Disable Windows Updates

[Andrewp]

I just use comodo in paranoid mode. I have around 3500 network intrusions a day FROM windows system files calling home to random internet 443 ips... it's insane. And of course run in metered mode on my main networks to effectively block all updates.

And naturally when I did update, it broke things (and tried to update defender, but was never activated thanks to Commodo already being sufficient for windows' logic). Now the start bar is over everything instead of under, so annoying. That and I lost all of my nvidia custom resolutions and can't save when I go to try to re-add it. Thanks Microsux!

Upside is, I bought a new laptop that already had admin and a user setup, so I didn't need to open a microsoft account. Naturally, being paranoid, I created a new admin user and disabled the original admin user, all w/o MS account trash. I also removed all the telemetry crap (way more than win7) and uninstalled onedrive.

Only downside there is you can't use the fingerprint reader like in the past to auth w/o windows HELLo.
