Woman wins $10k judgment against Microsoft for forced Windows 10 upgrade

Am I the only one who leaves the Windows Update service entry disabled under the "services" settings?

Seriously, it's that simple. I check once a week, tops.

You are a responsible administrator, and should be rewarded with system stability and job satisfaction. Good work.

I wouldn't say disabling all security updates is a good solution.

Read a little more carefully: I update when I want my laptop tied up with an inconvenient process. Scheduled, not never at all.

Ah, yes sorry. I've heard this advice given often for the "Windows 10 problem", but given to users who definitely would never bother/know to update manually.
