Nothing like having your hard drive churn massively every day for 25 minutes while windows installs a version update and then has to roll it back because the update failed.

Yes, I just stopped auto-updates on this laptop in just a few minutes. Editing Registry was fairly easy.

I prefer doing updates manually every couple of months.
Except I have a automated procedure to update Defender virus signatures, with a click of the mouse.

After it rolled back twice, I shut off updates for 3 weeks. I tried again, another rollback. Shut it off for 3 weeks. Next attempt, it proceeded past the 51% point and finished. It took 3 reboots to complete at that point. I run on an SSD, so the "churning" was dead quiet. It's my personal machine. I'm on my company laptop 16 hours a day, so missing out on the personal system was no big deal.
