Automate Disabling Windows Update using Powershell

Question

I want to Automate Disabling Windows Update using Powershell.

The setting i need to do to achieve this is:

• Go to Run-> services.msc • Select windows update -> Disable it

• Check for updates -> Pause updates -> Enabled

Is there a Powershell command/way of automating these manual steps for doing these OS settings.

which version of PoSh do you need this for? you have v2 & v3 tagged ... — Lee_Dailey
