  took a few too many  times a decade ago before I made myself administrator and set everything to notify me for everything before doing updates and not do them unless I allowed it

  I am so glad todays Windows 10 update was successful, was apprehensive accepting it, lots of peoples computers got wrecked by the latest one, they want us on 11 but the TPM crap means I cannot and also simply don't want to on this rig, Microsoft is a pushy B

  its literally been a decade since I had to do this and Googled every step myself 

  my current PC actually had it all set up by the person who built it for me, I specify everything no bloatware etc always get a bare bones Windows install, had to install all my own open source software etc

  There's an old tutorial here for how to block Windows 10 updates, but unless something has changed since, it only works for the pro version.

  For extra bonus annoyance, it always seems to happen on those times when you forgot to hit save before you hit render.

  Sod, Murphy's big brother, looked down upon you and proclaimed "Today, you are my plaything!" I hate Sod with a passion, he has way too much free time.
