Windows 10 will soon use AI to predict the best time to reboot for updates

Now Windows will be literally able to predict when Windows users use the bathroom. I mean, how much information does Microsoft needs about it's users?

On a more serious note, the problem isn't only when an update is done, it's also when an update can kill your installation. And that's where Windows 10 is the beta system we all pay with out time. And time IS money.

Having said that, let's go back into rebuilding my Windows 10 installation, after Windows 10 decided to totally destroy itself after the last update. But this time, as a secondary OS...

Of course, Microsoft will also use AI to make its update process 100% flawless, right? Not holding breath here.

They don't need AI for the updates, but their managers need to find a switch somewhere under their scalp that switches on their brain. I know their brain is in perfect condition, because it has never been used before.

Windows 7 is ready and waiting on my dual boot setup, and I’m thinking it’s time for a departure. I only ever installed 10 because oculus had to have it...but I sold the VR.

Don't restart anything for people and let them decide when to do it. It would even be a better choice to bug people into restarting but the reboot rape needs to stop and no the AI isn't a solution. It's not rocket science that any kind of forced restart will lose people data and work, some of which could be important.

Proof windows 10 is a trojan horse...they gave it away.

Definitely a horse of some kind. Millions went along for the ride, including myself.

If any of you tried the steps in my post above, I am sure that you found that the next time you restarted your PC, it once again, started the update process - just as I did. Ughhh!

Well, this time, I think I have really nailed it.

Go into Services again and find "Windows Modules Installer"
Right-click and select "Properties"
Change "Startup Type" to Disabled - click apply then OK

I have now been through multiple shut-downs, start ups, and reconnecting to the internet and NO updates!

I am pretty sure this service is the "Trusted Installer" that has ownership permissions as outlined in my post above.

As a quick means to find these disabled services when you really, if ever, that is, want to do an update, you can sort by startup type in Services - this will group all the "Disabled" services together.

If you leave all three services disabled - which I have done since I really don't have time to play right now to find out if all three of these services need to be disabled or not to prevent Windows update from hijacking your PC, here is a list of them:

"Update Orchestrator Service"
"Windows Update"
"Windows Modules Installer"

HTH

Now you likely can't install/uninstall anything. That is unacceptable for me personally.
