    Windows Update settings won't stay uncheck.


    Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update\Change settings

    Important updates
    [check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them]

    Microsoft Update & Software notifications will not stay unchecked.

    I unchecked them & re-open Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update\Change settings the checkmark returns. Any fix?

    I got that problem too when running a third party windows update program that can supposedly block Windows 10 upgrade updates. I couldn't get it to work but I do have real time registry monitoring and it added the following:

    Registry Key hkey_local_machine\software\policies\microsoft\windows\windowsupdate
    Subkey AU has been added

    Try setting the value to 5 if it is set to something different. Log off/ on or a reboot may be required.

    Note the current settings so that you can reverse the changes!

I've turned off windows updates (don't download and don't install), and stopped and disabled the service, but it keeps installing some updates. When I look at windows services later, instead of the "Disabled" I set it to, it says "Automatic (delayed start)". How can I disable it for sure?
