How to allow all Win10 Updates but prevent all Win11 Update notifictn?

pstein · 14 Apr 2023

I am working with the newest Windows 10 version.

When I look at my systray a symbol appears indicating that new updates are available.
But the missing updates are UPGRADES to Windows 11.

I don't want to be remembered for all "Windows 11" updates.
And I don't wan to install Windows 11.

But I want to be remembered for all Windows 10 updates.
and manually install them after download.

When I right-click on the SysTray symbol and select the taskbar context menu "Hide for now" then it will re-appear after a while.

So this is NOT a solution forever.

Any other way?

I have seen the suggestion that you use
Specify Target Feature Update Version - TenForumsTutorials
by specifying a Windows 10 Version [such as your current 22H2]
but I was not convinced so I asked in the tutorial thread - see posts #50-#53.
It certainly seems, based on communal experience to date, that the method works to ward off Windows 11.

I've just set it on one of my computers [which asked me if I wanted Windows 11 only this morning].
- I had to create the TargetReleaseVersionInfo entry [New, String value]
- I set it to 25H2 in the hope that it does not need changing.
- If the Windows 11 threat re-appears I'll change it to 22H2 [my current version] to see if that's any better.

I'll post again if anything happens.

It's worked for me... (widely documented).
