Well, if it won’t re-download, that will be a very, very happy occurrence. When I did the rollback, there was a fill-in box to let MS know why I was rolling back. I don’t know how they got it (since under Creators Update the internet was dead). Maybe it went into a file to be transmitted after the rollback.

If so, mild kudos to them for at least taking the hint that it doesn’t work on your computer. We’ll see if that’s true.

Before I wasted 3 or 4 hours backing up and trying various types of installs, MS had pushed the upgrade files to me every single time I turned the PC on. It was obnoxious.

You can turn off Windows Update by doing the following:

Click Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Turn automatic updating on or off. In the Important updates menu, select Never check for updates. Deselect Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates. Deselect Allow all users to install updates on this computer and click OK.
