    For anyone who wants to do this, use Kill Windows Update. It’s simple. and it works. There’s several million reasons why conventional wisdom demands that you NOT do it, but I don’t give a fuck and if you don’t either, then this program is for you.

          I don’t keep nuclear secrets on my PC, but sometimes I run tasks that take days to process, and Windows updates have fucked me more than once.

              A machine sitting there quietly crunching numbers isn’t going to get infected unless your firewall is wide open, and if it is then correcting that is far more important than installing the latest Windows updates

              And they can use your PC for DDoS attack on other people, so it’s not like it’s just your problem if your pc gets infected by everything ever.
