I can’t praise Win 7 enough. Has everything I need.
I’ve had updates turned off since day 1 and have never had a problem.
MSFT can stuff Win 10.
I updated up until they dropped that stealth Win10 service pack. I had to hunt for that downloaded update and deleted it. Then I stopped updating.
Look through the downloaded update list for the KB3035583 and KB2976978 updates.
Right click each update and click Uninstall.
