This is my registry changes that has worked every time. Even when the install is set to kick off with the next reboot.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade] "ReservationsAllowed"=dword:00000000 "KickoffDownload"=dword:00000000 "KickoffSource"=dword:00000000 "AllowOSUpgrade"=dword:00000000 "Refresh"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade\State] "OSUpgradeState"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "DisableOSUpgrade"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Gwx] "DisableGwx"=dword:00000001



interesting, I knew about the last two, but not the OSUpgrade ones, did you find those are needed as well?


I copied the first part from a domain joined PC before a later update caused them to receive the upgrade prompt as well. It's kind of belt and suspenders so it doesn't harm but may not actually be needed.


On Linux we just close the update window.
