Or just set two registry keys and never think about it again or have third party programs running https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3080351 https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3080351 Just save the following in a .reg file and run or add the keys manually and you never see any of the upgrade crap ever again. At least I never have since last July when I did this on a Win7 machine. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "DisableOSUpgrade"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GWX] "DisableGWX"=dword:00000001

The problem with this is that malware keeps evolving: originally it used to be a single key, but look, people kept disabling it, canna have that, let's make it two keys. GWX has its own update, and keeps up with the squirming Windows Nein Update fairly well.

  As far as I can tell the advice has been to change both of the keys for at least a year now. When did it change?

  They have worked since before the release of Windows 10. I don't really understand why people have such a hard time with this, especially here of all places.
