Does this actually work? I tried (permanently) disabling updates on my Surface Go (running Windows 10) a few months ago but kept failing. The worst thing is, you don't know if what you did works or not, because you need to wait until the next update :D

I've also seen user experience reports in the wild that say, “I tried those settings but I still had a forced update halfway through my Big Important Presentation”.

I haven't had that myself so far. Hate to say it works on my machine but that's been my experience to date.

Those users invariably have been blindly clicking away the update notification and have picky themselves to blame.

Clicking away the dialogue should never trigger the update. It's the opposite of what the whole UI of Windows has always worked like.

And you're wrong either way - I've had forced updates wreck Windows without seeing a single notification or update setting beforehand.
