My internet is trash so I use a program to regulate what can use internet and at what speeds. Turns out windows updates don’t happen when they can’t access the internet, big success.
It can’t, that’s the point. Blocking data access for programs that like to aggressively and automatically download/upload shit was my entire goal and it required a fairly low amount of effort.
OK that’s not as useful as what I use then, because I typically just limit the speed, and blocking is only there for stuff that I don’t want to even try.
Interesting thta you can use Windows firewall to stop windows updates though

How… could an update happen if it can’t get the update? O.o

Can’t windows natively do that anyway?
I’ve not seen a way windows can regulate and block individual processes, although I got the program from Windows 10 and never bothered looking in 11.
Windows Firewall is what you are looking for. In Windows firewall you add rules per process and can block them from accessing all networks.
