Well, the MS "MVP" stopped following this thread back in March so there's not much to gain here. And he did tell us all to switch to another operating system so that's what I did (although I'm posting this from a W10 computer I'm fixing; you can probably guess what happened to it). Don't be afraid to try Linux, there's a lot of user-friendly, reliable distros out there and Wine has been developed to a point where you can run pretty much any Windows software apart from DirectX-reliant games. There's no reason for us to accept this level of "service" and torture ourselves with this utterly broken excuse for an operating system. Time to boycott Windows and companies like HP, who are working with MS to make sure we're all slaves to this garbage. Enough is enough already.
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.
