    Computers mostly don’t force software updates on you, unless you tell them to. (Caveat: IT routinely forces updates on people.) Find the setting where you specifically asked the machine to keep itself updated, and turn it off. If you can’t find it, throw the machine away and get a better one where you can be in control:-P. This concludes my sermon for today, I hope you all have some Happy Holidays!:-P

          They do, you can opt-out if you want, but you don’t, unless you like malware. Windows is just an unsafe proprietary mess of a system. :-P

              Never said it was user friendly, just pointed out it’s an option that exists. And it’s a good thing that this isn’t user friendly tbh, you dont want to run Windows without updates, if you care that much, just use Linux.

                Atleayt they should make the setting to enter a slower updating channel user friendly. That’s how I used before, with slower updated channel and deffering feature updates for a year and making security updates install on saturday’s when I don’t have to use my pc for productive tasks.
