Windows 10 - Everything you Need and Want to Know

I sure hope it won't. Also it would seem counter-intuitive given the article you linked to above.

Latest Windows 10 preview build makes it even harder to dodge updates:

I very highly doubt this will stick unless Microsoft is willing to pay for the charges incurred
when downloading a Windows update over a metered connection.

When I first tried the O&O win10shutup program I managed to stop windows updates completely, when choosing the settings. I ended up choosing its default recommendations.

Last months WU patch Tuesday got pulled, so I didn't find out until this month when I was getting a message there was a problem with the update and it has an error code. I searched that out and it indicated it could be that the BITS service wasn't running. I checked and it was off and I didn't do that specifically as I know that BITS is required for WU.

I still have my settings as a metered connection and I also don't allow Microsoft to use me as some P2P service for other updates.

So worst case scenario would be to stop and disable the BITS service which would effectively block WU and you enable it again when you want to run WU.

I will read that article and see if there is anything else I need to do as and when the Creators Update is released. Might be worth checking if the O&O win10shutup program has been updated after the Creators Update is released.

I personally can't wait for the Creators update and will be installing as soon as it's available.

I wonder who makes up these update names, Anniversary, Creator's Update, etc. etc., must be some sort of creative genius.

This Creator must be someone very special to be able to do all of this on there own.

Right now, Windows 10 offers "Night mode" native! No more 3rd party tools needed.

Guess my Internet access was too slow at the hotel I stayed at yesterday.
This update is basically a patch of problems cause by prior updates.
Sound familiar

Well any idea how to get rid of ads inside Groove for example? I dont think theres a button to turn that off.

Also read that info box in the second one you can turn off ads in Edge but for that you need to store all browser related stuff (Cookies,history,etc.) and not delete it so MS can do something with it most likely like advertising somewhere else with that.

Ask Microsoft.

Which one should I do? RTM version of Creators Update or wait for the general public release?
