Windows 10: Auto updates problems

Update, update, read all abart it!

Enable or Disable Check for Windows Updates in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Windows Update Activation Tutorials

- the Tutorial I mentioned above.

 

Well, been "on my own" since Win95 so I think I'll be o.k. , and if I need help I'll ask for it here and not from some youtuber who may or may NOT know what they're talking about.

 

You may have meant this one below instead. *Smile

Enable or Disable Windows Update Automatic Updates in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Windows Update Activation Tutorials

 

In 1703 creators this toggle doesn't work anymore. Whereas before one could check for app updates manually but still then choose whether to download / update them now doing this manual check finds the app updates and automatically downloads and installs them. I'm not sure if this is now intended behaviour by MS but it seems like a bug. An irritating one at that as I like to check what updates are available and then before installing them I check things out to see if they are being reported as bad/safe updates. Especially if it's an app our family uses a lot such as photos or mail. Given MS penchant for questionable QA I think it's worth doing.

 

Windows 95? I've been doing this since BEFORE C/PM. I was on the Win95 Beta test team, and actually got paychecks from Microsoft. Did YOU do that?

I also worked for the D.o.D as a GS for 20 years. I not only built a lot of their systems, I also administrated a lot of their SIPRNET systems. I also wrote some of their security routines, and security patches, in assy language. Did YOU do that?

I don't understand why people like you, have to act like children, and be nasty, and insulting. You sound very foolish, and arrogant. I'm just offering help to someone who may need it. I'm happy for you, that you DON'T need it. Good on 'Ya.

Stop being such an arrogant dipstick. No one cares, and you CERTAINLY have no credibility with me (not that you care), as I can tell by a lot of your posts, you know just enough to be dangerous.

I also build laptops, and back them up with a limited LIFETIME WARRANTY. Are YOU that sure of your work? I am.

Welcome to my ignore list.

Same here, your post is interesting (I tweak a lot), but offtopic and you are the one insulting others, I am not even going to quote it, I would not downgrade myself to it. I pray for people, who you build laptops for. *Rolleyes
