It's actually pretty easy to permanently disable updates in Windows.

  • Go to Services.msc
  • Find Windows Update Services
  • Changed it to Disabled

Done.

This only works for a while on Windows 10 as the service will eventually become enabled. Depending on release we saw some PC's last a month while others could last a year with the service disabled.

For anybody wondering why, these stations had deep freeze which reverted any changes upon reboot.

that makes sense for a deep freeze scenario
