Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10  

Brink said:

completely disable automatic updates for Windows Update.

Does it mean that automatic checks for updates will also be disabled?

Should I follow this article
right ?

what options do I recommend?

Option 1 would be good since you have Windows 10 Pro.

Thank you very much for all the info
While about disabling the driver download what options do I recommend among the 4 available ?

I've used the BrinkFix® scripts successfully to block automatic maintenance and automatic updates on both an older Win10/1607 machine and on a more recent Win10/1703 (Creator's) one. However, on the 1703 computer, the scripts do not prevent automatic updates to the Windows Defender Security Suite. That machine is out in a lab and not always on, but if left on overnight it will show the most recent Defender updates next time I look. I can shut off the Wi-Fi, but unless I'm missing something there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent these specific updates. Security updates aren't really a concern, but the fact that they happen, unbidden, makes me nervous. Any way to keep our friends in Redmond at bay?

Thanks, Brink; I had considered doing that, but hoped that this might have come up and been resolved in as elegant a manner as the initial scripts provided. Thanks!
