Windows – How to disable Background intelligent transfer service (Permanently)

automatic updateserviceswindows 10windows-services

I've tried to disable Background Intelligent Transfer service using two methods:

RegEdit and services.msc

After restarting the computer, the service runs at start-up again. How can I disable it permanently? Is there anyway to delete or get rid of this service? It consumes my internet and I would not like to download any Windows updates. I have Windows 10.

Thank you very much,

In order to disable Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), you have to follow these steps:

  1. Press Win + R (or Start => Run)
  2. Type msconfig and press Enter
  3. Select Services tab
  4. Locate Background Intelligent Transfer Service
  5. Remove the tick next to it.
  6. Press Apply
  7. Reboot the system.

There might be some overall performance improvement, however, in my personal case it made large file transfer slower despite the fact that it was Core i7 3rd gen.
