I think the same is true for many end users, but that's the way it goes.

It hasn't sought me out yet, waiting patiently rather than going looking for it.

I locked out w10 using GWX, I now use W7, very stable only occasional updates.

Windows 10
build 1809 has caused so many problems that Microsoft have withdrawn it.

Just search on 'Windows 10 1809' to read the articles.

You need to tell your computer that you're using a metered connection (where you pay per Mb for data used), even though you're not. That forces Windows to only download critical updates (where there's a very real risk to your security if you fail to do so), rather than receiving everything which Microsoft wants to throw at you:

Had a bit of a 'mare on my desktop when it "lost" my user profile on restart, had to edit the registry to get everything back to normal.

Laptop worked perfectly.

Not really had a proper look through yet, but I really like the new dark theme in File Explorer :-)

Every time there is a windows 10 update my laptop becomes 'unknown' on regular sites I use like my on line banking. Its very annoying having to go through security questions. Also my printer never works afterwards. I hate windows 10!
