You don't even need anything special to put a stop to that, it's right there in the settings for windows update.

Look, read and think. That's it. I don't understand how or why so many people have so many problems using windows. Then I look at how they install things, how they don't de-select anything and they install a fuck load of bloatware in addition to what they wanted, or how they don't use any adblocking software and then they wonder why their systems run like shit and never work right.

They allowed their system to get flooded with garbage. That's why the average person doesn't like windows, because the average person knows what the buttons do, but doesn't actually know how to use a computer.

any computer, windows, linux or mac can be shitty once it's full of garbage. Those kinds of issues I described above this happen on every OS without proper protection, not just any antivirus, but a good antivirus that actually works, and an adblocker that works system wide with adblocking DNS.

There's people all over the world who can be paid to do that for you, there's guides online to do that kind of stuff on every OS that isn't made by apple.

Idiots don't know anything, and there's a lot of idiots out there that think they know everything about an issue even though they haven't actually seen what needs to be examined to find out what the problem is.

"get me up to date" turn that off

And then turn on "notify me when a restart is required to finish updating"
