StopUpdates10 is a free utility for Windows 10 that modifies system settings to block installation of Windows updates on the target device.
Blocking updates is not the best idea, because in this case you are blocking the installation of critical updates and security patches.
However, sometimes you still need to block the installation of updates as a temporary measure. The Microsoft cumulative update system does not allow you to block individual updates that can create problems and conflicts in the system.
The only option available to users and administrators is to block all updates until all known issues are resolved.
