    You realise you can very easily disable updates and just do them manually when you feel like it?

    Or you can shut down the computer when you go to sleep, booting takes less than 30 seconds with a modern computer…

      You really can’t disable them on the latest versions of Windows. I disabled the automatic updates even in the registry. Last week it forced an update in the middle of the night to the newest version of 10 that has the God awful 11 taskbar.

      You don’t update Windows “when you feel like it”, it does when it feels like it. Several times, after delaying the updates so many times because I knew it takes dozens of minutes to apply each time and I didn’t want that to happen as I often had to restart my PC or had to let it run in the background, Windows eventually forced me to update the next time I shut down my PC.
