    How to delete/ prevent automatic windows 10 1903 update


    So Im currently on version 1803 and I would like to keep it that way. Unfortunately windows downloaded 1903 and is prompting me to restart in order to install it. How do I delete the update, and prevent it from updating automatically updating in the future?

    It would be wise to update it. It is out of date.

    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
    Delete the above folder. Then, disable automatic updates:
