You do know you can schedule your updates to suit your needs.

Go to setting, updates and change your schedule, simple as pie.

Of course, it’s one of the first things I do on any Windows machine.

The point is that with Win 10 that will no longer be possible. (unless you’re an Enterprise customer)

I have been sitting in front of a computer (running on some version of Microsoft Windows) eight hours a day for roughly two decades, now, and didn't know you could do that. (How should I have known? Not once in my career have I needed to do that.) And, like a fool, I instead kept clicking on the "X" in the upper right-hand corner of the pop-up, over and over again, last week when the update command came - until I finally relented, and clicked "OK" - five minutes before an online meeting. Needless to say, for the next two hours, my computer was useless. And, because of the "new, improved" look and feel, I am still having to relearn and refamiliarize myself with everything.

Thanks, Microsoft!

Regards,
