Windows Update service keeps starting on Windows 11 when disabled
In this post, I describe how to stop the Windows Update service from automatically starting on Windows 11 even when the startup type has been set to Disabled:
On a test PC, you may not want to run the Windows Update service which can consume CPU resource and decrease the performance of the PC. Usually, disabling the Windows Update service stops it from running. However, sometimes the service reenables itself and starts running.
Resolution
The service is reenabled and started by a Scheduled Task. To stop this:
1. Open Task Scheduler
2. Navigate to Microsoft > Windows > WindowsUpdate
3. Right click and Disable Scheduled Start
