How To Turn Off Automatic Update:

1. Click "Start" (you'll see Control Panel)
2. Click "Control Panel' (you'll see System And Security)
3. Click on 'System And Security" (you'll see Windows Update)
4. Click 'Windows Update' (you'll see Change Settings)
5. Click 'Change Settings' (you'll see Turn Automatic Updates On/Off)
6. Click 'Check For Updates But Let Me Choose Whether To Download And Install Them'
7. You're done.

This is all reversible, so....

Good Luck

Thanks blam.

I am a clueless turn-on-and-use the laptop kind of guy.

If I turn off the automatic update, which I have just done, how do I know when new helpful updates arrive, and how do I know which ones to download and install?

If I am willing to let the Windows 10 just sit there, ignore the pop-ups and and never install it, will everything function acceptably?

Again, thanks...
