Apparently Windows 10 is going to *force* autoupdates--no compromises.
I hate, hate, hate autoupdates. Autoupdates is the #1 reason for lost productivity for me. Especially when it came to Adobe software. The reasons for lost productivity for me are:
  1. Autoupdates (for introducing bugs)
  2. Network down time.
  3. Power outages.
  4. Virus or other infection.
I'm not saying I have a lot of downtime. These reasons are all relative to each other.

My Windows 7 and Windows 8 (not 8.1) works fine. I keep my anti-virus program updated daily. Forcing autoupdates is a good reason for me to find another GUI OS altogether, if I need one.
