How to prevent the installation of Windows 10, version 20H2 update? I know this version causes frequent unsolvable bluescreens for my gear (ASROCK P67 PRO3).

I would try to update UEFI before anything else. There's really no way to definitely prevent Windows updates.– ChanganAutoApr 23, 2021 at 16:41

Click on Pause and pause the restart. Then use the time to update drivers. See if that helps with getting the Windows updates to not conflict.– JohnApr 23, 2021 at 16:43

@ChanganAuto I've read in my native language that updating UEFI doesn't solve this problem with BSODs. source– karlososApr 23, 2021 at 16:43

@John thanks! I haven't thought about pausing updates. I have additional 7 days for researching the problem.– karlososApr 23, 2021 at 16:44

@karlosos - You are aware that eventually you will have to install a future feature update. If you are running 2004 it absolutely should not be causing BSOD since 20H2 can be enabled through an enablement package. Additionally, 21H1 will also be an enablement package when its released. Preventing 20H2 is a temporary solution that won’t be a permanent– RamhoundApr 23, 2021 at 18:43
