Guide To *Actually* Disabling Windows 10 Upgrades

[jt4242]

Hi, I went through the guide and think I followed all the steps. When the pc restarts, it opens around 5 of the command windows (?) but the relevant error refers to the second line of the disable service triggers.bat - i think.

that is the line:
sc triggerinfo wuauserv delete
and I get an error:
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig2 FAILED 87:
The parameter is incorrect

There is another error in a different command window
[SC] OpenService FAILED 5:
Access is denied

Do you know how I can fix these problems?

thanks for the guide!

I think I already replied to your email, But basically errors=Good.
Errors mean the service was already turned off, so the script couldn't turn something off, if it wasn't on to begin with.
You want all of this stuff to be off.
So if you see any errors, you should be happy, that means your system didn't have to turn off a service, and that service remained off from the previous script.

***UPDATE***

So as I previously posted, This method worked for a little bit. But it did NOT stop my PC from upgrading.... IDK what to tell you, MS is really taking control and there's nothing I can think of (besides keeping your PC offline 100%) that will prevent updates. This method worked to keep my PC from updating for a few moths, but it eventually did upgrade.

With all of this being said, the new Spring update has been the answer to my Resolume fps problems. I'm happy with it. The entire purpose of this post and work I put in was to keep my systems far far far away from the horrid Fall update. That was like cancer to my PC's. Now that the Fall update is no longer the latest and greatest, I'm happy with my PC's updating to the Spring update.

So.... If the Admin's or

Joris

would like, please feel free to delete this thread, as the purpose behind it is no longer relevant. AND, since it obviously wan't a 100% fix to keeping my PC's from eventually updating
Thanks MS
