Oh man that Windows 10 forced upgrade was rage inducing. I run a recording studio and had $10K+ worth of Firewire high end recording gear, and none of it had Win10 drivers. And one day it just upgraded it and I came in the next day with a session booked in and the whole thing was on fire. I think the resulting support call to microsoft was the only time I've actually angrily shouted at someone over the phone. That studio now runs on a mac (And the gear is now upgraded to thunderbolt stuff, which aint cheap)
Much simpler solution, go to the BIOS and turn off TPM and Secure boot. Suddenly, in the Microsoft eyes, the PC becomes e-waste unable running Windows 11.
Or, use Never 10, it'll insert the reg keys for you.
In fact if you don't want to upgrade at all take out your TPM 2.0 chip and you should be fine it won't make you upgrade because Microsoft is FORCING people to have at least an 8gh gen Intel CPU and a TPM 2.0 so if you're like me stuck on a 6th gen Intel and no TPM you should be perfectly fine jokes on Microsoft.
Indeed. TPM and Secure Boot was never about making your computer more secure. It was created to make your computer more trustable by Microsoft. And also more controllable by them.
@@TechnoMinded-qp5in Most people don't have a TPM chip to remove, it's part of the CPU. And... I guess if you remove your CPU, you won't get Windows 11. But you won't be able to use the computer at all.
This is exactly what I do to prevent windows to annoy me to upgrade to window 11. So simple and I do this to with my parents PC.
It's looking like I'll stay on Windows 10 until the day comes when I'm not on Windows altogether anymore. That's why I've been knee deep in Linux content lately. There's definitely a learning curve, but nobody was born knowing how to use Windows either.
I've been looking at Linux too. It's a lot to absorb but probably worth it.
Linux Mint for using without much problems. And then when you want to learn you do Arch. Or you're just happy with Mint because it does what you want. I just got winamp running on linux the other day using bottles and I was so happy :)
Linux can be like a drug. Ubuntu is a gateway drug that leads to Arch and Gentoo.
I agree. In fact, I have Windows 10 dualbooted it with Linux Mint on my main pc which is a Dell Optiplex 9010 even though I originally wanted to install Windows 7 before dualbooting Mint because of how Windows 7 is lighter weight and uses less resources. However, the problem was that I for whatever reason had a hard time installing drivers for that pc despite the fact that I was actually using Windows 7 64 bit drivers from the official website for the Optiplex 9010 which is built for Windows 7 and shouldn't have any of the driver issues that I have experienced.
@@fexploder3281 My friend, now that you're telling me this, I'm reminded of some of the stuff I've been reading in regards to dual booting Windows and Linux, and I think it might be of some help to you. I don't know how much you've got in the way of space in your Optiplex, I don't suppose it's a whole lot if it looks anything like the Optiplexes I've worked with in the past, but you should still make an effort to add another drive, if you haven't already, and keep Linux and Windows in separate drives. Sometimes, with updates and everything, these guys don't play too nice together and they'll eat up the other one's partition just for kicks. Nasty way to end up losing your data. But you should be fine if you've got them in different drives already though!
Thanks for the ideas you give. Greetings from Cuba🇨🇺👍
6:08 Old man forgets to add the keys to the description...
Win10 22H2.reg:

He probably didn't forget. Probably on purpose so you watch the video even though he said to copy in the desc. Cheers.
I have pointed this out on previous videos as well.
A bit rude
Thank you.
Why you gotta be a dick saying Old Man. Completely exposes you as a negative douche-person. You'll get what you deserve Everyone does.
Thank you! Just had Microsoft try to force my old laptop to Windows 11 on an update. You're a lifesaver!
I will never have this problem because Microsoft itself refuses to install Windows 11 on my computer. Their decision that my computer is not suitable! It's not me that I can't give them money, they themselves decided that they don't want to have me as a user of their OS sublicensed use anymore!
