Download Windows Update Blocker 1.8 – Disable Windows Update with One Click

Windows Update Blocker 1.8 is a free and portable tool that lets you quickly enable or disable Windows Update on Windows 10 and 11 with a single click. While keeping Windows updated is generally recommended for security, there are situations where users need to temporarily or permanently pause updates — such as when an update breaks a critical driver, during bandwidth-sensitive periods, or when maintaining a stable production system.

The tool works by stopping and disabling the Windows Update service and related components, effectively preventing Windows from downloading or installing updates until you re-enable them. Unlike the built-in Windows pause feature which is limited in duration, Windows Update Blocker can keep updates disabled indefinitely until you choose to restore them.

Windows Update Blocker is completely portable and requires no installation. Its simple interface with two buttons — Enable and Disable — makes it accessible to all users, while also offering a protect service option to prevent Windows from re-enabling updates automatically.
