  1. How can I get it to stop forcing me to do Windows 10 updates on my Computer?


    Every time I turn around, I get this 'nagging' thing in my Notifications Center (Or whatever you call it) trying to get me to allow them to do another update for 'improvements' onto my computer. But honestly, every time they do this, something new doesn't work any longer on my computer right afterwards.

    One time they did these updates and my Volume Control stopped working, then my videos on YouTube started turning into just a black rectangle and I couldn't even watch them any longer, then this time my keyboard has started skipping letters. This is a brand new Lenova computer and a brand new HP keyboard that was working just fine before they did this update.

    Is there any way that I can make them stop bothering me to do these updates? Because every time they to, to be honest I am thinking to myself, "Please no, not again!" and I start wondering and bracing myself for what is going to stop working this time around.

    And if there IS a way to stop having these updates, would it cause any new problems on my computer? I have to wonder, is this some sort of 'testing' thing where they are just doing it for a different reason? Like Google Canary or something?

    :)

    Windows 10 forced download

    I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.

    ^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.

    Windows 10 forced download

    To stop the download, uninstall the KB3035583 update (under "Control Panel > Windows Update > Installed Updates").


    To get rid of the C:\$Windows.~BT folder:
    • Right-click on your C: drive.
    • Select "Properties".
    • Click on [ Disk Cleanup ]
    • After the initial scan: If you have a [ Clean up system files ] button, click it and wait for the second scan to finish.
    • Scroll down the list and look for "Temporary Windows installation files" (its size should be in the gigabytes range); check the box.
    • Click on [ OK ] to start the clean-up.
