Get the app WUB.exe which can stops auto-updates and start auto-updates when you want them.

For one thing, auto-updates slow down the PC. When automatic updates are stopped, computer resources are not used to check updates, download them and install them. I do my updates when I want them done, not constant communication with microsoft.

Does WUB do more than just turn off the Windows Update service? Cause that’s easily done just from the PC management dialog (unless of course Microshaft has something that keeps turning it back on or something).

Thanks for that tip. I dual boot Win10 and Linux Mint with Linux being the primary.

It’s so frustrating to boot into windoze after a time then have to wait for the slow process of updates.

If you know a trick to turn off all the windows and app sounds other than the one under “Sounds” that doesn’t work; please let me know.
