Update Freezer is a free and simple tool that helps to temporarily disable different kinds of automatic software updates on Windows. We do recommend having all critical software updates switched on. We totally support this rule. However there are situations when you need an exception to this rule, for example: Internet connection is very slow and expensive. Automatic updates may cause significant additional traffic without your permission. You want to keep system configuration intact for some period of time. Like you have prepared some presentation for tomorrow and want your PC to behave tomorrow exactly as today. You are bored of updates and want to allow them on-demand: perform updates when you need them.
