# Windows Update

The Windows operating system has a highly intrusive update system, which can affect the broadcasting of our players. To avoid this, we recommend that you disable automatic updates and schedule updates manually.

> **Note:**\
> Some Windows updates contain security features, so these manual updates are required. It is recommended that you make a controlled action plan so that the process does not affect the circuit’s broadcast schedule.

To configure this, complete the following steps: 

1. If an update is pending, upgrade Windows and restart the computer. 
2. Disable automatic updates. To do this, follow the steps described below:<br>
   1. Run the following command: services.msc.

You can also use the tool [Stop Updates 10](https://greatis.com/stopupdates10/download.htm), which makes it easy to perform the process. There are two options for this:

* Stop Windows Updates: To disable the update system.
* Restore Windows Updates: To enable the update system.

> Note:\
> Don’t forget to press the “Restore Windows Updates” option to perform your manual updates.

## **Additional configuration with Windows 10**

1. From **Task/Process Manager, disable** updates.
