Still on 2016 here, just checked with a manual update so not available to my subscription as yet.
I did get some updates though and immediately noticed that all add-ins that I had disabled (and even removed) were restored and reactivated after the updates applied.
Am I the only one that finds behavior like that totally annoying?

I haven't experienced that myself yet, but there are many things that Microsoft is doing that I find annoying, like I can't postpone Windows updates indefinitely or even for a reasonable time frame. Worse, I can't schedule them the way I want. They only allow for a 12 hour window of when the system is considered active.
I have one client right now where the VP often starts his day at 4:00 am, normal hours are 8 to 5 in the office, and some of the estimators work until 6 or 7. So my down time is basically 8:00 pm till 3:00 am with them.
I understand there are technical reasons for some things they do, and that not everything can be taken into account, but the past couple of years, I feel like I've got handcuffs on when I work with Office and Windows.
The hiding scroll bar on the start menu in Win10 is driving me absolutely nuts at the moment.
Fun, fun, fun....
Jim.

Hi Jim,
A way has recently been found to address this problem in Windows 10.
I hope you find the following Question thread to be as interesting as I did, which shows an easy means of disabling (or turning off) Windows updates permanently until manually re-enabled.

Skip down to the last third of the comments for the solution to that problem. Quite an interesting piece of detective work by EE member McKnife :)
I feel your pain Jim! :)

Fuller quote from the bottom of the article (and I have read others like it)
""We want you to use IE for the sites that need it - what I'm trying to say here is that I hope you don't use it for everything else,” Mr Jackson said in a comment on the blog post.
Microsoft will end support for Internet Explorer 10 in January 2020, while Internet Explorer 11 will remain as the final iteration of the software."
Some servers do not have (and have not been able to update to) IE 11. This was not in the article but I have read it along with the statement that Server updates would be revised to use IE 11. I am not sure about Server 2008 but certainly Server 2012.
