Windows 10: automatic updating in windows 10

hello all you gurus,


question => is there a way to shut off automatic updating in windows 10 *permanently*? It seems to me that microsoft has stripped all control from it's users in this regard except for allowing them to pause updates for ''x'' number of days. Is this true?


And please, no lectures on what I'm doing and that I *should* let microsoft update my windows OS automatically because it's the safest thing to do. I've been writing software for 20 years. I know exactly what I'm doing. thanks!

windows automatic updates

i have some questions about the windows automatic updates in windows xp pro w sp/2. ive got about forty updates they recommend , mostly for security but i only installed two today. after installing them i found them in my add/remove programs in the control panel, if i add all these updates that is a lot of space on my hd almost 1 gig. i thought that updates just updated files and not created new programs. should i innore all these update suggestions from microsoft?

A simple solution but one that works in most circumstances!
