Just leave us Windows 7 people alone.
I don’t need anymore ‘improvements’.
Every single time I turn my laptop off, there are Updates it wants to load. Trouble is, these nightly updates take forever to upload. Some evenings, it takes so very long to finish updates that I have to manually shut the computer down. Otherwise, this may last all night long!
It was not always like this. Not till after I had something else repaired at shop last June. Too expensive to keep running back to that shop.
In a twisted sense, it will be a relief when January 2020 comes around and Windows 7 officially becomes "unsupported". Meaning no more updates.
Yeah, that means it will get increasingly risky to use it for web surfing.
But the fact that after many years of pushing Windows 10 down everyone's throat, Win7 still has half of the Windows user base, means that a heck of a lot of people are more than willing to take that risk.

Seems like with windows 10 we now have computers not for work, but for updating- With windows 7 & such, we could update once a week or so- but now windows wants to update every night, and like you say, we have to set aside time to make it happen- every night practically? Ugggh- Seems like folks are more and more being held hostage by ridiculously long updates-
