Microsoft to Windows 10 consumers: You'll get updates LIKE IT or NOT

Re: I went and saw if there was anything about WSUS and Windows 10

I hope you are right, but my guess is that WSUS will not let you off the hook here. Win10 is different from W7 and W8 since "Windows as a service" means that the OS is being incrementally upgraded. Now, how does MSFT make security patches for every possible variant of Win10 since first release? Likely answer is that it will not. It will make security patches for every variant over the last n months, where n in this case appears to be 8. So if you have WSUS and Win 10 Pro, and block all the feature updates, then after n months it won't be possible to apply security patches because the OS is in effect unsupported. Or maybe some security patches will work and others not.

If you want to avoid this, LTSB is the only official solution and that means Enterprise.
