    Why is the update still running despite pause and being set to manual?


    I absolutely HATE Windows 10 and your hijacking of my computer whenever you decide I need updates. I bought a gaming rig to game and despite following every instruction to keep it from running while I'm actually using the computer, so very nice of you to give me a few hour window to use the computer I bought, see below. Is there a fix for this and if not why not? You really need to turn this garbage off. I want it gone, off, removed. How do I get rid of that and Medic?

    :)

  2. set the updated when shut down the laptop

    Hi,

    Installing the updates on your device will make sure that your PC is on its maximum performance. To sort out your concern, we suggest that you pause the updates on your computer from the
    Settings. To do this, you may follow the steps below:

    • Click Start > Settings > Update & security.
    • Under the Update settings section, click Advanced options.
    • Turn on the Pause Updates under the Choose when updates are installed
      section.
    • It will temporarily pause the updates on your device for 35 days.

    Let us know if you need additional assistance.
