    Why does Windows 10 force you to update even when you specifically choose the option to...


    Why does Windows 10 force you to update even when you specifically choose the option to only restart instead of "restart and update"?Because of this update running WITHOUT my permission, when the power went out a moment later, it bricked my OS and now it simply loops "Diagnosing your PC"/"Starting Automatic Repair" then restarting my computer.Thanks to this update that I did not give permission for, for very good reason, I spent what should have been the short amount of time of relaxation after a long day of work before going to bed instead cleaning up MICROSOFT'S mess.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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

    Windows 10 download speed issues

    Try this method:
    • First of all from Start Menu, open Settings (Type settings in the search bar and it will appear).
    • locate and select “Update and Security“.
    • in this window, Locate “Advanced Options”. Click on it.
    • In Advanced Options; Click on “Choose How Updates are Delivered“.
    • Turn off Updates from more than one place.
    Your system will not work as a seeder for other Windows 10 users. It will give sudden boast to your Slow internet speed.

    [Windows 10] hide/prohibit install of specific Windows Update

    I have never intentionally used windows to provide my device drivers (except for older printers without Vendor drivers for clients). I only manually update from the vendor websites. Will just have to make a list of things to disable/remove if I finally decide to load it up on a machine.
