Now that is something that I want.
To play a numbers game, I'd pay $500 for that if it came with HyperV and the possibility of creating VMs for development with no extra licensing cost. Maaybe $700.
Will this address the absurd automatic updates/reboot "feature"? I've had the experience multiple times where a step away for a few minutes and come back to a blank desktop, even during the "active hours" period. This is especially infuriating when I do most of my work in a vbox slackware VM and win10 is just a host that I want to stay out of the way; instead I lose my entire current state. This seems like a major de…
Classic example of Metrics Driven Design, if you start scoring a team's performance on how many people update to the latest version then the methods of forcing an update become more and more intrusive. No wonder Apple always boasts such great update percentages for iOS, the thing practically bullies you into updating, I had a 4S for a long time and had to dismiss multiple nags a day to update and threats to delete apps to make space for the precious update.

Rebooting your computer daily will do the trick. Either shut it down at the end of the day, or give it a reboot. It will do its thing and leave you alone for the next 24 hours. Before you downvote me, which many of you have done already for some reason, please keep in mind that this advice actually works. It's not my decision to have things work like this. That's on Microsoft. But it does work, and is legitimate advi…

I seem to recall there's a way to do this with group policy editor. I'd expect this to be more supported/proper than via the registry. But I can't remember where in group policy the setting is found, and am purely speculating at its reliability.

Get this is OS X too these days during the early hours. Computer wont even be idle I'll literally be typing and suddenly my apps will start closing left and right as OS X has decided its time to update/reboot.

I just disable the windows update service under "Services" and re-enable once every two weeks (and run the Windows Update GUI to click "search for updates" or what's it called) to keep everything up-to-date. Has worked without problems for the last year.
