Otherwise, you could end up with unusable applications for the end user(s) if updates occur. It is also important to note that you may need to turn off auto-updating within the application if it supports such a feature.

rem Disable Store auto-update:
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore /v AutoDownload /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Schtasks /Change /Tn "\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\Automatic app update" /Disable
Schtasks /Change...
