How to Disable Windows Updates in Windows 10 Enterprise on a Citrix VDI


Recommended Posts

How do I disable Widows updates on Windows 10 - 1809 and or 1903 on a Citrix VDI environment. I have a client ever since they setup their Citrix VDI environment Windows updates kicks off randomly on all the VDI desktop at the same time taking down their Internet bandwidth because all 80 to 90 desktop are attempting to update from Microsoft. The VDI are non persistent so they don't need to be updated since after every reboot or log off they receive a brand new image.

 

The frustrating part with the whole Windows Updates debacle is that Microsoft choose to re-enable the Windows updates and Medic server even if they had it disabled manually or via Group Policy.

 

I would like to know how do I resolve this issue.

 

They are also attempting to block the Windows update sites via Firewall access rules for the specific VDI VLAN network. I would like a list of the Windows Websites as well.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Note: This issue began after Microsoft introduced the Windows Medic service and that is how it is able to make sure all computers receives Windows updates.
