    Updates

    My laptop wanted to update, so I let it.

    Came home an hour later, turned it on. It said "this will take a while, don't turn off your PC, it will restart several times.

    Left home one and a half hours later, updates 23% complete! WTF?

    In my experience, it doesn't matter how many times you tell it you don't want the updates. It will wait until you're sleeping and do it anyway. I once logged on and found that my computer was in the middle of downloading Windows 10.

    Once (well more than once but once when I really really needed to be on the computer) it asked me to install updates now or install them later. I clicked the Later button and it proceeded to install them now anyway---taking an hour and a half when I had a two hour deadline to get something done.

    True, but you are the true matter of the machine. If you don't want it to, it won't.
