Those really in the know seems to upgrade to a variant that allows them to go into group policy and curb stomp the auto-update.

Others achieve the same via registry modifications...

Or you block the download of updates via setting the wi-fi as a metered connection.

Not sure if that trick works any more in recent updates.

Yeah I think you're sort of missing the point if you think it's acceptable to have to keep up with this season's registry hacks or hex edit a DLL or whatever so you can play a game or do your job.

The thing is, beyond the wi-fi blocking update on my personal PC, I've never had to do anything else and I can't remember a forced reboot in Windows 10.
