Windows 10 Pro user at work, mixed MacOS / Windows / Lubuntu at home.

I've been on my work Windows 10 PC for 60+hrs this week, and about the same each of the past four weeks, and five to six days out of seven the past couple years.

And never had it force-update.

You can bet the moment I took this computer home (I won't, but humour me) and tried to watch a movie it would force-update, crash, refuse to boot, and need a full reinstall.



Maybe your employer is running their own update server with their own update policies? If only at-home pro users could do that.


Well short of running your own home server and AD, you can join it to Azure AD and try Intune? Haven't used Intune to control patching myself yet.


Actually domain joined Windows machines tend to keep their state when they can't see their domain controller. You would probably find, depending on config, that updates stop all together.


Ah, I see. I’ll check.
