Disabling windows 10 updates permanently

[ancientmariner]

As above, I want to stop windows updates forever without windows over riding it and pursuing updates in future..I also want to ensure no notifications for updates appear. Can someone point me in the right direction as it seems previous working options for this are no longer 100 percent reliable.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies chaps, this was a work related question. One of our clients required no updates or update notifications for the 2 systems we built for him today.

I was under a bit of pressure to sort it quickly as there was only an hour between building the systems, imaging the os and the customer picking it up. I was aware there were a few methods to accomplish it but few of them seemed to sort it permanently. I ended up setting it up via gpedit.msc as I didn't have the time to make the necessary registry changes. It should hopefully do the trick.
