Windows also tells you it will perform an update on restart. It says "Update and restart" rather than just restart.

  But it doesn't have a "restart and defer update" option. If you need to restart for some other reason, you're forced to take the update.

    In cmd or PowerShell: shutdown /r /t 0 AFAIK, this has always avoided updates.

    Holding shift while opening the power menu and clicking Restart used to do this, but admittedly, I haven't tried it in a while.

    I don't know about Win 10 but I get around that on Win 7 by doing "shutdown /r /t 0" for reboot and "shutdown /s /t 0" for a shutdown.

      This is why I like Linux - you don't need to learn the commandline just for basic OS functionality. Windows really needs to get a decent GUI already. ^_^
