If
I start listing down the complaints regarding the forced Windows 10
upgrades and updates by Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows 8 users, I’ll
continuously be typing all day long.But, there are some interesting
encounters and incidents which I will diligently love to share.
These
mentions include the live TV weather forecast interruption by Windows
10, ruined live stream of a pro-gamer, and an abusive rant of a Windows
user.
While some users try to block these forced update popups on their PCs
using some software, whereby other experienced users does not even need any third-party software to do this simple appliance.
In this article, I’m going to share two methods to block forced
Windows 10 upgrade on your Windows 7 and 8 PCs. This has been made
possible with a new update that was released last year.
Blocking Windows 10 upgrade on Windows 7 PC:
So, before going ahead, download these system updates manually for your PC:
32-bit and
64-bit. After restarting or rebooting your PC, follow any one of the following methods:
Method 1: Use Group Policy Editor to stop Windows 10 upgrade
- You simply need to type gpedit.msc in RUN to open the Group Policy Editor on your Windows 7 PC.
- Now, follow this path to find the right options to make changes: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update
- In the left sidebar, look for “Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update“. Click on it and make it Enabled.
- The required changes have been made and you just need to restart the computer for the changes to take place.
Method 2: Use Registry Editor to block Windows 10 upgrade
- To open Registry Editor in Windows 7, you simply need to type regedit in RUN and press enter.
- Now, go to this path and find Windows folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
- Now select the Windows folder, create a new entry called “WindowsUpdate” by right-clicking.
- Now create a new DWORD entry called DisableOSUpgrade in the right sidebar and set its value to 1.
