    Windows doesn’t force you to do anything. You can reboot or not reboot, or skip updates altogether.

      Windows lets you pause updates for some time, maybe a week or so, after that you’re going to take them whether you like it or not. Granted, you had a week or so to prepare, so it’s ok to some extent, but don’t tell me Windows doesn’t force you…

        No, you can disable them completely through local group policy. Windows doesn’t force you to do anything.

          Hmm, good to know, I’ll have to try, just out of curiosity. Is that available on Windows Home or just Pro? Anyways, it’s not something that many people would easily figure out, so for most non-technical people they effectively cannot disable them.

            It is available in all versions, but there’s no UI in Home Edition, you have to modify registry by hand.

            As for non-technical people, these are the people who should be forces into updates.
