Disable All Windows Update Permanently
Updating windows is a must because it will prevent any harm or illegal access to your computer and improving security. But it's kinda sucks when you really have a job to do and the windows tells you to update it just at that exact time, plus it cannot be cancelled or postponed. It will keep running until the update is done. Pretty annoying, right?
So when it comes to a windows update, i used to disable it so it wont took long time to load, until the desktop appears. Honestly i don't like the concept of force-updateing like in these present windows because as i mentioned above it will reduce my productivity and taking so much of my time.
