Not Happy With W10 Updates!! GRRR

[holdum333]

Hi There! Every thing has been going well until tonight. I was on the internet and on this forum,when I lost my internet Wi-Fi connection. A W10 update knocked me off of the internet. It took me a hour to figure out how to fix this problem and I'm not a happy camper at this moment with MS. How do I know it was MS, because I'm a big believer in the Reliability monitor. The attached screen shot will prove that I'm right. I know the exact time I lost my connection and the Reliability Monitor confirms it.

Time to get your XXXX together MS. Time to give me; a W10 Home owner a choice, if I want your damn updates or not. I'm back on the internet and all is good, but I'm still upset about all this!. I run a NETGEAR AC1750 WiFi Cable Modem Router for all you Geeks reading this thread! It will really be interesting to see how many techs reply to my thread!

All replies are welcome on my threads. Just like they always are!

 Hey MS! What if I was a senior and didn't know how to fix my internet connection. It wasn't that easy to fix my issue. I had to uninstall my internet adapter. Unplug the power to the router a couple of times. I had to inter my security Key to my router and basically set up my router again .To be honest; I was so angry, I forgot a lot of things that I had to do, but all is well now, but your are on my suck list tonight Microsoft. LMAO

This was all because you updated my driver without my permission. That's pretty sad Microsoft!

I would like decide when I need to update my internet driver if that's OK with you MS. LMAO  If it ain't broke, please do not fix it for me MS. LOL. I will handle that if you don't mind!

Hi @ACE Sorry friend I missed your post. For some reason I wasn't notified when you posted. I checked your link and that won't work on the anniversary version! Thanks for your post!

I have Pro version and I still don't see how to do that. You can disable Windows Update but I don't think that is what you are looking for.
