        Don’t even need the damn button. Yesterday while playing some fullscreen game with critical network usage (CSGO) my windows 10 with edited group policies and registry keys to block updates just switched to the outlook from the old mail program and ran it in the foreground (behind the game).

        Microsoft doesn’t give a fuck about the user consent, the settings for updates, settings for game focus, out-of-the-way advanced user controls etc. These settings don’t even need to be defaulted without consent via updates, it seems they outright don’t work.

          Had a similar issue where my computer (w10) would restart while I was away and update my gpu driver which would crash regularly. There’s two different places in windows where you can disable this, one in general and one for specifically the device. None of them worked. Basically was forced to do the whole restart to safe mode -> destroy driver -> restart -> install driver -> restart every day. What solved it was a gpo but at that point I was so fed up I ended up switching to Linux

          Oof. If you aren’t using them, you can uninstall the default included MS Store Apps with PowerShell. Could have saved you some trouble.

          I was going to say I had a similar setup and didn’t get that update, but I remembered I had uninstalled the mail app.

          Microsoft doesn’t give a fuck about users.

      Well, it’s intended for companies, so for them there’s InTune policies or is GPOs. For us plebs, we just have to not press the button.

        GPOs

        Group policy can be modified by a laymen by launching gpedit.msc from Super+R or the start menu.

            You can do it on home. Takes a lot of googling and monkeying around, but I did it on my father’s computer years ago.
