In the event you are not prepared to upgrade to this new Windows version yet, we have provided detailed instructions below on how you can cancel Window. Let’s get started!
Temporarily Pause the Update via Windows Settings
In case you only want to pause the Windows 11 update for a short time, the easiest method to do so is via Windows Settings. This method will allow you to put the update on hold for 7 days or more. Here is what you need to do:
Turn Off Windows Update Service
Another easy way to cancel Windows 11 update is by turning off the Windows Update Service. However, it is essential to keep in mind that this will stop any and all Windows updates (including security and cumulative update patches) from installing on your PC. You will have to turn the service back on manually when you are ready to install the updates in the future. Doing so will cancel Windows 11 update. If you want to resume the update service in the future, simply follow the steps mentioned above again and choose Automatic as the Startup type. Then click on the Start button and hit OK.
Modify Windows Registry
In case you only want to cancel Windows 11 update, you can modify the Registry Editor in Windows. However, we recommend creating a Registry backup before you proceed, just to be safe.
Modify Group Policy Editor
If you find using the Registry Editor hard, then try canceling the Windows 11 update using the Group Policy Editor. In the Group Policy Editor, administrative-level information about the Windows programs and processes is stored in the form of policies, and by modifying the relevant policies, we can customize the operating system processes. In this method, we will be modifying a Windows update policy to make the desired changes. Here is all that you need to do:
