How permanently stop windows 10 force updates
I'm using an ACER aspire ES 14 laptop and it's been with me for over a year now with no problems whatsoever. Not until the start of 2018 where out of nowhere, windows 10 wants me to install their updates. Now for how long have I been ignoring those latest updates and seen some of the peoples complaints in recent forums that the newest updates destroys their PC/laptops instead of making it better, I'm kinda scared and also don't have the time to get all of the updates in my laptop. First, it was the windows assistant that was bugging me, where it would just show up and stops me for doing anything else. I tried the following method of going to "Services" and disabling both "Background Intelligence Transfer" and "Windows Update" and restarted my laptop, but of course those didn't work since it will automatically enables themselves again while also installing windows 10 assistant back. So I tried another method I found here that needs me to go to Task Scheduler and do some tweaking here and there, and what do you know, it worked! At least for 3 weeks... Then a few days ago, I found windows 10 assistant installs itself again, so I had to do the same steps I did before and it worked so far, then the next day where I was expecting it to install itself again. Something new happened, instead of windows 10 assistant, I just received a notification in my Action Center that "We're getting your PC up to date" and I know for sure that it's still a windows update and this is the part that's making me nuts and stressed out since I have no idea how to stop this, I'm all out of options even from searching this on the web. So I really need help from this.

They aren't releasing a new update "in response to 1709" or as a reaction. The next update, 1803, has been being planned for years now.
1709 means Update for September of 2017
1803 means Update March of 2018 (coming in a few weeks
There will be another big update in 1809, and again in 1903. Every 6 months.

2018-02-28T19:35:43+00:00 I agree,I was chatting to a guy from the Microsoft help desk who was trying to help me he says a new update comes out within the next few weeks. Maybe they know this upgrade has failed most people.
My system version is 1703 the upgrade is 1709. I think he said the new new version is 86.... The annoying thing is my system works so well until now. He said its a problem with my BIOS setup which expired 2013.Problem is im not IT.
