How to Stop Windows 10 Auto-Updates

​With Windows 10 now being released, it is posts like this (below) that truly give Microsoft and Windows a bad name. Although it may be the case in the olden days like with Windows XP where we wanted to have more control over the updates. This shouldn't be addressed in Windows 10 right out of the gate.  Since Microsoft has boldly stated this is the last operating system and the fact that it is being released not only for free, but through the normal windows update channel should provide people with at least a little bit of security knowing they are pretty sure things will go smoothly.  There have been a few million computers being testers over the past year or so and although it may be true there will be some computers that may go in to some sort of endless loop as a result of a bad update, it shouldn't be posted as "this is how you can turn this off" because in my opinion all this does is prevent true security from being implemented which in turn will help break the internet.  If you are an IT tech then sure, you are going to want to know how to go about turning things on and off but to post this for all to see when it is already hard enough convincing some people to upgrade in the first place.  What is next-- how to 'go back' to the previous operating system and/or 'how to make it look and feel like windows 7' because people are afraid of change.. change is good (generally) so long as you allow yourself at least a little time to see what this bold new future has to offer!​
