I'm surprised this is news to you - it's a frequent topic of
discussion here.

I still can't believe this is the way Microsoft wants to go. I would
think that even their management staff would realize this is a bad
idea the first time they turn on their computer to do some urgent
work, and it decides at that very moment to insist on installing a
major update and taking the computer out of commission for a several
hours. Is that really what they want for everybody, including
themselves?

I'm still waiting to hear if someone who has installed a 3rd party
firewall and configured it to block any access to Microsoft's WSUS
servers got it to work or if Windows 10 has a backdoor that will subvert
the firewalls. To the updates, the computer would look to be offline.
When the user wanted to find out about and apply updates, they could
disable the "Block Windows updates" rule, do the updating, and enable
their "Block Windows updates" rule. In fact, once Windows 10 has been
out a few months, I suspect there will be a set of "common rules" passed
around for each community of a firewall to block updates until the user
decides to check and apply.

It really says it will download the file and let you know when it is
ready for you to install.

Hi, Ken.

Fyi...the article is about the Windows 10 approach (for Home and Pro
consumer/business end-users) for deploying Windows Updates (program and
security patches) not the Windows 10 Upgrade (free) from a prior
qualifying o/s.
