Update Settings in Windows 10 RTM

[Ickis99]

Is it already known if Windows 10 RTM will have the update setting available to only show that updates are available without forcing you to install them? There are rumors that this is the future for Windows Update that you cannot prevent them. Other sources say it?s only for Windows Insiders until you have final RTM version.

Believe this is what you are looking for:

First, the Slow-approved patch goes out to all consumer Windows 10 customers -- the ones with "free" Windows. Consumers have no choice about it; they will get the patch, thereby being updated to the "Current branch." Presumably Windows 10 will have some mechanism for prohibiting reboots at specific times of the day, but that's the extent of individual customers' control. There will be no ability to shut off automatic updates (short of permanently disconnecting from the Internet), no provision for blocking specific updates, and no way to roll back updates -- either one at a time, or en masse -- should they cause problems. I haven't seen any official announcement that lays the process out quite so starkly, but that seems to be where we're headed.

Wow. That?s really ridiculous. In other words W10 will be completely unusable for everyone who ever wants to test something (because it never happened before that an update broke anything). Thats a fine Piece of work -.-

NO, this only for Windows 10 HOME EDITION.

Pro users can refuse updates.
