For what it's worth, it's (still, as of writing) possible to turn off forced autoupdates via Group Policy if you buy and use Windows 10/11 Professional.
Any power user would be well served to reuse one of their old 7/8 Pro licenses or buy a 10/11 Pro license instead of cheaping out on a Home license.
- Qwertious 4y agoThe real problem with "it's still possible to turn off forced autoupdates" is that you don't know whether you can turn it off, due to Windows ignoring explicit "turn X off" switches. Why should the user trust you to respect any other switch? Also, the user should be able to assume that there aren't multiple switches for the same action. As a general rule - I know this is Windows.
- Dalewyn 4y agoGroup Policy is an enterprise feature, violating Group Policy means Windows becomes persona non grata in its most profitable market sector. So yes, you can rely on Windows and Microsoft to respect Group Policy. The catch is you need to pay for enterprise privileges if you're not.
