Automatic updates can usually make a computer or laptop is more agile and secure. However, not a few think that this feature is a little annoying. This problem is often encountered by Windows 10 users. The operating system does have an unexpected automatic update feature.

In addition, this periodic update feature usually encourages users to turn off and restart the computer, so that those who are working can be disturbed.
Well, this time we want to discuss ways or tricks to turn off the automatic updates feature, especially on computers / laptops running the Windows 10 operating system. The following are the steps for turning off updates in Windows 10.
First, click the “Start” menu and then go to the settings menu ( settings ) with menekanklik icon that resembles a “overdrive”. Or you can also type the keyword “Settings” in the search field next to the Start button. Then press the “Enter” key. Later, you will be presented with various computer settings menus. Here, select the “Update & Security” menu.
On the next page, select the “Windows Update” menu in the row of menus displayed on the left. Then, select the “Advanced options” menu in the display on the right.
Now, on the next page, you can turn off some of the available options, such as “Receive updates for other …” and “Download updates over …”, by clicking the two buttons to “Off”. Then, you will also need to specify how long automatic updates will be suspended via the “Select date” drop-down menu marked in the image above.
Please note, you can only suspend this feature for 35 days. After passing the deadline, you are required to update your computer, before you can turn off the automatic updates feature again.
