troubleshooting Question
How do I turn off Windows auto-update (Windows10)?
asked on
I thought I had done this but apparently not, so it's YOUR turn, experts!
In the past week, I have received three of Microsoft's notices about updates being automatically installed when I shut things down for the night. This is especially annoying because I have my computer(s) plugged in to an industrial strength power strip so when I'm done, I can shut them, external speakers, and anything else plugged in, down with the flick of one switch without having to wait...and wait...and sometimes wait some more.
I searched and thought I found the settings to change to disallow the auto-update function, but apparently not.
I'm guessing what I'm asking is fairly simple and the info I found was just bad info.
