But there is a workaround to turn off automatic updates in Windows 10. Unfortunately in Windows 10, Microsoft does not offer any option for general consumers to turn off automatic updates. In Windows 8.1 and before, Microsoft allowed users to turn off auto updates completely. But some users will not want automatic updates as it might take up system and network resources when they are doing critical work.
Windows Update automatically installs important updates as they become available. With automatic updating, you don’t have to search for updates online or worry that critical fixes or device drivers for Windows might be missing from your PC. Windows 10 is a service, which means automatic updates are turned on by default and your PC always has the latest and best features.
