> constant force update/reboot from Win10 Really? How often? I have "active hours" set and I rarely get more than one reboot per month. Same with network connections, and what they're doing. Some recorded facts would be more interesting than your impressions...

I have the same experience, it seems everytime I open my win10 laptop the damn thing does updates for many minutes. my windows desktop is more well behaved though. it seems it needs to be actively used so it always stays updated. not an apple fan by a longshot but my office macbook is always ready to be used whenever I open it, even if I do it after weeks. MS really needs to get their shit together especially on the laptops.

  If you have an unusual usage pattern -- eg you only turn your laptop on twice a month or so -- I guess you're going to get a backlog of updates. If you check the update settings, you can set "active hours" when it won't update, or a custom update time when your machine will be on. Our laptops are not having problems but they are in regular use...

Run "netstat -nob" in a admin prompt and you will see what I mean. I block all those apps now with Windows firewall except firefox, chrome and Windows defender. Also you can check out the default windows firewall config and see how many out going connections are allowed AND CONNECTED by default. I always configure my system network security by default disable ALL and only selected app/ports are allow connect to internet. Win10 firewall is completely opposite - its default configure for outgoing are "Allow ALL".
