Momo7w Tablet with Windows 10 Home: Permanently Disabling Update Assistant with Limited Disk Space

Hello
I have a Momo7w tablet with Windows 10 Home. This tablet has a disk capacity of only 16 GB. After installing Windows and the most-needed programs like chrome, skype, ccleaner, etc., only 3.66 GB of free space remains.

As we know Windows 10 Home very much limits the ability to turn off the update and I still get the Update Assistant to the latest version of Windows 10.
I can not install this update because it requires 8 GB of free disk space, and I only have 3.66 GB.

I used to turn off the updates in the control panel in the services and it worked, but now it has stopped working, i.e. works for a while, and some time later the assistant is packaged again and tries to download and install.

I am asking for advice on how to get rid of it, for sure there is a way, for example, through burial in the registry, because I am not interested in postponing the update or changing the time of installing them.

Thank you in advance for your help

By. M $ automatic updates can be disabled in versions from PRO up, and in the HOME version it is impossible. Maybe some good people have found a way - I will gladly find out.

It will of course be given by the registry editor:

1. Run the registry editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Windows
3. Create a key named WindowsUpdate and go to it
4. In WindowsUpdate, create an AU key
5. Create a DWORD value named NoAutoUpdate by changing its value to 1
And of course, restart the computer

Let me know if it worked

https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 - this software has the function of tamping updates in Windows 10 (by the way, you can still cure a few other things, although it's worth knowing what's going on in it - in the program itself there are descriptions possible to modify functions).

Thanks very much for hints, I did:
- I have reset the settings to the initial state (I reinstalled removing all files and settings)
- I uninstalled the Windows 10 update assistant (it installed immediately after installing the system)
- In the control panel in the tab "System and security" >> "Administrative tools" >> "Services" >> "Windows Update" changed the status of the service to "Stopped" and the type of startup to "Disabled"
- Then I clicked on the magnifying glass (in the taskbar), in the search field I wrote "Settings" then "Update and security" >> "Advanced options" and here I deferred the update
- Now, like "Settings" above, I chose "Network and Internet" and set the connection properties to use the tariff connection (to limit the amount of data downloaded, including updates)

I do not know if and how much it will help, but for now it does not download updates. Probably help temporarily, for 10 or 35 days (I do not remember what time there was a postponement period), so just in case I set up that I use the tariff connection (Maybe this will prevent me from downloading updates on my network). If not, I will try with this register, and if it does not help, then I will use this program from dt1. Either way, thanks for the hints

PS: If you have other proven ways to block the update, then write I will be watching and in a while I will let you know if it works and what works.

Stopping the update service should be enough (at least in older versions, enough, I have done so on one laptop for over a year and there is silence).

Unfortunately, my actions have not worked, the update assistant is still packing and wants to install updates. Editing the registry also did not help. It looks like these methods have affected the other updates, but not the assistant.

Replacing the update assistant's .exe file also did not help. Every now and again, it gets redone and changes my file. Any ideas yet?

I am currently testing Windows Destroy Spy to completely get rid of the update, anniversary update etc. - I have a 16gb tablet (dedicated to the camera view) and nothing is pushed into it and all the time it pulls off despite being turned off in the background. I released this program and hacks what is ok:

Thanks for the information about the program, I will also try with him. The most important thing is to get rid of the permanent Update Assistant, because the windows update itself is a puff, but this assistant is unbeatable so far

EDIT: 24/03/2018
Unfortunately, the program did not get rid of the update assistant and even if I removed it manually, it was downloaded again and installed, but I managed to effectively kill it and get rid of both its and other updates

Well, yes, for Windows Update, I described above how I beat it, and when it comes to the Update Assistant, it's quite a simple way. Namely, he turns on at a specific time, this is due to an entry in the task schedule. Click the magnifying glass on the taskbar, enter the "Task Scheduler" and look for and kill all entries related to "WindowsUpdate" and the Update Assistant (they probably start with the entry "Assistant ..." or something like that). You can delete or disable these entries, I deleted them just in case

Then we remove the Update Assistant and once again should not install. I hope someone will find this topic useful

Brilliant! I did not think that the schedule of tasks in the microsoft list is the windows update item - I deleted all files.
Previously, I did an even more drastic thing that worked. Namely, I blocked completely the NTFS permissions for the folklore "Windows10Upgrade" on the C: drive. Then nothing could be saved, downloaded or installed there

Hey.

I have the same problem, but on the ultrabook - a micro disk. Could someone write step by step what to do. I see here a lot of ideas, but what actually worked and what is unnecessary? Thanks in advance for your help. Te updaty to masakra: /

Do everything that I wrote in my second post in addition to this

These screenshots are just an example of how to select an entry and delete or disable it. You need to find the ones that have something in the WindowsUpdate and assistant name (I do not remember)

Hello,
I am conquering the subject.

I need to update my 7 Home win to 10 for professional reasons ...

Are there 100% working options to disable updates?

Thanks in advance

I don't know what it is like now, the old tablet has fallen and I have a new one with updates installed and a larger disk.

Try disabling Windows Update in the control panel as described above, and then delete all entries related to Windows Update in the task schedule. As I showed in the pictures, just instead of "Adobe Flssh Player" search there for "WindowsUpdate" and "Assistant" or "Asistant", I do not remember exactly
And the Assistant will not start anymore, because it will not be scheduled to run, and Windows Update will also be turned off and nothing should install updates.

In these photos with the arrows above, I showed the entry "Adobe Flash Player", because I had already removed entries related to updates, and you look for this Assistant and Windows Update. Turn off or delete everything that has this name in it.

Thanks,
on days I will try