Windows 10 users might want to look at this: ua-cam.com/video/P7hcuukdq6g/v-deo.html
I can almost bet someone figured out a registry edit to make windows think the computer isn't ready. 😂
@@GoonyMclinux I just disabled that stupid TPM (in the BIOS), for me that was the easy solution.
@@SirWolf2018 Makes sense, I don't use the windows stuff much so I dunno.
@@SirWolf2018 I disabled tpm, not through bios because I had no option for that. I just renamed the tpm.sys files and Msoft says my computer is no longer eligible to upgrade to Win 11.
My personal computer auto updated itself to Windows 11 three times. One time I was away for about 10 days, and it had happened while I was away. Each time I was able to roll back to Windows 10. The only way I've been able to stop it completely was to disable the AMD TPM in the bios. I did the same thing for my wife's computer after it auto updated itself once too.
see thats how tpm works, it gives the software vendor secure access to your system and allows them to install whatever they want onto your personal computer. forget about tpm, forget about win11, forget about microsoft totally. linux is our only chance
@@xmaxkp181 You dont game or do any productivity do ya ?
Took a decade to learn specific software to a decent level, cant just abandon it.
@@mazz85- what the f do you mean by that? that you wanna rely on windows just because you’re afraid of switching habits?
if you NEED to use windows, please customize your installation iso with tools like "NTLite". that way you’ll have a lightweight windows install. disable tpm anyways ffs, this feature never helped anyone!
thk you you are a life saver
Easily nine PC’s in my house. I’ve converted ALL but one (it’s on W10), to non-Windows OS’s. There will be no W11 in my household…
Yup, planning for a hold out by building a pile of computers with Win10, and some into Win7, they just gonna bug with the activation thingy...
Bankin stuff with my android phone.
Very helpful❤❤❤...Thank you😊
❤❤❤😂🎉Whee! The answer to one of my life's biggest current questions!
Thank You!😊😊😊
Thanks Rich! Great advice! 🙂😎🤓
Microsoft should have delayed the end of support of Windows 10 by 3 or 5 years, like the delay of Windows XP by 4 years.
They already did it tacitly.
Nice one!
Thank you for this video! I have been mentioning this registry entry in comments to people, but they had no clue. I've had it set in my registry for over a year now, and had forgotten that Microsoft was pushing "upgrading" so hard...I have not been bothered since. I did upgrade to 11 once, hated it, and when I pressed the link to revert back to Windows 10, it bricked my system. I had to reinstall 10 from scratch. What fun.
That's exactly what happened to me. Unfortunately, I only do manual backups. Typically, once a week is enough. Just so happens I had a job going that kept me away from the computer for several weeks and then just forgot for a couple more. I keep almost everything on a separate drive accept nonimportant stuff, well or so I thought. I lost some things I took off my phone that were important and just hadn't moved yet. I used to swear by Windows but no more. I will be moving to Linux asap. Just not done researching it yet.
Love having Windows pro edition having access to group policy is awesome. Make it so much easier to set these things rather than Registry edits.
Once again thank you for your informative video have taken your advice and had to add the Windows Update reg file.
Great video. I do it simpler, I turn off secure boot in UEFI, and also deactivate TPM 2.0. And that's all xD
Mr.Cyber
Back in February 2023 I was acutely manic and tried windows 11 but borked the whole thing
then i tore my whole system down and it went to hell in a handbasket.
October 2023, A Calmed down me,I bought an AMD X570 Unify along with other goodies
and did a clean install of win11 and this time it was a painless experience.
11 is not perfect but I'm completely fine with it.
Others may have a different experience.

I mean...what did you think I was doing these past few weeks? Trying to get used to Ultramarine Linux in case I want to really delve deep into KVM + GPU Passthrough.
Worked like a charm on my custom-built PC.
Didn't work at all on my Surface Pro 6.
Can we simply use the product version key to stay on win 10?
Another simple way to stop Windows 11 is to go into the BIOS and disable TPM. Then your PC isn't qualified for 11. TPM can be easily re-enabled if you later decide you want 11.
