Disable automatic updates for Windows 10 Home

Why download and install an app to block Win10 upgrade? Norton/Malwarebytes miss things all the time, in particular 0-day problems. It's much safer to make the registry changes:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade\State]

There's another that will get rid of the toolbar nagging, search for DisableGWX and you'll find that.

These registry edits are to disable the update push to Windows 10. It has nothing to do with the OP's original post.

Also, I don't think Windows 10 Home has the GPE, just Windows 10 Pro, and maybe Enterprise. That's the way Windows 7 is.
