    It's in the sticky in this forum!! And set your updates to "Check for updates but don't download" You never want to have automatic updates enabled at this stage. In the past it was fine, but with the viruses that Microso$h4ft are bundling with the updates such as telemetry enabling updates, you need to be very careful and keep an eye on the below thread for any updates.

    Updates to hide to prevent Windows 10 Upgrade / Disable Telemetry

    Windows 10 Horror Edition. Or X=10 and the rest is easy. This horror Os can't have a another name.

    Windows 10 Home Edition? The one where you can't defer Windows Updates.

    Final. Not everyone took it. + rep :p. But should also be a common term for all Win 10 versions. Garbage can have several names, LOL Or put it another way; Dear child has many names.
    I think the name Win X Horror edition is well suited to this Os. The Enterprise version has at least a little more control on Win updates/drivers. But it does not help when you have to use this garbage after 2020. Worse with Home Edition. Who want this version ? It's free for a year. Yeees. LOL

    The problem is that it doesn't matter how strongly you feel about something if no one can understand what you're talking about...
