Windows chooses to upgrade to the creator update for performance improvements and new features.
Windows chooses to upgrade to the creator update for performance improvements and new features.
I begin my PC and see a notification asking me to check the privacy settings for the creator update. I can't access Task Manager or use CTRL+ALT+DELETE, so it won't start downloading Windows 10 build 1703 features. I stopped using the service, but how can I stop the updates altogether?
as soon as i set up a windows system, i turn off all the automatic updates and unnecessary stuff i don’t need. i only install fixes for what’s essential and performance boosts. for example, about 98%-99% of updates are just security patches—if you want to stop them, open services.msc, press windows key + r, then select services.msc and turn off Windows Update.
Security patches aren't crucial, are they? You probably question their purpose. When something fails in your Windows setup, you usually point the finger at Microsoft. Disabling updates isn't your responsibility—it's theirs. Right?
they’re completely unreliable, don’t you think? for viruses or malware, there are far more effective solutions than Windows updates. if a hacker can bypass your router’s defenses, that’s a serious concern. Windows security is often outdated and doesn’t keep up with modern threats. I’ve never experienced any issues with Windows Defender, and I haven’t used an update in years without problems. why rely on something so unreliable?
I maintain the updates until you decide to push for a creator update that I don’t like
By taking this action, you aren't receiving official assistance. If you encounter problems, Microsoft won't provide support. I'm confused about the problem here. You must install updates—this is mandatory. Microsoft and other Windows users have repeatedly emphasized this. This is in your interest and for everyone using Windows. If you discover a way to bypass updates, A) if you face issues, Microsoft won't assist you B) You're not officially supported, and if programs or apps stop working, it's likely they won't help either.
those who understand are fine without Microsoft help—it's essentially like telling your ISP you're experiencing lag. You just need a simple list of info and a lot more, but you won't get any extra stuff. Updates aren't necessary unless you really need them; you can download only what you require manually when needed. No Windows updates are required at all.
If you want to follow improper methods, it's your responsibility, but kindly avoid promoting such actions to others.
you seem unfamiliar with windows... probably even Microsoft's monitoring everything isn't something you're aware of. turning off services you don't use is a solid way to protect yourself. stick to installing only what you truly need, rather than following every update just because it's pushed. people often claim updates are essential, but only specific fixes matter—some folks might need a dual-monitor patch while others don't. keep it simple and trust your own judgment.
