Now checked and mine hasn't been updated, so doing it manually now.

If you go to 'settings', windows updates, then advanced, you have loads of options as to when to let windows update and install itself.

Well that didn’t work!

Came down this morning expecting it all to be updated and finished and even though I have everything set to let it update automatically whenever it wants, the fooker was sat there waiting for me to say it could install the update. Grrrrr

Set the times that you are most likely using the 'puter. Save.

Windholes won't install updates (without asking you) during these times.

Mines set 8 am to 9 pm.
Well that's f3cked that theory then. At 7pm ish without asking Windows installed update and shut down...

It seems the up date was for security however I must question that when it removed not only pass words to use with Firefox but also Windows 10, I found I could open without entering a password.

“I’ve been a very bad girl” she said, biting her lip.

“I need to be punished.”

“Very well,” he said, and he installed windows 10 on her laptop.

I think updates are more of a benefit to Microsoft that to the user, installing more ways on your computer for them to spy on and more effectively track your activity for their own commercial purposes.
