Software Deployment

I believe that script only works for Win7 and Win10 1607 or older versions...

Now a days is kind of hard to silence Windows Updates, you need to have a very good script..

Now I haven't tried since 8.0.... but I'm no sure if that policy had a rework since. - Channeler 6 years ago

Win10LTSC2019 does not "upgrade" only updates. That is it's purpose to exist - no upgrades only patches and security updates. With the regular version of windows 10 you can defer the upgrade but it will happen no matter what you do. I found if you enable the optional feature "windows developer mode" it causes the upgrade to error out and not happen. But the one way you can delay this https://www.pcmag.com/article/362284/how-to-delay-major-windows-10-updates

You can create a enforce registry script to also set this via SMA

Create and export this key set to use in the script

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

Right-click on WindowsUpdate and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name it DeferUpgrade. and give it a value of 1.

Now again right-click on WindowsUpdate and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name this key as DeferUpgradePeriod, and double-click on it. Here you set its value from 0-8. Here, the digit represents the number of months you want to delay installation of upgrades. Selecting a number 3 will defer the upgrades by 3 months.

Now for the third time, we have to repeat the process. Again right-click on WindowsUpdate and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.

Name the DWORD as DeferUpdatePeriod and double-click on it and give it a value between 0-4. Here the digits stand for the number of weeks. If you choose 4, you will be able to delay installation of updates by 4 weeks.

If you wish to simply pause all upgrades, under WindowsUpdate key, create a DWORD value, name it as PauseDeferrals and give it a value of 1. - SMal.tmcc 6 years ago
