    How to stop Windows 10 from choosing when to close?


    I'm working with my ASUS win 10 laptop near my Win 10 Dell PC, going back and forth. I spent more time on the Dell and the ASUS closed. I had to sign in again and restart all my programs, that I had just done before this happened again. Sometimes its Windows updates when I'm actually in the middle of things, and then it also reboots.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    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.
