This doesn't work for me.

I selected the only other option available (instead of auto install, and btw, there is no SAVE tab in that window) which is Notify To Restart. I still get up in the morning and Windows has either restarted, or has closed all my programs. This is a deal breaker for me, since I typically leave my audio/video editing software open days on end (working on long projects, etc) or even needing to keep my online game on all the time to get attendance points, since I've paid for the game.

This, if not solved REALLY QUICK will make me go back to Windows 7.

This also doesn't work as in W10, there is no "windows updates" option that I can find under control panel.  My W7 machine has it, but now my W10 does not.  I've searched everywhere and I come up with all the other security settings possible, but no update control.

My latest update hosed up my Office products and the performance of my laptop. I had to revert to the previous restore point.

I am positive that background download and install of Updates totally trashed my Win 10 pro.  During routine browsing I had a memory overload with multiple updates, failed, and Windows Defender broke beyond repair, plus other problems resulting.  I have had to do a total reinstall.

I really need the ability to control when Windows downloads and installs updates as all previous versions of Windows.  I bought Pro because I understood this feature was available in it but I am unable to find the settings.

Control of Updates is essential to many users who do not just use windows for web browsing and word processing.

you understand incorrectly.

this is where the language difference comes into play.  

Microsoft, PLEASE put money into resources for your customers!

resources from the same country / mothertongue.  

or these are simply exercises in frustration and HORRID PR.

There is no reference to upgrade in the original post, please reread and then reply again!
