Re: No Control of Updating

Yes. You can disable driver updates. After Microsoft pushed a dud Nvidia driver that broke every computer with an Nvidia videocard for a few days until Microsoft fixed it, except for those people who happen to know that's there's a tool hidden away on Microsoft's website that allows you to roll back an update that broke your computer. Temporarily of course.

Sometimes I don't want to defer an update, I want to NEVER get it. The 95% of the Windows users who need forced updates probably don't know how to turn the automatic updates off in the first place.
