"NEVER AGAIN!" update option...

Anonymous

My Lenovo Ideapad 330 hates Windows updates. I have followed tutorials to turn off automatic updates, etc., but the OS continues to revert my attempts to turn off automatic updates.

This is what I want: NEVER UPDATE AGAIN without my express permission. I don't want a pop up to notify me that there's an update available. I don't want it to automatically update. I don't want anything to do with updates showing up at all. I don't want updates to take up bandwidth, I don't want updates to take up processing power, I don't want anything related to updates at all. I want complete control over updates in every possible aspect. I want to manually tell Windows to update when I want it to update. I want to choose updates to install on my own time, and not whenever this OS wants to install things.

Is there any way that forces Windows to forget that it has the ability to take over my laptop and force its own agenda?

This recent update scared me. I thought my laptop was bricked. I don't ever want that scare again. I have an issue right now of expressing how upset I am at Microsoft over these updates.

    Nothing is working. Any help will be appreciated. I don't want to spend another $2,000 on a laptop due to a Windows update. I have no way to reinstall Windows. I have no working internet connection. I have no way to revert to an older update version to save it.

    I have nothing.

    50 min mark, I have an immobile mouse cursor but initiated a sign in. Time in right task bar corner reads:

    U:RT^j

    Desktop icon images loaded, names are a bunch of junk. Example:

    a Éëâíç é fíÉã ë

    That is what my "Desktop stuff" folder on my desktop is now called.

    I am now using my phone to type this. My laptop is noe failing to load and close programs, even pulling up the task manager. It has now taken 35 minutes from hard reset to get to the sign in prompt as of this sentence being typed. My Lenovo might be bricked. Thanks, Windows, for potentially destroying my laptop with foreseeably no way to fix it.
