If you are not ready to upgrade to Windows 11 yet, you can block release updates and manually allow only the updates you want to make sure Windows 11 doesn’t get installed on your Windows 10 PC.
We prefer to stay with Windows 10 a bit longer as most issues have been resolved. We find that Microsoft is forcing the Windows 11 upgrade the same as what happened with Windows 10.
If you have Windows 10’s Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition, use the Local Group Policy Editor method to block the update.
Group Policy Editor method
Open Run menu and type gpedit.msc
Using the directories list on the left, navigate to the following directory:
Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Windows Update for Business 
On the right pane, double-click the “Select the Target Feature Update Version” entry. 
A “Select the Target Feature Update Version” window will open. Here, activate the “Enabled” option. Then click the “Target Version for Feature Updates” field and type “21H1” (without quotes) or whatever your preferred release is. Finally, click “Apply” followed by “OK.” At the time of wring “22H2” were available. 
Close the Local Group Policy Editor and restart your PC. Windows 11 update is now blocked on your computer. On a Windows 10 Home edition, use the Registry Editor method as this edition doesn’t have the Local Group Policy Editor. The Local Group Policy Editor can be installed on Windows 10 Home using a few simple steps.
1. Open CMD as Administrator 
2. Copy & Paste this command on one line into the window and press enter. Wait for the process to complete:
FOR %F IN (“%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum”) DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:”%F”)
3. Copy & Paste this command on one line into the window and press enter. Wait for the process to complete:
FOR %F IN (“%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum”) DO (DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:”%F”)
Congratulations. Your Windows 10 Home now have the the Local Group Policy Editor
How to Block the Windows 11 Update Using Registry Editor
Open Run menu and type regedit
Navigate to the following directory:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
Note: If you don’t see the final “WindowsUpdate” directory, right-click the “Windows” directory and choose New > Key. Then type “WindowsUpdate” and press Enter to create the directory.
On the right pane, double-click the “TargetReleaseVersion” entry to open it.
If you don’t see this entry, then in the right pane, right-click anywhere blank and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Then type “TargetReleaseVersion” (without quotes) and press Enter to create the entry.
In the “Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value” box that opens, click the “Value Data” field and enter “1” (without quotes). Then select “OK.”
Once again, on the right pane, double-click the “TargetReleaseVersionInfo” entry.
If you don’t see it, then right-click anywhere blank on the right pane and choose New > String Value.
Type “TargetReleaseVersionInfo” (without quotes) and press Enter to make the entry.
Here we’re going to enter the release update that we want to remain on. At the time of writing, the latest Windows 10 release is the 21H1 update. To determine the current version, review the official Microsoft documentation on the latest version of Windows 10.
On the “Edit String” box, click the “Value Data” field and type “21H1” (without quotes), or whatever your preferred release is. Then click “OK.”
Close the Registry Editor and restart your Windows 10 PC. You’re all set.
We have successfully used these methods.
We have a premade registry for Windows 10 Home. Simply copy & paste the text into notepad and safe the file with a .reg extension. And then run it to have the values added to the registry.
