Windows 10 Home edition may force updates on you
Users of the Home edition would not be able to defer automatic updates, according to Microsoft's Windows 10 specifications.
In Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, Microsoft gives you the ability to control when or even if you want to download and install updates. But that seems to be changing with Windows 10, at least with the Home edition. A new Windows 10 specifications page posted by Microsoft provides system requirements, notes and other facts about the upcoming new operating system software. And one section in particular reveals a change to the way Microsoft will let you handle updates.
"Windows 10 Home users will have updates from Windows Update automatically available", the Descriptions page explains. "Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise users will have the ability to defer updates."
