Look into Windows 10 LTSB (Long Term Service Branch). It's rock solid, doesn't auto-update (only critical security patches), as part of the installation process you can switch off everything, doesn't have Edge or Cortana or any other guff. It was made for ATM's and single purpose machines. I use one for my Plex Media Server and XProtect / Sighthound Server etc.. all rock solid. The "apparent" disadvantages listed against LTSB I actually believe are advantages. Like, want new Windows 10 features? Sorry you'll have to reinstall the latest full release of Windows 10.1 LTSB. http://www.howtogeek.com/273824/windows-10-without-the-cruft-windows-10-ltsb-explained/ http://www.howtogeek.com/273824/windows-10-without-the-cruft...
