Chris and Bob, I think we are at cross purposes here.
Neville and I were talking about preventing a Windows 7 PC from being updated to Windows 10 and not updates to Windows 10 software.

I haven't had that many Windows 10 updates and they have never stopped me from doing anything. When you go to shutdown, you might get a notification asking if you want to update and shutdown or just shutdown. I always pick the update and shutdown option, and my Wife always picks the shutdown only option so that I have to catch her computer up with updates every once and a while.
