  1. Default Prevent Windows 10 Upgrade
  2.  
  3. This is minimal guide to handle and prevent the Windows 10 Upgrade on Windows 7 (applies to Windows 8.1 as well)
  4. that also includes the so called Telemetry updates
  5.  
  6. there is two basic ways for that:
  7. 1) block the upgrade itself, keeping related updates installed
  8. 2) remove any updates that would facilitate the upgrade
  9.  
  10. download the sample batch scripts: here or here
  11.  
  12.  
  13. = Block related Windows 10 upgrade and telemetry settings =
  14.  
  15. # Advantages:
  16. - get use of latest Windows Update Client which solves the high CPU/Memory scan issue, and perhaps the slow/stuck scan issue
  17. - seemingly make the related updates harmless (disabled), thus can safely enable Automatic Updates (as long as 'Recommended' updates option is off)
  18. - do not need to keep track of future related updates, or if a new updates version released
  19.  
  20. # Disadvantages:
  21. - no one would know what microsoft could come up with, so some blocking settings may get reverted by future updates
  22. but you can always run/schedule the blocking script after any updating operation just in case
  23.  
  24. # Script:
  25. extract W10-Block.cmd of download pack, then right-click and select 'Run as administrator'
  26. or copy the following and save as W10-Block.cmd
  27. Spoiler:

  101. # Schedule task:
  102. to make sure the blocking settings are always set, you can create a schedule task to run the script at logon as example
  103. 1- copy W10-Block.cmd to C:\Windows directory
  104. 2- open command prompt as administrator and execute:

  116.  
  117. # Disadvantages:
  118. - needs constant tracking of all future updates to determine which are related or harmful
  119. - Automatic Updates can cause related updates to be installed, specially for new versions of known updates
  120. - skipping latest Windows Update Client which solves the slow/high-resources scans

  236. - the script will need updating when new related updates are released, by appending KB numbers to the list in second line
  237. - the hiding operation depend on checking updates using WU api, therefore the process may take some time specially on fresh system with no updates installed
  238. - thanks to MysTikAL3 for original HideUpdates.vbs

  240. 3) Extra:
  241. if you suspect or found that there upgrade related files downloaded, you may run these commands in admin cmd to clean them up
  242. Spoiler:
