  1. Does windows slow down on purpose to force you to update?


    Something i noticed is when there is the option to update and restart, processes like windows explorer, desktop window manager and wmi provider host start munching cpu all the time, like 4-30%, making games stutter etc. It's happening right now and i know it will go away after i restart because this always happens. What's going on?

    Windows 10 forced download

    ^This, then reboot and go to manually update windows. Find KB3035583 in the list of available updates, right-click and "Hide this update" so it doesn't get installed again next go around.
