Windows 10: Windows 10 "Updates are available" - Is there a fix?

Once again this "Updates are available" popup comes up on my screen, locking me out of completing what I was doing and messing me up.

I was right in the middle of renaming a file. This popup comes up and I have to click on it to get it to go away. But unfortunately, the file I was renaming wasn't complete and saved with the wrong name, and I was renaming it within a file save dialog so I could do that and save a different file under its previous name. But that wasn't going to happen because of this ridiculous popup!

I've looked but haven't seen a resolution.

Has anyone found a way to stop Windows 10 from popping up these "Updates are available" interruptions?

It wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't take over the darn screen and keyboard (you can't do anything else until you click that popup button!!!)

I like Win10 with the exception of it forcing itself down my throat with this update thing.

TIA

:)

This is a support forum, not a complaints department.

I suggest you directly submit your complaints about hardware to Nokia and software to Microsoft.



Also it often helps to read reviews when switching platforms to make sure it suits your needs. From what you've said the Lumia 820 clearly doesn't suit you.

What RSXforever wrote was a kind of review, that can help other people to judge, if Lumia is the right phone for them.

 

Hi, this is what I use to set Windows update to notify only.




The link there should give you a full explanation of what's happening- it sets a group policy setting.

I have no popups and no unexpected restarts.

The tweak tool is free, reputable; it's just a convenience rather than using a registry edit or group policy setting.

Also note as per my spec I use the AU not the Creator's Update.
