@liquidmagma Why would you want to stop updates?

cause sometimes you dont have time for updates. like when a lightning storm starts you dont have time for windows 10-30min updates.

@liquidmagma Idk it never really took more than 2-4 minutes unless we are talking about a really big update. 

I don't really fear lightning storms i have a surge protector just in case though.

If the storm get super bad then sure i unplug my stuff but otherwise the chance of lightning damaging my system is really low.

On my laptop whenever i shutdown it is in hibernate. So i have to tell it to install updates since it will never do them that way

See if you can enable hibernate on your PC

 

Hibernate saves the state of your computer to disk. So power is not needed

Refresh the page or if that doesn't work Clear the editor with the little trash bin and then refresh.

You should fear them, and you are very smart to use a surge protector.

for some reason hibernate is no where to be found.

@liquidmagma It's in the main switch where you turn off your pc. It's the top one.

jeez 5-10 min after riding a bike super fast and still shaking like i have the disease that makes your hand shake(my hands shake only a tini bit but enough to be annoying to use the pc) .

Open the command prompt by right clicking your windows icon in the bottom left. From there make sure to select the one that runs it as Administrator

in it type: powercfg.exe /hibernate on

That should enable it.

@liquidmagma Just hit the windows key on your keyboard and type powercfg in the search bar.

Its an option to also load the kernel into a file and push it into your RAM when you startup. Makes it faster since it doesnt have to start the kernel.

Just enable it and see if it works correctly.

then type power in windows search and click on ''power options''. then ''choose what the power buttons do. then ''change settings that are currently unavabile''. then select the ''hibernate''. then click on ''save changes''. voila done.

I always do this, open command prompt, type : 

shutdown -s -t 1

it always works for me, at least

Probably because something got corrupted. I meant updating without incidents like that.
