It doesn't sound like he actually wants to stop updates altogether, just to choose when they happen, which as you can say you can do with Group Policy editor with Enterprise, Educational or professional Windows 10. Perhaps play with the configuration settings and see if the download button appears. I had to tweak my Windows 10 a lot as it was being very uncooperative.
Another way, if you just have the Home edition of Windows 10, is to set your connection to "metered". In the past this only worked with a wi-fi network, but I believe Microsoft caved in to pressure when they released the Creators' update, and you can now do this with an Ethernet connection as well. When I first got this computer I actually had to do this, because my modem wasn't working and so if I wanted to be on the net, I had to tether my phone to the computer. Windows 10 immediately started sucking up all the data. Anyway, if you really wanted to try this, there are some instructions here: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3085136/windows/two-ways-to-control-or-stop- windows-10-updates.html -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scorpio Sent: November 14, 2017 9:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 10 and jaws question If I'm not mistaken, unless you're running Windows 10 Enterprise or Professional, Downloads are automatically Downloaded and Installed. The only button you should be able to see is the restart now button if you want to finish the downloads instead of waiting for the computer to do it for you. With Windows 10 Enterprise and Professional, you have the option to defer updates, but that only means you're allowed some time before you have to download and install it, and even than, this feature only applies to major service packs of Windows 10, such as the Creator's Update etcetera. Hope this helps.

I have upgrated two of my neighbors computers from windows 7 64 bit to windows 10 home. The problem I am having is as follows. After enableing group policy editer and setting windows updates to notify to download and install, I am unable to see the download updates button. I have even tried using touch cursor to no avail. The funny thing, is I can see the list of available updates but no download button. Running jaws 2018.

Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow, and to hope, and build a better life for their children-not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace in all time."
