Answer 1

There are several methods to stop windows update.

1. According to my experience this is the best way. Stop The Windows Update Service

As central as it is to the core of Windows 10, Windows Update is actually just another Windows process so it can be stopped with these simple steps:

1. Open the Run command (Win + R), in it type: services.msc and press enter
2. From the Services list which appears find the Windows Update service and open it and stop it.
3. In ‘Startup Type’ (under the ‘General’ tab) change it to ‘Disabled’
4. Restart To re-enable Windows Update simply repeat these four steps, but change the Startup Type to ‘Automatic’.

Here attached image how this done.

2. Go to services> windows update> disable Windows Update > Change Settings > Never Check for Updates.
