Ah good so I can ask a question: is there a way to turn off forced updates and reboots (reverting back to how it used to be when it would just nag you but never actually invoke the update automatically)?
Next is "current branch" for normal consumers, who are forcibly kept up to date (arguably a good thing, since they don't have an IT department to update their computers for them) http://i.imgur.com/kYkvffQ.png
Third is "current branch for business". Businesses are still required to upgrade, but they get a bit more time to ensure rollouts go smoothly. CBB can delay updates but not indefinitely. http://i.imgur.com/vsejEFC.png
Lastly, Enterprise and Education SKUs have access to the "long term servicing branch" where you can indefinitely delay updates, and/or run your own WSUS update servers. http://i.imgur.com/2JsFq1Y.png
tl;dr yes, but you need to pay for the Enterprise SKU for that privilege.

This reminds me very much of the old, arrogant MS. I fully appreciate "forcibly kept up to date (arguably a good thing, since they don't have an IT department to update their computers for them)" but imo to earn the good citizen award, MS should support a registry edit to give sophisticated users at least a few weeks of a nag screen before a forced update.
I have a computer with hardware that is a couple of years old. The new and improved drivers for Windows 10, which should be compatible with my hardware, work horribly, so I manually installed some older drivers, which work perfectly. However, every once in a while, Windows 10 decides to update my drivers to the new crap drivers, so I have to waste my precious time uninstalling new crap drivers and manually reinstalling good old drivers.
As of yet, I have found no good solution to this problem, if I still want to be able to receive updates for other drivers.
I always have a billion things open and it absolutely infuriates me when I come back to my laptop after a few days of non-use and it has rebooted, losing browser tabs, unsaved changes, etc.
First, you can opt into the bleeding-edge update stream http://i.imgur.com/7gWXLd3.png
