    Why does Windows 10 update ALL THE TIME?


    Hello everyone,,

    Several times a week, Windows 10 will install massive updates. These will eat up background resources and make using the computer impossible.

    I set my wi-fi to metered on my laptop to avoid the problem there (otherwise, it reduces my 10 hour battery life to 2 hours due to constantly overworking the system). But I can't do that on my wired gaming computer. And because I don't have an SSD, my performance gets absolutely ****ed during every update (which is like 2-3 times a week).

    Is it really necessary to roll out a multi-GB update every few days? There really needs to be a way to opt out of these.

    I'm talking about the "Windows Update" process that runs in the background on start-up and that can't be postponed.

    :)

    Is it time for Windows 10 already?

    Again, for those that want the update reservation and you meet the requirements ---> Upgrade to Windows 10 for Free

    And, some info from the FAQ page:

    Also, some interesting info from the Specifications page:

    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
