MS-DEFCON 2: Make Sure Automatic Update Is Turned Off

 

We’ll see a bunch of Office patches on Tues, Dec. 6, so now would be a good time to make sure you have Windows Automatic Update turned off.

 

If you’ve been following my instructions, it’s already turned off, but if you’re not sure, see the “Automatic Updates” tab at the top of this page.

 

Yes, that applies to Windows 10 as well. You Win10 Home users would be well advised to switch over to a Wi-Fi connection and set it to metered.

 

If you’re using Office Click-to-Run (from Office 365), you should switch its automatic updating off, too. Microsoft describes how in KB 2753538.
