My Laptop is very slow

Illumiman

My laptop has been very slow since that time i purchased it. The reason why is because of windows 10 automatically updating. And also after it updates nothing will change. Sometimes it`ll download and install the update again. So then i tried to find out how to stop the update. I found a service that says "windows update", i went to its properties and then disable the service. I restart my computer, check the service, and the windows update was running again. Now i found a video on YouTube on how to completely disable it. The steps were easy to follow that i, a beginner in owning a PC, can do it. But then i cannot proceed because theres this thing that i need to click in the management console that was not there. The "Group Policy Object" was missing. Since thats so, what other ways can i disable the windows update?

One of Windows 10’s least-liked features is its tendency to automatically update everytime you try to shut down your computer or laptop. 

1)Microsoft’s Show or Hide Updates tool can be a first line option. This small wizard lets you choose to hide the Feature Update in Windows Update. After downloading, launch it, click Next, wait while it detects pending Windows Updates.Click the Hide Updates menu.

Scroll through the list then select the Feature Update. In my case, I am hiding Windows 10 Creators Update, version 1703. Check the box next to the update then click Next to confirm changes. When future versions are released in the fall and spring, you will see either 1709 or 1803

2)You can do this by disabling the Windows Update Service. Via Control Panel > Administrative Tools, you can access Windows Services Manager. In the Services window, scroll down to Windows Update and turn off the Service. To turn it off, right-click on the process, click on Properties and select Disabled. That will take care of Windows Updates not being installed on your machine.

3)The next option is not practical, but can temporarily block a feature update too. You can set your network up as a metered connection, which prevents large updates from downloading. Open Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi, click your network connection, then toggle on Metered Connection. You can also do this for wired connections in Windows 10 version 1703 or later.

The Group Policy editor is for users running premium business editions such as Windows 10 Pro, Pro Edu, Enterprise, Education and Pro for Workstation have additional options.
