Microsoft says Windows 10 will be “always up-to-date,” and they mean it. There’s no way to turn Windows Update off. To ensure everyone is secure and up-to-date on a stable platform, Microsoft won’t allow Windows 10 Home systems to delay Windows updates. Updates will automatically download, and they’ll be installed when you next reboot, or you can schedule a reboot. You’re not allowed to disable Windows Update entirely, and you’re also not allowed to put updates off if you don’t want to install them.

But they’re forcing more than security updates, and Microsoft has a troubling track record with broken Windows updates recently.

This I don't like. It would add to the reason(s) to stay clear and transition to Linux full time when Win 7 support ends. How many times have I seen M$ put out bad Windows updates that create havoc? Only after verifying the updates released are safe and stable do I update my systems manually.

More reason for me to install my Windows 7 Pro and then upgrade, rather than keep my Windows 8 Core and get Home.
