Windows Update Settings
O&O ShutUp10 provides control over Windows Update behavior. These settings are available in both the Free and Premium Editions.
Overview​
Windows Update is essential for security and stability, but it also includes features that may affect your privacy, such as peer-to-peer update sharing and automatic driver downloads.
What You Can Control​
Update Delivery Optimization​
Windows can share downloaded updates with other PCs on your local network or over the internet (peer-to-peer delivery). O&O ShutUp10 lets you disable this feature or limit it to your local network only.
Automatic Driver Updates​
Windows Update may automatically download and install drivers from Microsoft. You can control whether this happens or manage driver updates manually.
Automatic App Updates​
The Microsoft Store automatically updates apps in the background. You can control this behavior through O&O ShutUp10.
Automatic Windows Updates​
Control how Windows handles update downloads and installation schedules.
Disabling Windows Update features may leave your system without critical security patches. Only adjust these settings if you have an alternative update strategy in place.
