Default Why would I want to pre "register" Windows 10 anyway?

With the Home/Core, it installs the Windows Update
immediately. Then informs you that a reboot is needed,
within the next 24 hours or something. And it will reboot
on its own eventually, just to show you who is boss.


This just seems insane to me. What if you're on dial-up? What if you're
doing important work when the computer decides it has to reboot? What
if you're rendering video and need all available horsepower when it
decides to download several gigabytes of updates? What if a particular
update turns out to break certain combinations of hardware? You might
even be aware of such problems but be unable to stop it other than
disconnecting from the net. I can think of many scenarios that are
troublesome, to say the least.
