1224. Prevent future FEATURES updates and notification

 Preventing future feature updates in Windows is possible using several methods, although it is generally not recommended due to the security vulnerabilities that can arise from running outdated software.

For all Windows editions, the Registry Editor (regedit) can be used, though caution is advised. After backing up the registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows, create a new key named WindowsUpdate, and inside that, create another key named AU. In the AU key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named NoAutoUpdate and set its value to 1. A restart is required. 

Another approach involves disabling the Windows Update Service through the Services app (services.msc) by changing the Startup type to Disabled and stopping the service. However, Windows may attempt to re-enable it. 

For Windows 10/11 Home users, setting your network connection as metered in Settings can help prevent automatic updates.
