      In Windows, you can disable Windows Updates temporarily by stopping the Windows Update service. Here’s how you can do it:

      Note: It’s generally not recommended to disable Windows Updates for an extended period, as updates often contain important security and stability fixes. Only disable them temporarily if you have a specific reason, like preventing updates during a critical task.

      Using Services:

      1. Press Win + R: Simultaneously press the Windows key and the R key on your keyboard to open the Run dialog.
      2. Type “services.msc”: In the Run dialog, type “services.msc” (without quotes) and press Enter. This opens the Services window.
      3. Find “Windows Update”: In the Services window, scroll down or use the alphabetical order to locate “Windows Update.”
      4. Stop the Service: Right-click on “Windows Update” and select “Stop” from the context menu. This stops the Windows Update service temporarily.

      Now, Windows Updates are disabled until you manually restart the service.

      To re-enable Windows Updates:

      1. Follow the same steps to open the Services window.
      2. Find “Windows Update” again.
      3. Right-click on “Windows Update” and select “Start” from the context menu. This restarts the Windows Update service, and updates will resume downloading and installing.

      Remember to re-enable Windows Updates and keep your system up to date for security and performance reasons.
