Windows 10 complete privacy guide

Thank you for posting as a reminder. I already had pretty much of that stuff done..

Today was the first time in a month I turned on my machine with win10. Automatic updates, great, I forgot to turn that off (more like assumed my settings from win7 carried over.... well, an assumption....).

Started looking into that, and apparently, mother microslop has decided that forced updates is the right thing to do now and "knows what is best for me".....

But, there seems to be some work arounds going on. For computers that are connected via wireless, one can set the connection to "metered connection" under wifi settings. That will prevent automatic updates.

There is also a "temporary" hide update option at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930
