Disabling the service works perfect for XP, Vista, and 7. I ran 7 until August 2016 and not once did I get a single forced upgrade attempt to 10 and never any forced updates. It wasn't until 8.1 and 10 that Microsoft got savvy of the disabled update service and integrated ways to circumvent that where you'll notice the disabled update service is now set back to automatic. Even still there are easy ways around that on 10 too.
