Is it possible to permanently delete windows 10 update assistant?
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.

It clearly means that feature updates can mess up a corporation's existing programs and they have complained enough to Microsoft about it forcing Microsoft to offer this option.
It is also clear that thousands (if not more) of individual users having the same issues with feature updates has not prompted Microsoft to react in any way.
That is very sad.

They need computers to run their businesses in this century and they need them to be as reliable as possible. Still, far MORE businesses use regular Enterprise over the LTSB option.
Meanwhile the Public may THINK they need computers but it's a manufactured need. Actually, we don't, for the most part.
If you're running a BUSINESS from home you should still opt for one of the Enterprise solutions.
Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home have an important piece of advice for you: BACK UP YOUR DATA REGULARLY AND KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE (like an External Hard Drive---that's my personal choice---or the Cloud) where you can get it again if your Desktop or Laptop experiences issues with an update and you should need to do a reset to Factory Conditions or whatever).
This way you lose nothing but time. And time, is an illusion.
You can neither gain nor lose it...that's all perception, not reality.
I did a reset not long ago and barely noticed the time passing (mostly because it only took about 20 minutes for the reset to Factory Condition. Granted it took a couple of days to totally restore all my third party programs and folders and files but I wasn't really in hurry with any of that). Point is that the computer was ready to USE with all ESSENTIAL programs installed in much less than an hour).
For most of that time I had music playing on my DOSS speakers via the Bluetooth connection through my Echo Dot and was reading a book on my Kindle Fire.
Occasionally I got on my computer and posted a message here or responded to emails and so forth and so on.
But that's how I do it. Everyone is entitled to experience these little contretemps in their own way. They can agonize their way through it, rage through it, whatever.
As to the advisability of using Windows 10 (the OS for the foreseeable future) that is a decision each person must also make for themselves. Is THIS what they want? Or do they want a MAC? Do they want to build their own and install one of the other Operating Systems out there? TRAILS, for example? That is the Operating System the TOR Browser is most comfortable with and it is considered INCREDIBLY secure. Spies use it.
Do you want Ford or General Motors or a Lambo?
