Everything seems OK.

I switched off many settings (like in your config). Few minutes ago I downloaded and installed Patch 1. So far everything works well.

None of the customization settings you applied will break anything.
On a side note, as I am the only one using this system, I do not use local account.

Well just turn off in related tracking option (which you did it already) and leave the Smartscreen protection on + just keep on eye from the updates that are trying to download immediately you need to download the tool provided by Microsoft to hide based on your preferences.

Overall everything are good to go.

I guess that tool is more helpful to hide any updates that gave probs i.e after Windows updated.
To hide any updates beforehand you need to check WU frequently as WU are automatic & no other options, right?

 

[jamescv7]

@yesnoo Well as you check the updates and its starting to download, you have the right to stop by using that tool to review for the meantime.

Its a shared system with average users so that tool would not be of much use for me.
Wish that tool offered options like manual update, program update, apps update, etc...

View your update history shows---
Uninstall latest preview build
I never installed any preview builds. Do you guys have the same i.e Uninstall latest preview build (Users who never installed any preview builds)?

Updates Advanced Options shows---
Get Insider Builds - Do you guys have the same i.e Get Insider Builds (Users who never installed any insider builds)?

 

[jamescv7]

@yesnoo : Yes I saw that insider builds from update settings, probably they didn't remove yet as they primarily focus on bug fixes, since RTM and official flagship are totally same to each other.

hi if my memory servers correctly ,do not try to enable insider preview download it will download the beta updates for the win 10, becoz they already mentioned that os will be developed every day so who enable to install the insider preview build those will get the ongoing beta update, so those will always stay in the beta testing phase i think

people, get skype, get office & such extra apps (except mail, music, photos, news & such useful apps)

 

[Deleted member 2913]

I am going to remove get skype/office, etc...

I am thinking of Privacy - Camera, Microphone, Messages, etc... to set to Off as I think these options especially Camera & Microphone doesn't affect IM services that I have installed on the system & use i.e Skype & Yahoo Messenger. I am thinking of either disabling globally i.e that disables for all apps or per apps basis, what you guys suggest?

More customization added in the 1st post.
Bold/Italic reflects new/added customization.
