an even more stripped down version of the LTSB would solve most of the problems being expressed here
Or create new ones...

I have a HP laptop (Model: 15-ac121na) using Windows 10 Home and for the last 3months ive been having problems with very slow internet speed. I tried so many different solutions to no avail and eventually i come across a temporary fix of rolling back the driver of the network adapter to version 2023.4.720.2015 however every time i close the laptop or restart it the network adapter updates itself again. This situation is bearable but now suddenly i keep getting window assistant pop ups constantly trying to download 5GB of updates. After giving in on what seems like the 1000th attempt to stop it i let the updates install and upon logging into my laptop i noticed the internet speeds had dropped again, i tried to roll back the driver but the option is now greyed out and i was stuck with just 54kbps on version 2023.58.731.2017!! I uninstalled the updates by going back to the previous windows build and now everything is back to normal (me rolling back the driver every so often) but im still getting windows assistant pop ups trying to install even after i went to control panel and deleted the application!
If anyone could help me with either deleting the assistant permanently or even my dodgy speeds i would be very greatful.

2018-03-15T05:04:56+00:00 To make all of you happy contact Microsoft and urge them to release a version of their Windows 10 LTSB for those who do not want any of the updates and other fixes that users of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro will have.
Currently available only to Enterprise Users an even more stripped down version of the LTSB would sole most of the problems being expressed here and leave the rest of us to enjoy all the advantages of new programs, features, and updates without listening to all these complaints.

2018-03-15T04:54:45+00:00 Yes I know there are some 3rd party solutions to stopping updates.
The point I was trying to make is that Microsoft has many areas in their system that would imply that we can choose to disable or delete items we don't want to accept, but after we make those choices Microsoft re-enables or reinstalls them.
Another area they do this is for wake timers. I would clear a box that allows the item to wake my pc, then sometime later it becomes checked again.
If Microsoft feels they know how my pc should be used, then they should just eliminate the options instead of pretending I have some sort of control over them.

2018-03-15T00:16:02+00:00 Microsoft will not allow you to stop them, no matter what you do.
I suspect that an unstated factor here is whether there is an upgrade being done from a version which has been made recently unsupported.
