Disable Windows 10 Updates

Disable notification

disable Updates are available

To disable the "Updates are available" popup in Windows 10, do the following.

    Open an elevated command prompt.
    Ensure that the console is opened in the folder C:\Windows\System32. If not, then type the following command to change the directory:

    cd /d "%Windir%\System32"

    Type or copy-paste the following command:

    takeown /f musnotification.exe

    This command will take NTFS ownership of the executable file that produces the popup.
    The next command will prevent the operating system from accessing the file.

    icacls musnotification.exe /deny Everyone:(X)

    Now, repeat the same for the MusNotificationUx file.

    takeown /f musnotificationux.exe
    icacls musnotificationux.exe /deny Everyone:(X)

This should be enough to stop Windows 10 from showing these annoying notifications.

To undo the changes you made, run the following commands one by one.

cd /d "%Windir%\System32"
icacls musnotification.exe /remove:d Everyone
icacls musnotification.exe /grant Everyone:F
icacls musnotification.exe /setowner "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller"
icacls musnotification.exe /remove:g Everyone
icacls musnotificationux.exe /remove:d Everyone
icacls musnotificationux.exe /grant Everyone:F
icacls musnotificationux.exe /setowner "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller"
icacls musnotificationux.exe /remove:g Everyone
