Thanks!
I'll check that out.
I get MS wanting everyone to be as updated as possible which I'm sure avoids all kinds of support issues for outdated drivers and such but something about forcing it on me with supposedly no choice to control it strikes me as a bit too invasive.
It is. And of course, as it is with the default settings, it can force a restart when you're not even home!
Win 10 is the first MS O/S to my knowledge which makes updates mandatory. At some point, at YOUR convenience, it might be advisable to re-enable, go get 'important' or 'recommended' ones and allow installation. I've got all my W7 machines set to "download but allow me to choose whether to install" .
