Wrongfully forcing updates

Why is Windows wrongfully pushing updates even AFTER I paused the update AND reverted back to an old update where BOTH monitors would work.... Not turning my PC on and my main screen staying black and my 2nd screen is the only one working that usually just displays music and temps to watch. I've even attached a photo that shows that on Windows own website they state that updates for Windows 10 are no longer, so why y'all pushing updates if they're apparently no more updates for Windows 10?!!! I'd love to know why your going against your own black and white documentation and statements...

Hi Kathryn,

There's a way even it's not so convenience to do, it's performing an In-place upgrade.

Disclaimer: Let’s try performing an in-place install or in-place upgrade which will refresh your Windows files and operating system without removing files or applications. That being said, we always recommend that if you have important data, you should back it up before making large system changes. If you want to back up your data first, please do so. Once you are done backing up, you can follow the steps in the following guides: How to perform an In-place Upgrade with Windows 10 Step-by-Step Guide - Microsoft Community

After doing so, you will get Windows 10 before ESU and recent updates. Then you may choose to not update further and wait for further updates that fix your problem.

I hope that above information is helpful to you.
