I definitely have my issues with it as well, but if you have Pro you can customize quite a few update options in Group Policy Editor, and even if you're on Home you can at least set "Active hours" to when you're using your computer so that it updates outside of that. Unfortunately it's limited on an amount of hours, so still kind of forced, but I've learned to accept it.
- RossBencina 10y agoForced reboot can be completely disabled (current uptime here is 75 days). Perhaps I tried other things earlier, but this is what finally resolved it for me: https://superuser.com/questions/973009/conclusively-stop-wake-timers-from-waking-windows-10-desktop/973029#973029 https://superuser.com/questions/973009/conclusively-stop-wak...
- croon 10y agoNot that I need my computer up for more than a day or two at a time, but that does sound excellent, thanks for the link!
- dspillett 10y agoSome of those GPE tricks stopped working in the Anniversary Update. Any remaining ones may follow in future updates.
- ntauthority 10y agoDisabling the Windows Update service and only enabling it when knowingly wanting to install an update (or Store application) has worked ever since XP, and is unlikely to ever cease working.
- dspillett 10y ago> unlikely to ever cease working. I remember people saying that about the GPE methods a few months ago...
- TeMPOraL 10y agoLast time I checked, the "Active hours" setting rudely informed me that I spend too much time in front of my PC. Said hours can't span more than 8h, or something like that.
