Information about the updates!
Windows 10 Home is permanently set to automatically download all updates, including cumulative updates, security patches, and drivers, and users can not individually select updates for installation!
The possibility to deactivate the automatic updates completely, is not provided in Windows 10, is something like the German TÜV at the car, only twice a year!
