EULA windows 10

Question

Apparently if I try to stop Windows 10 from updating, I am cut off from service?? What the hell does that mean? My PC gets bricked? If that's the case then Microsoft can go **** itself. My PC, My Rules. I honestly just want to shut off updates at this point but Windows 10 won't allow it. And I have heard the same BS statement about how "Updates are for your own good!" ****. Your updates keep breaking my PC, too the point were I may just go without internet to stop them.

Answer 1

My PC came with windows 10 built in (Home Edition). I bought it in early 2016.

Answer 2

Which version of Windows did your system originally come preinstalled withe prior to upgrading to Windows 10?

Answer 3

Not immediately, but yes eventually you will fall out of support.

This article provides a basic description, but no mention of the update issue:

MS continues to provide support for the major version number (every 6 months) releases for 2 years. For example, Version 1511 went out of support in October when the Fall Creators update was released.

This page lists the major versions and the support end dates

Answer 4

Option 4 does not work. I have been doing that but it automatically restarts. I followed the link for option 3 and it says its temporary ( and since option 4 does not work, how the hell am I supposed to believe this will work any better? )

Option 1 does not work for me because I use Ethernet and I cannot make this a metered connection ( its not that I don't know how, its just that I get an error saying I do not have permission to do so ).

Option 2 I don't even have (there are a number of updates that are in need of a restart; I do not want these and my PC keeps trying to force me to restart).

Answer 5

That is not the case. If you block updates, your computer will continue to function just fine, outdated, but still works.

Option 1:

Set your Internet connection as metered:

Option 3:

Use Show/Hide Updates tool to block the update:

Is there an option or work around to block updates or hardware drivers that might cause problems?

Yes, Microsoft has released a KB update (KB3073930) that will let users block or hide Windows or driver updates.
