Windows 10: Unwanted, enforced windows updates.

I am so raging angry at unwanted enforced windows updates.
No matter how many times I turn them off on my spare laptop, which I use *only* to monitor my IP cameras, if I have to turn off the laptop or get a power cut, as soon as it restarts, the update starts again. The issue is that when it does so, my laptop is f*cked, I have to format the drive and reinstall windows again.

I am of the opinion that if windows forces people to update when updates are neither wanted, nor required and when every update breaks what was working perfectly well before, then Microsoft needs to either give people a way of opting out at our own risk, or should be financially liable to reinstate what their stupid updates have broken.

What sort of crazy world am I living in when I purchase something, but have no say over what is done remotely. It's like buying a new car and 3 years down the line, get *forced* to have special fuel put in the tank by force, which stops the engine working, or having the manufacturers sneak out at night while the car is parked and put new updated tyres on it, which all have leaks, rendering the vehicle useless.

Sort yourself out Microsoft.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
