# set the Windows Update service to "disabled"
sc.exe config wuauserv start=disabled
# display the status of the service
sc.exe query wuauserv
# stop the service, in case it is running
sc.exe stop wuauserv
# display the status again, because we're paranoid
sc.exe query wuauserv
# double check it's REALLY disabled - Start value should be 0x4
