Question Windows 11

[kamirajput]

Dear Users,

My company is not looking to upgrade to windows 11 at this time so, I need to know if there is any way to disable the upgrade.

One of the way would be to deny the feature as soon as it comes available, however, we don't know when it comes available, and recently, a user has upgraded the allowed he prompt unknowingly and his windows was upgraded. We found out about it a bit late and now we can't revert it back.

If anyone can assist me in this regard that would be great

Thanks

Muhammad Kamran

You should fire your IT employees ASAP. No user should have any rights to upgrade the OS of their PC. All my users are limited in everything.

If you are still looking for a recommendation then look for "InControl" from GRC. It will lock your windows to whatever is the current version you are on. It will allow security updates and updates within your current version, but will not allow upgrades (unless you specifically allow it).

This post is accurate; however, I would recommend looking over the documentation for WUfB (Windows Update for Business) to fully understand what it is and does.

Configure Windows Update for Business - Windows Deployment

You can use Group Policy or your mobile device management (MDM) service to configure Windows Update for Business settings for your devices.
