How to stop Windows 10 2004 from auto-installing things?
I have a lot of experience with Windows installs. In general, I disable auto-updates in Windows right after I've installed it, so I can manually run Windows Update when I like.
However, in a new Windows installation I've done (where I used the Media Creation Tool to create a Windows 10 Pro 2004 installer), despite the fact that I disabled automatic updates in the registry and the Group Policy Editor (and rebooted), AS SOON AS I CONNECTED IT TO MY NETWORK, it started downloading and installing things - both apps and drivers - and saying "X just got installed. Check it out." in the notification area.
This is new behavior to me. I wonder if this is new behavior with Release 2004?
Does anyone know how I can completely stop Windows 10 2004 from downloading drivers, apps and system updates, and only run when I run Windows Update manually? I used to be able to do this in the past, but now it seems impossible. I'm sure there must be some registry or group policy trick other than what I've already done, no?
