How to turn off Win8.1 update notifications

Since the user does not want to update to Windows 8.1 for the time being, naturally do not want to receive the update notice, then there is no way to no longer show update notice? The answer is: yes.

There are two ways to turn off this update notification, one is to change the Group Policy setting, and one is to modify the registry. In contrast, the former is simpler and safer.

Group Policy method:

1, press "Win + R" Open the Run dialog box, enter "Gpedit.msc" return to open the Group Policy Editor;

2, expand the "Computer Configuration"--"Administrative Templates"--"Windows Components", to find the "application Store" (in the comparison position);
