Windows uses
Updates Guard.
Updates Guard is a system service working in the background.
It polls an activity of the Windows update service.
If Updates Guard detects the change in the Windows Update service (Wuauserv"), 
it will disable it.
Updates Guard is started automatically.
It takes a small number of system resources.

Why Updates Guard?
Unfortunately, Microsoft uses an aggressive way to install every new build.
The old tricks do not work.
Updates Guard will always help to stop updates.

Question: 
I don't want to have an additional service on my system.
Answer:  
Open StopUpdates10, File, Settings menu. 
Choose "Only for Power Users."
Uncheck the box "Updates Guard is Active."
Click OK.

Question: 
How to change the polling interval?
Answer:  
Create a text file with the name "SU10Guard.ini".
Put this into the file:
[Settings]
CheckProcessSeconds=10

Question: 
How to remove the Updates Guard manually?
Answer:  
Launch "uninstall-guard.bat."