Another one of your wonderfully illuminating videos. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, my Core i7 is incompatible with Windows 11 so it doesn't nag me. It probably thinks I am just an out of date loser 😄. I will ring the neck out of good old Windows 10 for as long as I can. 😊
What if you just omit the version (22h2) line and only put in the edition (windows 10) lines? Then, theoretically, it should update to any new version as long as it's windows 10, or would it not work that well?
Thanks,
Is there also a register setting to prevent the normal updates? (Note my computer needs to run 24/7 but every now and then it needs to restart to install updates. I don't want this to happen.)
On the usual setting page I kept pressing stay on Windows 10 worked for a while. Then yesterday turned on machine and the start screen was looking different, the update now or schedule. I tried schedual, hoping to set some future point after I copied my files on to something else not cloud. But the only schedule options were next time it checks for updates or next time it's turned on. Grr coercive control much! I went round scheduled and back a few times then it Finnish showed a new prompt DECLINE UPDATE unsure of this was reversible later and with no other ways to get off this loop, I did long press on the power button to just close the system. If I am able to restart it, is that 'decline Howard's a permanent response, or is that going to be asking me that each time I turn on?
On my Windows 10 doesn't work. Also after a restart. I have Windows 10 Home 22H2. Can be the Home Edition the Problem? Or what should I do? Thank you!
When will Microsoft learn to quit pissing off their users?
Never, because .... well, I would not write here, my comment would get deleted. Let's just say they have become corrupt.
when their company goes bankrupt and dissolves...
Watch the weather reports for Hell. When they tell you Old Nick is skating to work, then you can check again.
Finally, thanks.
Thanks
I'm using Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 so, I still receive mainstream support, extended support until January 13, 2032. So, I haven't seen security issues whatsoever
Same here
Is this version available on UUP dump and more importantly can keys be purchased that work on this version? Thanks
@@johnnymac1976 I activate Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 with kms server. So, I haven't seen issue
The easiest way to not have windows 11 is simply disabling your TPM2.0 or install Windows 10 LTSC.
This is honestly probably the best way to do it, disable it in you BIOS, usually called "fTPM or TPM", and Microsoft will think your 4 year old hardware is e-waste quicker then Mac was to not make your RAM up-gradable.
I have 28 computers running on Linux, with one on windoz 11 23H2, will this registry trick work so it WON'T upgrade to 24H2? 😝
IIRC you did series of tests comparing performance between Win10 and Win11 and there was barely any difference. What are those computers that can barely run Win11 so they have to run Win10 instead?
I simply disbled TPM in the bios and that's all. My PC does not meet W11 requirements so they leave me alone until I enable it again.
i edited mt registry but somehow windows 11 is still visible
but not as it was before
I literally set it up not to upgrade to 2H23 just yesterday. Thinking about win11: do I get a proper liccense key to win11 if I upgrade? Different from my win10? Will it work if I revert back to Win10, but use it on a different PC with new install of Win11?
I just found out the hard way that in order to turn off TPM, you must disable bitlocker first, which by proxy is enabled when you sign in with your Microsoft account. It's stupid how I have to go out of my way just to finally mess with the bios. This is on the Inspiron 5620 btw. Man, laptops designed with Windows 7&8 in mind are way free and easier to do this because TPM and bit locker keys were never a requirement.
Should I install windows 11 on my laptop which as an hdd
2:00 I like this full screen popup page because it is really powerful. If you use the computer with this popup in background then most of the services and proccesses won't turn on automatically and you will have only partially turned on computer. (Even if you have antivirus installed, it won't turn on)
I see it as exciting feature... even that I hate Microsoft.
Do you even need the key specifying 22H2 if you have the key specifying Windows 10?
make sense 🤔
Do you think its sane to stay using Wind 10 after support ends? I mean for security reasons since known security holes will no longer be fixed.
I don even the option to upgrade if I want to since my PC isnt supported.
