Easiest, simplest way to stop Windows 11 upgrade

There is no clear or definite way that I know of.

You could of course experiment by using the appropriate tutorial to bypass Safeguard Holds, and see if that has any effect.

Using the MCT to make an ISO, then using the ISO to perform an upgrade is faster than letting Windows Update perform an upgrade. The MCT's 'Upgrade this PC now' option works much the same way as Windows Update, and at a similar speed.

How long does the 2004 upgrade take using Windows Update?

I like the idea of faster. But simpler and with less chance for error (I am not a computer expert) is better (for me) than faster. (Unless it's 10 minutes vs 4 hours or something like that).

I already gave you the best solution on post #16 and it's also the fastest.

The 22H2 update finally became available in the Windows Update window and it is installed. It took about 4 minutes to install. Yay!
