Microsoft updates?

[plissken]

Windows 10 and greatly reduced the end user flexibility in managing how updates are applied to the system.

 

I disabled the wuauserv service:

 

From an elevated powershell prompt (Click on start, type in powershell, right click and run as admin):

 

set-service wuauserv -startuptype "disabled"

 

It's hammer type approach that will require you to periodically enable and start the service to check for updates.

 

I have a 2.0 computer and HTPC that don't do much so that is my approach with them.
