Same here Liz. I plan to avoid W10 like the plague and may even drop the computer all together if forced to move to W10. As I sit back and ponder life before a computer, I got a lot more work done without one.

Thanks for posting this. My Windows 10 laptop is never connected to the Internet or wifi. I use it only for my wife's MS Works spreadsheets to help her balance her checkbook.

A long time back, I turned Win Updates off. Occasionally, I will notice a glitch and have to do a system restore. I notice in the system restore several somewhat recent entries — Critical Update. Note that that update had already been applied — even though my Win 7 Update is turned off.
