Try the Spydish freeware to manage and stop unwanted Windows 10 updates

Spydish bundles privacy and security settings under Windows 10 and allows to block functional updates.

Just as O&O ShutUp10 the freeware tool Spydish summarizes important privacy and security settings under Windows 10. A stable release of the new Spydish app is out and added a new policy to "Block major Windows 10 updates"

Finding a specific privacy setting in Windows 10 options is usually not easy. The free tool Spydish, which summarizes important settings for the privacy and security of the user under one surface, provides a remedy. Active policies are marked with the status "Configured" as in the Group Policy Editor and indicates that your privacy is protected. The inactive ones are declared as "Not configured". All available policies can be enabled as well as disabled.

The version 0.15 offers a useful feature into the program that Microsoft recently removed from Windows 10. Users of Windows 10 Pro can block major Windows function updates by making an entry in the registry. Spydish offers this feature now. If you activate the "Block major Windows Updates" function in the tool, Spydish automatically makes the registry entry for you. Windows 10 function updates will no longer be offered, so that your system continues to run under the currently installed Windows version. You will only automatically receive a version update if no updates are published for this.
