A free utility to manage Windows OS updates

StopUpdates10 is a free utility that was developed by Greatis Software for PC. It is a Windows update tool that helps users manage their operating system updates. With it, they are given more options and control over how OS updates behave and are handled on their computers.

Programs like the Windows 10 Update Assistant lets you easily update your system with all the latest features and improvements. Updates can sometimes arrive at inconvenient times, though. Thus, StopUpdates10 provides an easy way to stop them and prevent them from interfering with your productivity or the things that you are doing.

How does StopUpdates10 work?

Windows 10 introduced a new feature that essentially removes the hassle of manually checking for updates to your OS by automatically downloading and installing them as they become available. This function can have a negative effect as it often consumes a lot of internet bandwidth, slows down your system, and sometimes forces you to restart your PC at inconvenient times.

This predicament gave rise to programs, such as StopUpdates10, which help stop OS updates. It is meant to be a temporary measure so you can focus on what you are doing first and get back to updating your system at a more convenient time. Using it is simple and straightforward by simply clicking on the "Stop Windows Updates" button.

If you want to unblock and resume Windows updates gain, you can refer to the same button—only it will display a "Restore Windows Updates" text. The simplicity and convenience this tool provides are apparent. However, the same effect can be achieved natively on Windows without the need for third-party apps by making some changes to your system registry.

Take back control over your OS updates

Overall, StopUpdates10 is meant for a single purpose and it does it very well: take back control over how your OS updates behave and are handled by Windows. While the same effect can be achieved natively, this utility tool is worth checking out if you prefer a simpler and hassle-free solution
