How to disable Windows Update for Long Time, But, I recommend don't do this! :)

Disabling Windows Updates is extremely dangerous because you miss out on security fixes, leaving your system vulnerable to cyberattacks. Furthermore, you won't get the latest features and performance updates, and there's a risk of stability issues, application incompatibilities, and even system crashes if an incomplete update fails or is interrupted.

Dangers of Disabling Windows Updates

• Security vulnerabilities: You won't receive critical security patches that address security vulnerabilities, leaving your computer vulnerable to malware, viruses, and other cyberthreats.
• Decreased performance and stability: Updates aren't just security fixes, they also address bugs and improve overall system performance. Without updates, your system can become slow and unstable.
• Missing the latest features: You'll miss out on new features designed to improve productivity and provide a better experience.
• Application compatibility issues: Over time, new or updated applications may become incompatible with your older version of Windows, causing them to crash or malfunction.
• Risk of system damage: Permanently disabling updates means your system won't receive fixes for issues that may arise in the future, which can lead to instability and even system crashes.

Extend Pause Windows Update Normally

However, if you have work that doesn't require Windows updates to update your system, you can extend the Windows update window to five weeks. This way, during your free time, you can update without interrupting your work or work that doesn't require your PC to restart, shut down, or stop working.

Extend Pause Window More Than Normal

But if you want a longer period, you can copy this

reg add “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings” /v FlightSettingsMaxPauseDays /t reg_dword /d 300 /f

The code above "d 300" means in 300 days, if you want more, just change the value

Generally, registry subkey or workgroup modification techniques are intended for advanced users, administrators, and IT professionals, not for the general public.

Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

How to Back up the registry manually

• Select Start , type regedit.exe in the search box, and then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• In Registry Editor, locate and click the registry key or subkey that you want to back up.
• Select File > Export.
• In the Export Registry File dialog box, select the location to which you want to save the backup copy, and then type a name for the backup file in the File name field.
• Select Save.

Restore a manual back up

• Select Start , type regedit.exe, and then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• In Registry Editor, click File > Import.
• In the Import Registry File dialog box, select the location to which you saved the backup copy, select the backup file, and then click Open.

I hope this is helpful for you, but remember... be careful in using these tips, here I am not responsible for any damage that occurs, do it at your own discretion, if you are a novice user who still needs IT technician assistance, do not follow these tips, I recommend you update your windows regularly, especially if your PC / computer requires security. Windows Update can patch existing security vulnerabilities. Do this wisely!
