Microsoft finally lets users pause updates in Windows 10

[JEMM]

One of the features Microsoft introduced with Windows 10 was mandatory
updates. The software giant was obviously hoping this would keep users
safe, but it's proven to be a divisive move. Pro users can defer
updates, but Home users don't have this luxury. There are numerous
third-party tools available that give users greater control, but the
forthcoming Creators Update will allow users to easily pause updates as
and when required. SEE ALSO: Fool Windows 10 into disabling automatic

Actually, what I want is the ability to DECLINE updates, because I've
been in situation where patches offered by Microsoft have had negative
effects on my systems. "Pausing" for a mere 35 days is not enough; I
want to be able to say "no, do not install patch X, and do not offer
it to me again."

This is the number one reason I do not use Windows10, and is the
stated reason why my company is avoiding it (and actually -gasp -
considering a migration to Linux, of all things) too.

(The awful interface and the too-tight integration with Microsoft's
online "services" run a close second and third, however).

If ones computer is not connected to the internet then Microsoft cannot
update anything.
