48 max.. issue is windows 7 automatically gets upgraded to 10.. however nice i try..If your updates are eating 15-20gb of space then you are doing something wrong. A properly maintained win 10 installation(excl installed softwares) should not need more than 50gb under any circumstances with or without updates.
I have used many versions of win10 and right now im using latest version because i did clean install and creation tool installed that one.realise that it rebooted for updates even thought you've set the alternate hours for installing upd
That can be very well blocked permanently via group policy settings.it will automatically bring a screen to you which will tell you to download updates.
That screen gets priority and will force any program you are using to get minimized untill you click 'view updates'.
Nice to know, i will change that.That can be very well blocked permanently via group policy settings.
So you mean going through registry or group policy is a problem? If you have ever worked in a windows infra you must have came across AD. And unless you have Group policy what would have you done in such environment? Simply log on log off in domain. GP serves a great purpose and so does registry. Its not to make the machine work but to alter some in-depth low level settings to bypass the usual high level settings. This wasn't a complex case until win 10. But what Microsoft has done is good considering the current scenario of ransomwares and other attacks. If it simply goes on keeping all such options open for the end user imagine what can happen. The user will disable everything and in the end will miss all important updates & definitions and screw up himself and blame MS. Right?its weird that no one sees any problem in going through a registry editor or group editor or do ten other steps in order to get their machine to work. and people say linux is bad for noobs when they are doing more than that on windows just to get their OS to work. lol.

Some tweaks are best kept on expert level or unless you know what you are fiddling with.
And comparing linux and ms is illogical here. Both are good in their own way.
I already mentioned "Some tweaks are best kept on expert level or unless you know what you are fiddling with." Thus somebody having no registry kb messing with the registry is his responsibility.group policy is meant only for network admins and not for normal users. even registry tweaking can cause the os not to boot properly if something was deleted or something.
Where are users deprived? And they dont have to everyday do any settings. They can very well simply pause updates. May be after some months a nag screen popsup for forceful updates but this is to remind the user that it has been quite a long time windows was update and this is with good context Ms is forcing for an update at that time as updates are released almost every day and over the period user has very well missed tons of loop hole fixes already. This is to safeguard the user and his data.everyday users shouldn't be messing with these settings just to stop windows updating or to stop nag screens etc. that was my point.
Coz linux is anyways secured and virus free so pausing or disabling updates wont harm the end user. But thats not the case with windows so initiative by Ms is a welcomed one.comparing ms windows and linux is not illogical here. in linux we don't have to do such things to stop updates or any such forced malware type behaviour from the os.
On a hackint0sh or a regular Mac?The last decent version of Mac OS that I have used is Mac OS 10.3 Panther. Every release after that is rubbish and roughly around the same level as Windows ME in stability.
Intel doesn’t seem to have any future.
LTSB does not include Edge nor any Microsoft Store (Universal Windows Platform, or UWP) apps, whether Redmond-made or third-part, because the browser and those apps constantly change and need updating. Also AWOL: the Cortana voice-activated digital assistant and access to the Microsoft Store.
That's completely false. With known vulnerabilities and no security updates, your OS won't be able to help you.linux is anyways secured and virus free so pausing or disabling updates wont harm the end user.
