This article will help you remove the upgrade screen and ad popups without disabling the security updates. This means that by following the methods below, you will still receive security updates, but you won’t receive any feature updates, including the Windows 11 upgrade. There are many ways to remove the Windows 11 upgrade screen and notification popups. You can use third-party applications for this purpose. However, we believe the following methods are enough to disable the Windows 11 upgrade screen without involving any third-party applications.
1. Modify the Registry Editor
By modifying the specific registry keys, you will be able to get rid of the Windows 11 upgrade screen and popups. This involves editing or creating registry entries to prevent the Windows Update utility from recommending upgrading to Windows 11.
2. Use the Command Prompt
You can also disable the Windows 11 upgrade screen and notifications by just executing simple commands in the Command Prompt. The commands will create the TargetReleaseVersion and TargetReleaseVersionInfo with the appropriate inputs.
3. Use Group Policy Editor
If you have the Windows 10 Home edition, unfortunately, you cannot follow this method as the Group Policy Editor is not included in the Home editions. You can only use the Registry Editor, as we did in the 1st method, to disable the Windows 11 upgrade screen and notifications. The Group Policy Editor allows users to manage and configure Windows operating system settings, such as configuring and disabling Windows updates. We can use the Group Policy Editor to block the Windows upgrade screen and popup ads.
