The "bad update" as a common thing was always a figment of the imagination, and even when they occurred, and they did on rare occasion, the patch fixes were usually very prompt. This was before the age of Windows as a Service, where updates are not pushed out to all the world in one fell swoop, but initially in small sized cohorts, telemetry monitored, with each successive cohort getting larger until Microsoft is confident that it can go out to "the rest of the world." Most bad updates get stopped in their tracks quite early these days, and fixed before they ever make it to the majority of machines. So I cannot share your confidence that most who want to block updates have good reasons. My experience and observation suggests precisely the opposite, where an end user believes they know better than the very entity that invented and maintains the operating system they use. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

It will be very interesting to see your thoughts on the subject do a very quick 180 after you've had to deal with an update that does major harm to your system that you can't stop from being installed except to disable the update service.

I don't have a step by step guide for you, but I can tell you that the place where you can set that up is in power management, there is a link called some like "addition al power options" that allows you to tell Windows what to do if you do things like close the lid on your laptop.

It needs to be said that in the age of Windows as a Service (Windows 10 and 11) that blocking updates is very ill-advised, for any reason. It wasn't a great idea in the past, either. A word to the wise is sufficient.
