How do you turn off windows 10 updates which are really powerful?

Aldy Winata 35

currently using windows 10 and because it is affected by windows updates, a confirmation always appears to switch to windows 11.

My device is not strong enough to use windows 11.

I've searched the internet but after a while windows update is active again, so I want to completely turn off windows update

I have the same problem.

I recently installed the latest Windows 10 and I wanted to be up-to-date, but I found out that after installing an „update” for the wi-fi driver, my home network is not visible anymore (other wi-fi networks are visibile), and I have to restore the previous version to fix the problem.

Has anyone had this kind of problem?

Just use Linux or something.

Only use Windows if you need to run a Windows-only app or something.

Avoid it otherwise.

why are we even having this discussion, my computer is mine, microsoft literally has 0 rights to reboot outside of when I manually say to do so
I am a tech enthusiast, but not a corporation capable of paying for features intended to be locked behind a "pro" license
this means as a gamer I have one machine that absolutely MUST run 24/7 unless a 100% MANUAL reboot is authorized(due to having to babysit AU, due to the occasional broken update destroying the MBR, it happened at least once to me)
so why is there not a simple "do not ever automatically restart for any reason, I must decide when directly every single time" option?
sorry but I did actually update older windows(at least windows 7, when I ran xp I did not have internet to even allow automatic downloads while not online due to dial-up being the norm for me(no broadband cable providers existed at the time) so I am the case of "I decide when and if to update/restart, not someone who didn't pay money to build a computer"

this is not a question, this is a simple demand that microsoft will fulfill or be destroyed by class action lawsuits, these completely unjustified forced automatic reboots and driver changes have actually damaged the productivity of businesses and even students(who should never have had any issues)
this is not even a "do it while I am asleep" thing, because laptops exist, devices with finite runtime often turned on for minutes and shut down/hibernated and only updated manually because you need to be 100% sure you won't need to unplug anytime soon(updates should never run on battery, for any reason)
this is just a company deciding(wrongly we all agree) that they have any say in when the actual users reboot(they actually have no legal right to force reboots)

fix it now, and for all previous currently supported builds of windows, or leave the door open to the inevitable consequences
it will either be >50% of all current windows users suing you for lost time, or it will be a complete decimation in your market share to a linux+wine solution(because people will not tolerate your bullying for long)
I dabbled in linux for a bit, though I only tried a single build that was intended to mimic windows and had driver issues as a result, but I am actually on the verge of going full ubuntu, just to delete forced non-kernel update reboots as even something to consider as possible
the pain of my 0% downtime devices going down for hours/days when I am not able to fix them due to physical proximity is like months of systematic torture compared to the mild ramen water burn of learning an os that is not at all under microsoft control

the only valid answer is
unless microsoft adds a toggle that stops all automates power controls(ie allows you to disable all automatic reboots for any reason, except actual BSOD issues not related to some critical process being in the pagefile despite it being stupid to not have a process blacklist for swapping)
install linux instead of windows

it might sound like I am some linux fanboy, nope
I just understand and accept that my computer should never do anything I do not tell it to do, which includes any time it leaves the s0 power state, for any reason other than loss of power(which may be outside of your control
yup, if my pc sleeps, reboots, shuts down, anything other than idle at desktop, it is 100% my choice, microsoft has no say in what it does
the only thing they can complain about is online services like onedrive
if I have my pc set up with a local account and no backup, it does not reboot, ever
now yeah, reboot when it makes sense, like when you are sitting there eating dinner and have some time to kill while the OS reboots to apply ONLY the kernel updates(because non-kernel = never reboot, figure it out or don't push those updates at all, take a page out of linux's book)

simply put, unless the only time my pc ever shows the bios splash screen is when I manually reboot, then uninstall windows, period
