    That doesn't stop windows update from grabbing them on next run, at least it didn't back in the RTM days. It simply stops a secondary process from installing them immediately.

    How do I remove this mystery person from my family sharing?

    Hi David,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    These steps will remove any family settings from a Microsoft account. The person you remove will still be able to sign in to all their devices.

    Hope this helps. Please reply if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.
