I am sick of auto update windows 10 because of the random lag caused when I am gaming! I am seriously considering reverting back to windows 10 because as a relatively competitive gamer, this instability is a pain. Anyone else agree?

Just set your connected to metered, will prevent it from auto downloading updates.

You're competitive on a 2MB/s connection? :P

Anyways, like I said, you can set your connect as "metered" and Windows instead of going through the hassle of reinstalling. It won't auto download updates until you say so.

 

How To:

Opening Settings

Network & Internet

"Advanced Options" button

"Set connection as Metered"

Solution:

 

Revert back to Win 7, get Win 7 Pro/Ultimate for cheap, go BACK to Windows 10 from that, because now you'll get the Pro version, which lets you control the updates.

 

I had Win 7 HP, bought a 13 dollar Win 8 Pro key one week prior to Win 10 rollout JUST for this reason.

I don't like the fact that I can't select which updates to install and that it tries to update my graphics drivers.

Haven't tried that. Will read through it and try it. Thanks.
