Does anyone do serious work on Windows 10? How do you guys deal with the forced updates (that use up all CPU and disk I/O resources), forced reboots, etc?
It seems whenever I turn on my Windows 10 machine, there's a service using all the resources.
- JoBrad 9y agoI do all of my work on Windows 10 Insider Edition. I have an update about once every other week or so, and have to reboot. In between those times, I only put my laptop to sleep by shutting the lid, and wake it up by opening the lid. Despite using a "beta" version (Insider Edition), I can count on one hand the number of unplanned shutdowns I've had that weren't due to an update. Maybe I'm just lucky, but my experience with Windows 7 (which never figured out how to sleep and wake up properly, on the same laptop) makes me think not. I've had the same experience on 2 other models of laptops and 2 other models of desktops.

- rjsw 9y agoI just set all the network connections to "metered" and turn off the Windows Update service.
- kyriakos 9y agoIf you use Windows 10 daily there's hardly any extra resource usage. It usually happens with systems that people turn on once in a while.
