So I have a very specific use case and need to use my old backup win10 laptop for a test (only windows or mac allowed, no linux). I never connect this laptop to the internet because I need it to stay on 10 to work with specific software/hardware I have on it. But this test requires internet. How can I block the windows update servers on my VLAN? I know the second I connect this thing microslop will corrupt it to force me to update.

Hey, you might have trouble blocking windows 10 servers themselves, by IP or otherwise. I think it might be a lot more feasible to massgrave win 10 pro on your machine and disable updates by group policy.