I can't update to Windows 11, but I'm still getting the full screen adverts telling me to upgrade. Microsoft have completely lost the plot. I wish Microsoft would focus on other things, like making their old software work on Windows 10 or remastering them. Microsoft used to be a great company but all they seem to care about now is getting and selling user data which is why they're trying to push everyone onto Windows 11.
Use the chris titus powershell script along with this channel and thiojoe's to de-bloat windows 10.
Oh wow, i found a soulless marionette. One of millions and millions...
I think their ultimate goal is controlling people's computers so they can decide what you must do.
And how about disabling TPM in BIOS? Is that an option? (Or to use Legacy boot if the firmware supports it)
If you have a local account on Windows 10 home (for example), will the upgrade/update try to force a Microsoft account tie-in during the upgrade process?🤔
Good video. I think you only have 10 days to go back to Windows 10 if you somehow have Windows 11 installed on your machine by accident.
For some reason one of my computers has the popup, and the other has no ads at all, could someone explain what's going on with that? I don't THINK either of them support windows 11 but I could be wrong.
Does TPM auto lock interfere with swapping ssd's drive in and out of test machines, are you disabling Secure Boot. Am I the only one looking for clarity on this whole TPM chip / bios security / Bitlocker implementation?
I was reluctant to switch to Win 11 since Win 11 was introduced. But I upgraded to Win 10 a few months ago. AND I love it! More polished and easier to use. But some features are different and annoying when my old habits do not work. Eg using wifi. Nonetheless, I recommend switching to Win 11. Try it.
hello i have an windows error that says "the windows security center service can't be started"
thiss error apeared after i instaled a game that required to disable real time protection
any video about that thing on your chanell, thank you.
I can confirm we have had about half a dozen computers self-update to Windows 11 at my company. It doesn't happen often, and I haven't found any rhyme or reason to why it happens on one laptop but not on another identical laptop. So I would say it is definitely a rare thing, at least. (I had asked the users if they got any sort of pop-up or fullscreen thing that came up, and each one said no. Half of them are pretty technical people, as well.)
Is it possible that it's something triggered by some Dell/HP/etc. software, maybe? That's just a wild guess.
Anyway, just another data-point. 🙂
so far, I like windows 11 mostly on my unsupported X58 Xeon machine but I do uninstall or disable some of the more annoying features like widgets, OneDrive, copilot and Microsoft account which I feel use to many recourses.
Will this run fraps? Thanks in advance.
Can you do something similar to stop the trial adds for Office 365?
Sir I'm some one who watched your videos of fixing uefi boot loader but still stuck at boot loop But when I try to boot up with legacy boot loader it boots up To play valorent it needs secure boot up which I can't do in legacy mode please help
I clicked that bottom message but Windows 11 keeps popping up daily for the last few weeks i keep denying it but if i leave my computer alone well on for more then a few minutes it keeps trying to auto update within 20 minutes if i don’t tell it too stop.
Hello sir how can I fix the issue of command prompt closing up immediately after I press any key to enter or start the download of windows from UUPdump . Please do help me out
Wait.. the PC is running yet you still need to go round to the customers place? Doesn’t your RMM system warn you when somethings going wrong? Then the fix is easily rolled out remote. I never have to go onsite anymore unless theirs a hardware issue..
that is not what is happening to my windows 10 pro os. I just get the "click to restart and update" and it installs Windows 11. I have rolled it back three times now and when I go into the update folder in settings, it says "update ro windows 11". No other options
I followed step-by-step. I don't have the Windows\WindowsUpdate ....options where can I find how to make that?
Great video, but the upgrade does happen without user intervention. Had a Win10 pc just running and serving files. Until it didn't. Seems it upgraded itself and broke the shares and local admin acct, along with a windows account...
yup after windows installed an update......
puter restarts, and then say that something went wrong and has to undo changes ......
then puter restarts and I get the login screen that is all black.....
can't do any thing, had to go to safe mode and to a system restore....
this happens after about every other update.....
