Windows 10: How can I prevent a Windows 10 updates from destroying my computer again, again, again?

Everytime I get a new computer it's amazing, runs fast, no lagging, everything is perfect and Life is GREAT! Then.... Windows does an update, which is understandable, pc running and booting a little slower, then another update....running and booting a little slower again. I turn off auto updates... THEN it updates again in backround.... Computer booting and running even slower.. Then more updates, more lag, longer boot times, more updates, exponential degradation of computers performance to updates from then on.. Then after updates after update copy of a copy of a copy of a destroyer update wipe windows and start process all over again, again. H o w D o I S t o p T h e s e D e s t r o y e r A d d o n s, I m e a n, U p d a t e s ??

Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.

Any Windows update breaks my Creative sound drivers. Best way for me is to disable it via group policy:

• Go to Run –> gpedit.msc
• In the Group Policy Editor, go to Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System –> Device Installation –> Device Installation Restrictions
• In the right hand pane, select “Prevent installation of devices not described by other policy settings” and set it to Enabled.

Once that's done, uninstall the driver Windows put in there and install the correct one.
