I created a post on Microsoft's website:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update-winpc/update-for-windows-10-version-1607-for-x64-based/7d1c5e21-da8c-4573-9470-34a006879dd3

I really don't want to hear about linux or Mac. It's not helpful and it only reveals the snarkiness of the person posting.

Pardon jumping onto your topic.

It would appear that after a previous update of Window my wifi signal strength (”internet access”) at times was fluctuating from normal to nothing. (Signal strength represented by the symbol at bottom right of the screen , appears like a top left one-fourth of Concentric circles). There was a new update yesterday, I hope that my issue was fixed.

IIRC, the user has absolutely no control over updates in Wondows 10.

Typically in Windows 10 you cannot turn off updates, that being stated you CAN modify your wifi connection to indicate that you are on a metered connection then only the ‘most important’ updates will be downloaded.

Are you running a Professional version of W10 (Professional, Enterprise or Education)? You CAN turn off updates on those, though most folks do not have a Professional version of W10.

Good luck!

No snark. Run Widoze in a VM under Linux. It actually runs faster. Hard to believe but it is true. I develop for Doze. I run my development environment in a VM under Linux. My compiles are 30% faster. There is a bit of a learning curve running Linux, but some builds are very Windows user friendly. I actually run this particular machine from an external drive. Try doing that with Windows. You can’t.

I work for government agency that builds its own images (you can guess where this is going). Brand new HP laptop with a custom install of Windows 8. Functioned well except, at random, the bus running all the peripherals; keyboard, mouse, ID card reader would quit working. The IT response was to put a custom Windows 7 image on the computer. No problems with the bus shutdowns, but now getting blue screens of death a couple times a day. Next they pushed an update two weekends ago. Not sure what it was supposed to do, but it killed all the application icons. If I clicked on a particular document it would open the appropriate document in its application, but it left me without access to my email.

All very frustrating.
