    How to stop Windows 10 updates


    How can I stop Windows 10 from automatically updating? I will have work open or I'll be letting my computer do an automated process overnight only to discover that Windows has updated and lost all progress. Windows also for whatever reason thinks putting the computer to sleep for a short period is an acceptable time to update. Why are these pointless updates forced without permission? Its ridiculous how frequently this happens. And, solutions I have found which do not work are to turn off windows updates in services or setting active hours, so don't bother suggesting these.
