I was forced to get windows 10. I have no control over updates. I have no idea how to stop them. Then my computer restarts without my knowledge or consent, any open documents are gone and all windows open are gone. Have any ideas what to do?

Go to the Cortana window and search for "Services".

Choose the "Services desktop Ap" from the list.

Scroll down the long list to the "Windows Update" listing.

Double click on it, and it will give you some options.

Go to the dropdown list for "Startup Type" and choose "Manual".

Go to the bottom of the window and choose "apply".

Choose OK to close the window.

After you do this, you will have to go to the "Windows Update" settings and manually tell it to look for and DL updates when you want to do an update.

MANY thanks!

I am such a techtard I consider myself fortunate if I can even articulate a question.

Could not find Services Desktop ap or app, or desktop ap/p.

(they wanted to spell it with two pps.)

So I searched for Windows Update/s and coudn’t find any way to stop it from restarting on its own. Any other hints welcome.
