If its a problem you can disable updates. The alternative is no updates by default, and we saw what a mess that was back in the win 95/2000 era.

- archagon 4y agoCan you? On my machine, you can only pause them for some time.
- nikau 4y agoYou need windows pro, but you basically set a bunch of registry keys/GPO to disable updates.
- LinuxBender 4y agoYes, Shutup10 [1a][1b] and misc other powershell scripts people have written can disable some things with varying degrees of success.

- danparsonson 4y agoOnly with Enterprise or LTSB/LTSC but even that is changing as far as I know, and most people don't have access to those distributions anyway. Besides I don't want to turn off updates - that's a false dichotomy. I want to be allowed to set my own update schedule like someone who knows what they're doing with their own PC.
- nikau 4y agoIt works for windows 10 pro also - my laptop has been sitting pending a restart for about a week and a half now, and my shutdown menu has options to restart/shutdown without updating.
