Microsoft er forcing Windows 11 on every Windows 10 user. The persistent notifications to uppfæra í Windows 11 are distracting and annoying—especially if you don’t want Windows 11 yet.
We’ll show two ways to stop Windows 11 update notifications on your Windows 10 PC. In Windows 11, you can also use the methods below to stop notifications for feature or quality updates.
Disable Update Notifications via Group Policy Editor
The Group Policy Editor allows you to configure system, users, and administrative settings in Windows. Follow the steps below to stop Windows 11 update notifications through the Group Policy Editor.
Athugaðu: Group Policy Editor is available in the Professional and Enterprise editions of Windows. You can’t stop Windows update notifications using this method if you have Windows Home edition. Use the Registry Editor instead (see the next section for instructions).
- opna Windows Start valmynd, gerð gpedit í leitarstikunni og veldu Breyttu hópstefnu í niðurstöðum.
Einnig er hægt að ýta á Windows lykill + R, gerð gpedit.msc in the Run box, and select OK.
- sigla til Tölvustillingar > Stjórnunarsniðmát > Windows hluti > Windows Update > Manage end user experience on the sidebar.
- Tvísmella Sýna valkosti fyrir uppfærslutilkynningar.
- Veldu Fatlaðir valkostur.
- Veldu gilda > OK and close the Local Group Policy Editor.
If you want to receive Window update notifications in the future, set the policy to “Not Configured” (see step #4).
Disable Windows Update Notifications via Windows Registry
The Windows Registry is a database of settings for your computer’s operating system. Follow the steps below to create an entry in the Registry that prevents Windows from displaying update notifications.
Athugaðu: You can break your PC if you accidentally modify or delete a registry item. Hence, we recommend backing up the Windows Registry og creating a System Restore point before you proceed. If things go south, you can easily fix the problem by restoring your computer from the registry or System Restore backup.

You cannot stop Windows updates forever, but you can delay them for a while. Refer to our tutorial on stopping Windows updates to learn how to pause updates on your PC temporarily.
