I can't stand the incessant updates and reboots and the alerts that pop from the right saying all sorts of crud.

My wife and I were watching Amazon Prime last night and tonight. Last night I was force fed the Anniversary update with many reboots WHILE WATCHING and tonight fed anti-virus and another Windows update with another reboot, which I let shut down, instead.

Well, all I can say to you is that I am pretty sure when you get a new car, you adjust the mirror. 'Course, maybe you don't, I don't know, maybe you whine about it not being set correctly too.
It is the same with a new OS, Operating System, it makes a best guess of how you want things. So if the automatic update annoys you, set it to only update at certain hours or manual. It is just about as fast as adjusting your mirror, and the bonus is the noise goes down too, unless you only whine online. This is the Christmas season, look for solutions, help others, and be happy. And it helps to RTFM or at least the tutorial that pops up when you first install, or go to YouTube, there are countless videos about how to set up Windows to various tastes.
Go forth and adjust.

I agree, but (more so under Prot) there is a way to manage this. I only get asked to do updates about twice a month.

And "You can turn off Windows Update by setting the following registry entries (see 326):
