“when they make updates optional NOT mandatory, wake me up too”

You can’t choose which updates you’ll take, but you can set Win 10 so that it downloads updates only when you’re ready to do them. (Set Updates to “metered connection”, if you’re not using a PC to wall connection)

“When they give us back control over how our start menu looks and functions”

I get Win 7 “back” using -
Open-Shell (Formerly Classic-Start)

i use that classic shell too

Yeah i know abotu delaying updates in win 10- but what i mean is like in windows 7 you go to ‘windows update’ and can choose to install all updates, or individual ones, and ones you know are bad updates (after reading about problems with them online- Say a KB update breaks something, but you haven’t installed it- you read about the problem online, and you avoid that particular KB update by choosing not to install it when you go to windows update app) You can hide- you don’t have to get that particular update- in win 10, you have no choice, you eventually have to get all updates they throw at you-

It’s just another option that win 10 took away from users-
