How do I change Windows 10 1803 automatic update to manual update? I tried adding AUOptions Value 2 and NoAutoUpdate DWORD 32 keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate, but Windows 10 still automatic check for update by itself. I disabled automatic update in Microsoft Store and Microsoft Office 365, but Windows still automatic check for update. Funny thing is I never get any notification at all even thought I added AUOptions Value 2 DWORD 32 into the registry.

I use this, it stops auto-checking for updates, but manual check works, if not, you can always reset it:
Code:
takeown /f "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /a
icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /inheritance:r /grant:r Administrators:F /c
icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /remove "Administrators"
Code:
icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\UsoClient.exe" /reset
