How'd you do that? I've made registry tweaks, group policy tweaks, etc and my windows machine still eventually hits a limit where it forces updates around the 12 week mark. Granted it's still longer than before, it isn't completely disabled.
It was a combination of things between policies and taking over folder and file permissions. I can look up the specifics I used if you are looking to replicate it. It's a bitch to undo unless you write down everything you change.
At that point it's easier to install Linux.
I run Linux too, but I have to use windows for some contract jobs.
Not all computers need to tell the date & time, just uninstall clock.exe
