Your device needs the latest security updates...big time error.

Windows 10 update is more serious than it appears to be. Actually, MS engineers are not capable to solve the updating problem they created themselves. For many years I have not updated Windows XP and MS never posed any threat to me using invasive pop-ups.  

How do I disable it? I'm going to re-install Windows in a few days. I want to disable this Windows Update.

This is my very complaint, I did not elect to have any updates to my Windows 10.0.10585. My Sony Vaio and I are are unnerved, aggravated, and thoroughly frustrated! I have Windows 10 Pro, version I have used Windows since 1995. I have used mostly all of its different versions. This is the most annoying and frustrating problem. I have worked as both a software and database developer. All of my work makes extensive use of Microsoft Visual Studio, as well as SQL Server. This is entirely unacceptable. After rightfully acquiring ownership of an operating system, such users do have the right to deny or allow Microsoft to make changes to their machines via updates. 

I am ever so displeased.

I DON'T WANT THE SECURITY UPDATES!!! I want to know how to permanently disable this "feature." I disable Windows Update and its related services;  then, I reboot. I check computer management's service list upon reboot; it indicates that the features are disabled. Then, some minutes later, the same ominous nag screen appears. "Windows 10 _ Your device needs the latest security updates."

After several attempts at having permitting the update installation process to run, which has failed each time, I don't want to waste any more of my precious time. I have spent an inordinate amount of time repeatedly closing the persistent dialog box; disabling Windows Update and its related services; rebooting my machine; researching the issue in order to permanently disabled this nag screen. But, it has been to no avail. Whether I am doing seriously complex and detailed work or simply viewing streaming content, I simply no longer have the peace of mind, which I have enjoyed for the past twenty-five years.

This scenario was most definitely foreseen by by the team of MS OS developers; however, for some dubious reason, they chose to throw a substantial number of consumers under the bus, by unconscionably setting into motion the subsequent releases which led to this very problem.

Shame on you Microsoft!

Jayakay: it is not the job of ordinary users to fix problems created by MS. When I began using Windows 10 such annoying pop-up never showed up. I just want to have my original Windows 10 back and it is not mandatory for me to adopt version 1709 at all... MS has used the same argument air liners use to postpone and cancel airflights - everything has been done for safety reasons. As a matter of fact, MS has launched such version for its own safety.
