These steps will disable automatic download and installation of Windows Update, meaning you can manually push through updates while in office/if needed while on-site
1. Open Group Policy Editor
(Windows Key + R - gpedit.msc)
2. Navigate to the following
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update
3. Set the following:
| Key | Value |
| Configure Automatic Updates | Disable |
| Turn on Software Notifications | Disable |
| No Auto-Restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations | Enable |
| Do not include drivers with windows updates | Enable |
These will apply after a restart, or you can type gpupdate/force within an elevated CMD
You will now have to manually check for Windows updates within settings
