Windows 10: Disabled updates, so updates disabled audio

Documented the whole thing. Disabled updates ahead of the october updates because of news about it deleting peoples files.


Kept prompting me to update.


Finally one day, audio stops working entirely and I want to restart.


Turns out I can't shut down or restart via the menu without also updating. Alt+F4 menu indicates the same thing.


So my systems audio functionality is being held hostage, and my consent is too, unless I'm willing to "voluntarily" update. Got it.


Did an 'shutdown -r -t' on the command prompt because another microsoft answer from someone else explicitly said it would skip the update. Turns out they lied.


I'm getting sick of this. Wheren't you guys already sued for forced updates? And didn't microsoft already promise not to do that?


I'm calling my senators and congressmen. And unlike a lot of people, when I call, it's not their secretary who f***ing answers.


Can you say 'antitrust'?

Keyboard/audio stopped working after intel/samsung update from windows updates

Yesterday my dad did some updates on his Asus netbook, there was a rollup December update and 2 optional updates from intel and samsung. My dad installed all, after the restart the keyboard and the audio didn't work anymore. He did a system restore and now only installed the rollup update. After the restart de keyboard and the audio were working again. Tried one more time the intel and the samsung update and again it disabled the keyboard and the audio so my dad did another system restore and all was working again. Currently he avoids the optional updates from intel and samsung.

But how(or why) can these updates disable the keyboard and the audio?
