Turn off Automatic Updates, and each month, do them manually, checking for and declining anything related to Windows 10.

When I bought my most recent Win 7 PC 4 or 5 years ago, first thing I did after booting up was turn off all updates. Haven’t DL one single update or patch. Works just fine.

Turn off Automatic Updates

I've looked and looked, and still can't figure out how to do that. Can I bother you to post a step by step procedure for turning off Automatic Updates in Windows 7? I really don't want to wake up one morning and find my computer's been upgraded to Windows 10.

Thanks.

Turn off Automatic Updates

Belay my earlier request. I finally found it. MS sure doesn't make it easy.

I set my updates so that they only download or install when I choose.

Thanks.