So I did what you said and I agree.....
so I SHUT WINDOWS UPDATE OFF .....totally...
And I will not upgrade to Windows 11, nope nada
Why are windows updates so destructive..... why why why
My system runs great 64 threads, 128 gig ram 2 vid cards, 2 power supplies, it's a BEAST of a machine...
:)
Simple step: enter to BIOS, turn TPM off, save changes. Computer become unsuitable for Winblows 11. Also are some quirks to disable Update Medic Service if someone know regedit - edit some paths to DLLs in CurrentCotrolSet\services key. This area in not protected by TrustedInsteller account.
I havent seen one because I blocked updates when they could not fix that one that required the recovery partition to be resized which their instructions failed to finish. Which I am sure they never bothered to fix it.
Thank you.
sometimes even if you click "Keep Windows 10" at 2:20 and "Stay on Windows 10 for now" at 2:40 it still downloads W11. and it keeps downloading even after rollback.
I did the same thing, not updating to Windows 11, I decided when to do the installation. I had a problem with Windows 11, an error that gave me that the memory cannot be read and for nothing in the world I could fix it, I went back to Windows 10.😮😮
i have my pc set to only receive windows updates for my version of windows 10, and it never tried to recommend windows 11 to me, ever since windows 11 came out, i have had my registry and my group policy blocking windows 11, i refuse to upgrade until there is no way not to.
I've heard that this registry hack will not work in Windows 10 Home version. Is this true?
Can also disable TPM driver in device manager and Microsoft will not see the laptop as Windows 11 supported.
Mine does still after all this show the icon and ask for updateing to winsdows 11
Great. My search bar is not working. How can I fix it?
"Once and for all" until next year when you have zero choice.
I just keep TPM disabled - but note that if you update your BIOS you might find it has "magically" been enabled", so always boot into the new BIOS and check...
I literally upgraded to Windows 11 today. Is it bad?
Luckily for me just pressing stay on windows 10 has stopped the pop ups and the notifications.
For now... 😅
Half joking aside though, I hope that they stay away for you - that's good to know 🙂
That's temporary, it will continue to annoy you soon.
@@SirWolf2018 It's been almost a year since I clicked stay on windows 10 and no pop-ups, hopefully it will stay like that.
It works but I didn't say this is managed by your organization
Question came to mind:
What if you are in a situation like new computer, and new modem and new internet connection.
You need to be able to acces your modem settings via browser before you get internet acces to start using your online MS account.
An oopsie ???
According to MS my pc isn't up to running Windows 11, so they stopped bothering me 😂
Same, my PC isn't 'new' enough for Win 11.
@@Error-0x0194 They must know i'm poor lol
Definitely agree, new PC windows 11, what a total hell to make it useable and disable all the web-integrations, Ai, apps.Even more than windows10 and 11 is outright slow compared to 10. The older PC is simply faster in daily use. Had to edit local group policy multiple times, registry edits to get 11 somewhat okish running.
Older pc, i had TPM chip disabled when installing win10, this stops microsoft from offering windows11 lol. (do not disable TPM if already installed if you do not what you are doing!! It can lead to loss of all your data on the PC/non-bootable system).
I just went into the bios and disabled the TPU support, now windows tells me my computer isn't eligible for the upgrade.
still unsure about upgrading and gaming perf, so no upgrade for me
With my laptop, Win 11 worked but it ran horrible. Browsers flashing, resetting themselves, lag, took the plunge and installed Linux Mint, worth it! It has been 4 months, and it was pretty seamless compared to the last time I tried Ubuntu years ago. Otherwise I was going to downgrade it to Win 10 and do this. Elder Scrolls Oblivion worked too, where it was almost unplayable every time Windows Defender kicked on. Was playing it for hours the other day.
Never a Windows related video without Linux fanboys popping up trying to promote their shitty OS
@@allkindsofthings673 Well if Windows wasn't glitching out on my brand new PC I wouldn't of even though of using Linux if you actually read my comment. It is a netbook, that they though was a good Idea to put Win 11 on. It only has 4GB of ram.
