag prompts coming to your PC

    Absolutely, yes, I’ve had it disabled since the first W10 feature update. It gets harder with every new release, but it is doable.

    You need to manually disable these services with Regedit

    -Update Orchestrator (UsoSvc)

    -Windows Update Medic Service (WaaSMedicSvc)

    -Windows Update (wuauserv)

    -Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate + edgeupdatem)

    -Microsoft Edge Elevation Service (MicrosoftEdgeElevationService)

    Then you need to go into Task Scheduler and disable all the tasks under the services listed above. I’d also suggest not using Edge, as it will now aggressively repair Windows Update, even with all this stuff disabled.
