Turn off windows update service & auto updates windows 10 using powershell

Question

I want to use a powershell script to turn off windows update service & auto updates windows 10 using powershell. I've searched around but the commands didn't turn either one off completely.

I'm manually doing this now on devices that aren't on the network, so no group policy will be able to be deployed:

services> windows update> disable Windows Update > Change Settings > Never Check for Updates

I found this information you can try it

Powershell

 Clear-Host

Write-Host "0 -> Change setting in Windows Update app (default)"
Write-Host "1 -> Never check for updates (not recommended)"
Write-Host "2 -> Notify for download and notify for install"
Write-Host "3 -> Auto download and notify for install"
Write-Host "4 -> Auto download and schedule the install"

Write-Host "Enter any character to exit"
Write-Host
switch(Read-Host "Choose Window Update Settings"){
       0 {$UpdateValue = 0}
       1 {$UpdateValue = 1}
       2 {$UpdateValue = 2}
       3 {$UpdateValue = 3}
       4 {$UpdateValue = 4}
       Default{Exit}
}

$WindowsUpdatePath = "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\"
$AutoUpdatePath = "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU"

If(Test-Path -Path $WindowsUpdatePath) {
    Remove-Item -Path $WindowsUpdatePath -Recurse
}


If ($UpdateValue -gt 0) {
    New-Item -Path $WindowsUpdatePath
    New-Item -Path $AutoUpdatePath
}

If ($UpdateValue -eq 1) {
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name NoAutoUpdate -Value 1
}

If ($UpdateValue -eq 2) {
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name NoAutoUpdate -Value 0
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name AUOptions -Value 2
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name ScheduledInstallDay -Value 0
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name ScheduledInstallTime -Value 3
}

If ($UpdateValue -eq 3) {
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name NoAutoUpdate -Value 0
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name AUOptions -Value 3
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name ScheduledInstallDay -Value 0
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name ScheduledInstallTime -Value 3
}

If ($UpdateValue -eq 4) {
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name NoAutoUpdate -Value 0
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name AUOptions -Value 4
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name ScheduledInstallDay -Value 0
    Set-ItemProperty -Path $AutoUpdatePath -Name ScheduledInstallTime -Value 3
}
