Might be because I'm on a later version or because I've tinkered with some stuff I forgot but there is no more automatic updates like that me. It's either it updates outside of active hours or you can schedule the day it updates and I've been scheduling it for 2 days later every single day for around 3 months now. There is no way to get the computer to shut down without updating though since it's "restart and update" or "shut down and update" without force shutting it down (which I'd rather not do) so I'm going to eventually have to update. The scary thing is that this update is the one that's been deleting documents which is why I've been planning to backup my drive first before doing it but I haven't found the time to do so --- </topic> <cite>GiftedACIII posted [p:913393646] in Microsoft ...

Might be because I'm on a later version or because I've tinkered with some stuff I forgot but there is no more automatic updates like that me.
