Roll back to windows 10...and 11 keeps installing
Hi all,
I am not a fan of windows 11, and pretty much did a roll back within a few days. However Upgrade to Windows 11 Status: Pending restart comes up every time, and I've had to do the roll back a few times because I didn't notice and it went through.
Guides like this one: https://www.howtogeek.com/765377/how-to-block-the-windows-11-update-from-installing-on-windows-10/ indicate how to block it, but it also seems to keep your windows 10 from getting other updates as well.
Can I somehow just block windows 11 related things and keep everything else working normally?

Read farther down, you set the registry to block the updates but if MS releases a major update to a new version you just set the registry to that version and it will update. So say you are on 21H1, if you do the registry edit and enter 21H2 instead, it will still update to the newer 21H2 version but not win 11.
If you update once and revert it will reinstall
Yeah, my goal is to have everything working as normal other than the windows 11 update. My concern with this approach is I will most likely never check the versions and will therefore avoid critical security updates.
The security updates will still download, it just won't do the full version updates yearly.
