As I said, You cannot turn off the updates permanently unless you are on a pro or business version of windows 10.

Believe Me, I went around and around on this subject a few years ago and nothing has changed.

Microsoft gives you a number of chances to roll back to your previous version but after that .. You Will be forced into the update.

“You cannot turn off the updates permanently unless you are on a pro or business version of windows 10.’

i do it all the time; you just have to disable ALL of the relevant tasks and services

the updater services and tasks are the same on home and pro W10 editions, but the shortcuts of the tools for managing them are missing from W10 Home Edition, though the tools themselves still exist ... i disable updates on W10 Home Edition all the time ...

search for and run services.msc and taskschd.msc either from the search box or from a cmd window ...

some are difficult to disable, but a tool called Wub.exe can be used to disable undiableable services; osrss has to be disabled that way ...
