I wonder is there is a way to stop permanently automatic updates on Windows 2022.

7 Spice ups

Why are you trying to stop the server from receiving the updates from the MS? Updates are necessary things, Even though they can break something.

That sounds like a bad idea, but there are GPOs you can set if you really want to do that. If you’re not familiar with GPO, there’s an option in control panel to turn them off too.

Bad idea - should patch on a regular basis

The easiest option is probably using SConfig.

  • Open a CMD prompt as an Administrator, type SCONFIG and press ENTER
  • Type 5 and press ENTER
  • Type M for Manual and press ENTER

That should be it.
