If I am in game it gets minimized and the pop up shows. Last time I did the update my PC went to the blue screen of death, f'd up my hard drive which isn't functioning anymore and lost my PC for about a week. Now since you idiots can't miss me for that period, I am wondering wether or not to download it. So did anyone downloaded it, got problems or not? I'm tending to not download it, but then the other question comes...how the hell do I postpone it for longer than an hour? Tried setting the 'active hours' but it won't let me...

I know many just try to set "Windows Update" to manual, but that wont stick. Windows 10 will restart the damn thing. Here is the only way I could get Windows 10 updates to stop and stay that way. Go to services and double click "Windows Update",force it to stop, then choose the "log on tab". Check the "This Account" box, then in that field type .\Guest In the password field leave it as is. Though the password field generates characters, they dont function. Just leave them. Click apply and thats it. Hope it helps.

After these major OS updates A lot of settings are returned to defaults and standard Microsoft drivers. It's a good idea to have all your drivers downloaded before the update. You can also use the Media Creation Tool to create installation media for a clean install of the latest build. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 In an email sent to my Microsoft account about a month ago was Microsoft's updated Terms of Use policy. It basically said that if your not happy with Windows you can always uninstall and use something else.

I've still got it. After that, I built my PCs because it was a lot cheaper. I built at least 10 of them for the wife and I. Then maybe 10 or 15 years ago or so it became cheaper to buy them built. But in all of that time, from DOS, through Windows 1.0 and on down I've never had a problem that I can recall with operating system updates. Maybe that's because I learned very early on not to fuck with your computer. Back when everyone was overlocking, I wasn't. When people were dicking with driver settings, I wasn't. And I just never had a problem. Now I did have problems with graphics over the years which taught me to never upgrade video drivers; if they weren't broke, I didn't fix them.

I went to place where you showed above and changed the status from Automatic to Automatic (delayed) i am hoping this is what i had it on before because i could keep postponing the updates for week after week until i checked that the updates were causing other people no problems, why can't i just tick the "disabled" option, shouldn't that stop the updates, i am not too comfortable blocking the updates, i am sure these useless twats at Microsoft must get some right now and again and if we don't need them why do they do make us have these updates?

Yeah but thats my point Harry, i never fucked with anything, everything was running fine until the last update and it is the only time i have had a problem with Windows 10, it's strange that some people get problems and others dont with the same updates, i suppose it is because no two PC's are the same, we all have different graphic cards, processors etc, it just pisses me off that they drop this crap on us and just leave us to sort it out ourselves.

Set it to ( Semi-Annual Channel ) instead of ( Semi-Annual Channel "Targeted" ) If your not interested in being a Guinea Pig for Beta updates. "Targeted" means you are targeted to receive partly tested "Beta" updates that are Not ready for Widespread distribution and use.

Well i don't get the option to choose when updates are installed in my settings and on the middle tab in my picture below where it says "Automatically download updates, even over metered data connections (charges may apply)" as you can see it is set to Automatically update, if i click the box to switch that off it just jumps back to on, so they obviously don't want to us to block them from updating, i can't see the point of them giving us the option if we cant use it.

Well that's Windows 10 for you , the OS is barely even in Beta so that's why they force updates. I remember when 1 update basically fucked up one of my HDD where it began making clicking noises , I had enough and went back to 8.1 and everything was working perfect and haven't had an issue since. The only decent Windows 10 is the Enterprise edition where you can actually disable the updates and telemetry. The recent Windows 10 updates seem to be hit or miss for most peoples computers which is unacceptable in my eyes , its no wonder why many businesses stick to windows 7 Sonovabich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
