Disabling Microsoft Update
Running Windows 10, version 2004, build 19041.329.
I would like to fully disable Windows 10 update, and only allow it to run when I decide to let it run. (Thanks in advance for all who will warn me what a terrible idea this is. I appreciate your concern. I am disinclined to acquiesce to your pleas. But thank you.)
I am wondering if I edit the etc/hosts file to provide a bogus ip address for microsoft.com, would that do the trick? Wouldn't the update engine not be able to locate the updates?
