I'm really frustrated with Windows 11 and its constant updates. I've tried to stop them, but the system keeps updating on its own, even when I don't want it to. It updated while I was away, and when I uninstalled the update, it just came back when I turned my PC off. I even disabled the software that manages updates in the services but that keeps resetting itself. I'm at the point where I'm willing to try anything, even third-party software, to prevent any future updates. Is there a way to permanently disable updates on Windows 11?

You can technically disable updates, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Computers need those updates to protect against new malware and security threats. If you really want to go this route, you could use a tool like the Windows Update Disabler, but just know you're putting your system at risk. Seriously, think about it before making that choice!
Have you considered using software to control updates? Winhance can remove update features altogether. Just be careful, because avoiding updates can lead to vulnerabilities in your system. It's a risky game to play.
One option is to mess with your router settings to block access to update servers, but that seems like a hassle. Also, just ignoring the update prompts usually ends up with your PC updating at the worst possible times. Instead, maybe try setting your active hours, so updates happen while you're not using your computer.
Honestly, why are you so against updates? Not keeping your system updated opens a door for hackers. It's worth dealing with the interruptions since updates often patch vulnerabilities.
