It would also help if Windows 10 didn't restart the machine automatically in the least favourable time, when you just went to make yourself a tea while having a zillion of programs opened, and the process didn't end up with a blue screen (both happened to me in the last few months; ok ok they allow now to choose "inactive hours" or whatever it's called, but initially you had a choice between "restart now" or "restart in 10 minutes", really dark pattern to impose things on users).
But yeah I get a notif when the update is available and I install it whenever possible.
Regarding unwanted features, have you tried Classic Shell / Classic Start Menu? Literally first thing I install on a new Windows installation.
- Posibyte 9y agoThis is the main reason I highly considered turning off updates as well. Twice in the last year I've had to go on-call for work to fix a critical issue some point in the late evening for Windows 10 to close all my programs, progress unsaved, without warning and spend several minutes (half an hour on one of them) doing updates. At that point, Windows 10 became a liability, and that laptop still doesn't have automatic updates turned on anymore. (It still gets routine manual updates, but it's definitely not ideal.)