It's not just a wrong click. With me it warned me that my system supports 11 and one day I just restarted there was not even an update notification after the restart it immediately started updating. There is a possibility to go back from 11 to 10 but it was already updated anyway so I decided to leave it. But right after installation I decided to play around and optimize it and disable a few service functions and quite a few unnecessary extras. It's currently running and in parts looks like Windows 10.
Should be pop yes or no you want windows 11.
Haven't used one computer for a while as i bought a new one. My old computer got a forced update to 11 today. Almost burnt out my computer as it too old and the hardware is not compatible. Took me half a day to get it off.
What about the Microsoft "supports" which will end in a few months for Windows 10?
I'm waiting for a chance to reinstall Windows 10. I have to many problems with Windows 11, not sure if it's because I'm running on unsupported hardware or not.
Ok, 2 programs in Windows 11 I took for granted, I miss using now.
file explorer with tabs and notepad with tabs and dark mode.
nope in my same supported hardware for windows 11 slower than windows 10
Some while ago ms hassled me daily to "upgrade". (Why fix it if it isn't broken?)
One day, I pressed on the wrong thing and away we go, here comes the next generation.
This corrupted my computer which meant that a tech guy had to fix it. It was never the same again.
That computer is now only used for playing videos via a TV !
This laptop was upgraded following CyberCPU guidelines (because of the constant ms nagging) and then downgraded back to a combination of win 10 and win 11. Unfortunately, consecutive upgrades have relocated the search window which has all kinds of crap in it again, and the windows button, bottom left, is inoperative.
Thank you, microsoft.
disable TPM 2.0 in bios, MS forced me off windows 7 when I did not want 10, they just installed it over night, so maybe I have no idea what I am talking about.
My question is, is windows 11 that bad? Why wouldn't I want to upgrade? TY.
mt laptop cant upgrade to 11 and stil they bugging me
I am a victim of this auto-upgrade!! I lost my lifetime critical data-- having nightmares!!
Rich, could you give me some tips on how to recover the highly critical data I lost due to the Windows 11 (auto) upgrade from 10?
I had my Desktop location pointing to Windows.old from a prior re-loading of Windows 10. The directory
"Windows.old\Users\Owner" had all my Desktop files.
Now this folder "Users\Owner" does not exist in my current Windows.old. Any hope at all?!
I wish I had seen this video 2 weeks ago!!
Thank you so much!!
Main issue I have, if this is an internet connected machine, that in a year+ you won't get any more updates.
I am running Windows 10 and verified 22h2, but when I try to follow your steps in REGEDIT, I do not find an entry for WindowUpdate when I get down to the Windows level of your steps, e.g.: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows
What do I do next?
As he stated, if that Key wasn't there, you have to create it.
@DyceFreak posted a registry file 3 hours ago
Just copy everything under the "Win10 22H2.reg:" into a text file, save that file with any file name you want and the " .reg " file type, then double click it.
both my wife and youngest son had their laptops update to win 11 without them doing it. she hates it. her gaming pc i built for her is on win 10 and i kept the tpm 2.0 turned off so it stays on 10.
my laptop came with windows 11 aready installed so im stuck with it but its not rly that bad once you get used to it xD
So it sticking your fingers in a blender
Does that automatic Windows 11 Upgrade also happens on unsupported hardware ?
no
Hi, I am Bradley Powell. I have cerebral palsy and autism. I am wondering if you could make another video like this but this time if there’s some kind of software or some other work around to stop Windows 11 because I have Windows 10 and my laptop is a HP laptop, running Windows10 and I don’t want Windows 11 but I completely do not feel comfortable going into my Rise and doing it myself. I may screw up something and I had to reinstall the operating system windows 10 and games and files and all that stuff yeah no I don’t want to do that, so if you have some other way to go and stop windows 11 from upgrading that would be perfect thank you.
