I'm running Win10 1709 Home. When I try to disable windows update service by stopping the services first then disabling service, it stops, but upon rebooting services comes back as if nothing had been done.

I tried the following power shell command in admin mode and still same result

stop-service wuauserv
set-service wuauserv –startup disabled

When I try to disable from Registry, Win10 Home does not have the following Registry Folder to enter reg keys

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\

Any help to accomplish this is greatly appreciated

    You cannot block or defer windows updates on Windows 10 Home unless they are not compatible with your hardware which isn’t the case based on your description – Ramhound Dec 15 '17 at 23:40
  • How would one determine if they are not compatible and let the update service know? When we had Windows update fail in the past (Win 7 and prior), it just that after an update the system did not boot anymore. Could Windows 10 have gotten smarter? – Itai Dec 16 '17 at 02:06

    @Itai Hardware determines if a feature update is compatible and there is only a few select devices that can’t run anything greater than 1607. Windows Updates **cannot** be deferred on Windows 10 Home – Ramhound Dec 16 '17 at 03:56

    @Ramhound use the WindowsUpdateMinitool from my answer in the duplicate, here you can hide Feature Update. I do this on my Home edition on my tablet. – magicandre1981 Dec 17 '17 at 08:38
