Disabling updates is the worst possible solution. Just click no on the windows 20 upgrade dialogue (or just upgrade, it's pretty good).

Refusing to patch your system because of this is ridiculous (and yes some blame does lie with MS For pushing people to this)

If so, more blame lies at the feet of those that make it the only solution.

Would that it were so simple. But Microsoft chose to mean "yes" by the "close this [annoying] window" button, with Windows 10; who knows what they'll come up with for Windows 20.

For you, sure. Some people like to make their own choices.

> Refusing to patch

For most people that disabled updates, it wasn't a "refusal to patch", so much as a (read: the only) relief from annoyance.
