Insert every bad word of exclamation that you can think of.  

I was saving a WIP for this month's challenge and got interrupted by a Windows update that scrambled my file.

Damn them.  Damn them.  Damn them all to hell!!.

    Windows 10 Pro (a step down from Enterprise/Education) allows you to defer security patches for up to 35 days, the big feature version updates for up to 365 days (depending), or until you manually check for them. It also allows you to tell it to only do updates during certain times of the day when the system is less likely to be busy. I think it costs about $150 US, but I'm not sure; this system was ordered with the Pro version, so I'm not sure what it would cost as a separate upgrade from Win 10 Home.

    You can disable the services that enable reporting and updating. You can also use a 3rd party firewall to block updating. Doing these things can have unexpected side-effects, though.
