is there anyway to stop win 10 keep loading updates.willie nillie even though i have set the time in setup
thanks for helpWith Win 10 Home you can pause updates for at least 35 days and even longer with a few tweaks. If you use settings to say you have a 'metered' connection this slows updates. I rarely shut down my laptop, I just close the lid which puts it into 'hibernation' and the windows updates just sit on the right in the taskbar waiting for me to agree to install them. If you shut down the laptop, updates will install on start-up.
You can also uninstall an update.
If you have the Win 10 Pro version you can prevent updates for a year or more.
I had to uninstall an update in Sept 2019 (post#1042) it was overheating my laptop.

it does with my pants ispI just let them go as soon as they arrive, doesn't take long usually.
Jim, did you select edge as your default browser? I did (by mistake) but it is working out very well!Anyone else noticed that Windows10 acting differently since recent update? Doesn't open directly from "Start screen" needs that you subsequently click "Edge logo"
Jim, you and most of us!Richard, I don't have the confidence to change things on computers, for "Edge" to be my default browser that's what it came with!
OldMohawk, I did not move or loose anything either when I updated. In fact I don’t recall loosing or moving with any update.I have about 8000 images plus other data in various folders on my laptop and they have never been moved during major version updates. I suppose we all have our computers set up differently.
My Lenovo notebook took a little over 6 minutes to update.Updated my laptop to Version 20H2 OS Build 19042.572. It took 40 minutes.
Apart from Start tiles now transparent I can't see much difference. Microsoft say the version has better security. Everything else runs normally.

My desktop Acer only took 5 minutes ... I think Microsoft had pre-loaded the data over the past weeks and just had to initiate it.
It seems a stable update with not a lot obviously changed. I notice some tiles are not transparent which makes the Start look untidy but apart from that no complaints ...My Lenovo notebook took a little over 6 minutes to update.
