How can I turn off windows updates?
The new windows update settings page is extremely basic and appears to lack many options from windows 7.
I am concerned about updates downloading and update checks being performed whilst gaming. I would not be happy with bandwidth or system resources being used up during my play sessions as performance may be impacted.
Is there any way to either disable the updates or to ensure update checks and downloads are only performed at specific times?
don't know any way of turning of MS OS updates.....you can schedule the restart, so it doesn't restart while you are working on the PC.....using god mode ( search this forum for instructions) you can disable driver updating.....the only other way of disabling MS OS updates, as far as I am aware is to,use WIFI NOT an Ethernet cable, then in internet settings in settings you can tell windows you are on a metered connection and it is meant to disable MS updates as it would cost you, being on a ' metered' connection.....seemed to work with mine, but WIFI too slow so went back to Ethernet connection and just disabled driver updates in god mode.....How can I turn off windows updates?

Run this as admin via CMD and updates will only download, when you click on Check for updates:
reg add "HKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU" /v "NoAutoUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
HiRun this as admin via CMD and updates will only download, when you click on Check for updates:
reg add "HKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU" /v "NoAutoUpdate" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
thats handy to know....will use this myself, thanks
In addition:
Windows Update Automatic Updates - Enable or Disable in Windows 10
Windows Updates - Hide or Show in Windows 10
Well for most users, it is best to set it to Notify, so Windows will check for updates, but not download.Hi

reg add "HKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU" /v "AUOptions" /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f

Ok thanks!
That should be just what I needed.
Only OPTION ONE and OPTION TWO wouldn't work in the Home edition. The others will.but apart from the metered connection option ( using WIFI only) the others I assume do not work in Windows 10 Home, is this correct...?

Is there command which displays available updates, but let me choose which to download and install, like one of the update options in Windows 8.1?
