ALL of the systems running 1703 blue screen upon reboot AFTER applying this patch (KB4041676). The message that comes up is INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. After that, it reboots automatically, attempts to boot again, and then displays the 'Automatic Repair' screen. None of these systems make it past this message. My ALPHA test systems range from brand new Lenovo laptops, 2 Lenovo desktops, 1 Dell desktop, 2 custom built desktops, and 10 VMs. What now Microsoft?," one user wrote.

I disabled Windows Update on all my system, M$ can screwed everyone else but not me.

My PC/laptops, my rule, I don't need M$ to tells me when I need an update for whatever crap security reasons.

I don't use these complicated and cumbersome methods, there is a simplest method works with every version of Windows.

Go to services.msc then Windows Update, select "Disabled" at the startup type options, click Apply then OK.

Job done, Windows no longer bothers you with any update. When you are free enough or no immediate need to use the system, simply start Windows Update again for whatever update you missed.

tbh, stronger potential of messing up the system is myself or other user :o
so better to do image backups now & then, and also file & data backups, to mitigate...

This works. Though sometimes W10 starts some random background installer process (because suddenly temps & fan ramp up) and I'd have to manually kill it :s27:

Have to kill so many telemetry stuff and manually lock down updates which can randomly appear and go "hey peasant, we're restarting this machine in 5 minutes and you don't have any choice but to accept it!"

The very same god damn services eat performance for no reason :s22:

Or how about Windows 10's party piece : "I see that you're gaming right now it would be a real shame if someone were to RESTART YOUR PC WITHOUT WARNING"

Alternatively, you can defer updates to 365/30 days for features/security. More than enough time for the guinea pigs to find the bugs. :D:evil:

Few months back I think had some anniversary update. I kept defer it..then about 2 weeks ago I just update it as the prompt is irritating.

After update, wanted to play csgo, so launch it. Woah even though I have 400 to 500 fps, the gameplay became so jerky. Either the anniversary update causes some refresh rate drop or something.

Immediately rollback to previous build and back to normal. Block window updates ever since.

I don't think you can delay critical updates on Windows 10, even for the Pro version. I believe these Tuesday updates are critical updates.

The delay update feature is for those half yearly upgrades.
