I found a way to permanently block W10 updates

Simply don't have enough disk space on the C drive to download the updates! :laugh:

My old Win7 installation has been crying for years now. I never activated it. As far as I can tell, I'm being punished by being denied access to updates, not allowing a desktop background image and shaming me (yawn) by writing 'unregistered' into the corners of the desktop. This way I was spared from Win8, Win10 or any other junk. When Win7 finally outlives its usefulness one day, I will kiss Mickeysoft goodbye.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Yes, faced the same problem. I think it was update 1803 that required 5 more GB of space on the C: drive which was on 28 GB. How can Microsoft Windows require so much space????? Of course they have crap on their like Mail, which takes a lot of space, that you cannot delete. The Microsoft Windows and Office teams are really bad.

Actually, if you just wash (and thoroughly rinse) you PC it will be fine about avoiding updates.

It certainly won't keep it from trying however. [Edit] If the purpose is to avoid installing updates all the time, those who recommend Linux have clearly not spent a lot of time with it. If I was to compare the total bandwidth used for updates in a month by a single Linux system with a single Windows system - Linux is the biggest hog, by far. This is one of my VM hosts I have here at home. This one has nothing but Linux guests:

77I like to tinker with Linux. I have a number of versions of CentOS, Debian, Elementary, Fedora, Korora, Linux Lite, Mageia, Manjaro, Mint, OpenSUSE, Oracle Linux, RHEL, SLES, SolydXK, Ubuntu, ZorinOS and a few lesser-known distributions. I can say with confidence they're all bandwidth hogs when it comes to updates.

I still need full .NET support. Core is getting close, and looking good. But then again, there's the whole UI thing too. :sigh:

Yes that is definitely a pretty bad bug. It really irritates me also.
