Computer Setup and System Configuration • Re: Windows Updates cancel a PCIe card so not visible in Device Manager - any safe ways to stop updates nowadays?

Windows 11 Pro. For real, if you use HOME version you are asking for blood from your nose
Hm, been running a year and 1 month now, no updates, no sudden restarts, no problems. It just works And yes I plan to update to newer version later on.

Thanks.
I have W11 Pro.

Are you using a blocker, or just group policy stuff?

Home editions are lacking group policy editor I believe. I have W10 Home on laptop I use for internet like writing this.

As a preparation for possibly getting a new daw computer I tested Sledgehammer script on laptop, and that seemed to work. But that was 4 years ago.
- a bit of a hassle to revert from that though
- had to mess around a bit

I run Update Blocker linked to above on my daw computer now, will see if that extends over new year which is paused updates for now.

Lots of stuff i task scheduler that are grayed and blocked by Microsoft nowadays, so you cannot reach everything and try out.
- there are some commands that unhide some accounts that come with every windows
- maybe use those can override those blocked items

Some years ago there were tips for blocking updates that involved going into task scheduler and disable stuff.
- not possible anymore
