You can turn off the service: Windows Update. This was done by a Microsoft support tech on one of my computers (perhaps dispelling assertions to the contrary by others). It's worked for us.

Seems risky. 1803 isn't a known quantity (to me).
I have 3 workstations that continually refuse to succeed in upgrading from 1703 to 1709. All of the other workstations (over 50 of them) have upgraded successfully. They are similar enough that...
Brink, Thanks!
Now all one might look for is a script to reset the pause setting each day or each week.
But, is it also correct that one can't "pause" unless the machine is up-to-date?
OK. And that pause is independent of any deferred receipt date? It starts when it starts. What happens in the interim if the date specified is in the future?
Yes, I know that. The original question remains and doesn't appear to be covered at all in the tutorial. Did I miss it?
Brink,
Thanks. The presentation is quite different. The settings are being made using gpedit.msc and, now, the Settings dialog says: ""*Some settings are managed by your organization". But...
Today, it appears that 1709 will not allow updates to be turned off (such as turning off the Windows Update service). This will be overwritten to "Manual" from "Disabled". KB4088776 of 3/13/2018...
We've certainly seen similar problems.
Some lists are short as the examples are.
Some lists are long and have but one computer missing (seems like always the same one!).

Often, when I'm repairing a computer, I need to know what OS was running on one that won't boot.
However, I can boot using a live CD and examine the files. Maybe a Linux live CD.
So, now that I...
We have receipt printers which connect via parallel port. We are changing to newer printers which connect via USB port. Because of an important application (from our Application Service Provider),...
??? Disk Management is part of Windows.
This is an ASUS AS BM6820.
It's somehow stuck in booting and neither normal nor safe modes will get to the login screen.
I am wondering if the boot files are all OK because:
In this case the OS...
It's still at 4.3.0. How did you fix it??
Well, I've looked at it a bit now and don't find the connection. For example, if passwords are required then where/how is that connection made? Or is it that there is *no* such blanket setting and...
bro67: I used the link you provided and scanned the contents. All I could see was information about file shares .. i.e. specifically. I'm sorry if my question wasn't clearer. I'm asking about...
How can I use PowerShell to turn on/off "Password Protected Sharing" setting in Advanced sharing settings?
I would note that to go to the last setting in UAC, you have to reboot for it to take effect.
An hypothesis:
If the discovery slide switch doesn't appear at the 3rd level of UAC then:
Go to the...
Updates setting Windows back to default is scary. It would obviate perhaps considerable investment in configurations.
But no, I don't know of any. The switching back behavior has been frequent.
I just did a set of tests on the one machine we have that has this problem. i.e. it sets itself to Public and then we have to change it back to Private. But, the familiar "Make this PC...
Interesting question....
I'll look into it.
And, yes, I believe it could happen.
But, I must say, if an update or a new driver installation would change key system settings then something is...
New information:
I used PowerShell commands to set the network type to Private. That seemed to work.
This morning when the user came in, it was set to Public again. I don't believe the computer...
Yes. The UAC is set to the Default which is supposed to show these things as I understand it. And that's where I found it.

The network has been set to Private.

I have one like this that started out Public.
I had to use the PowerShell approach to change it to Private.
HOWEVER:
The dialogs like these:...
