0How to Shutdown Without Updating Windows 10.
Windows has always provided updates in order to give more or better features to its users, or if need to patch up bugs and security risks come up. All that is good, but some people usually have their computer on for most of the time. For example, waiting for over 30 minutes for your PC to update during office hours can be a big inconvenience. There are other times that you might also need to shut down or reboot quickly and updates will only slow this down. Your computer might also be acting funny forcing the need to reboot and it will be a bit risky to run updates at that time. No point in making a bad problem worse.
Windows 10 updates keep your system and the security patches up to date, with occasional feature updates. However, things can really get to your nerves, when Windows start forcing you to update when you want to shut down or restart your PC. Maybe you want to update later, but you have no choice but to click on Update and Shut Down or Update and Restart.
Fortunately, there are a few methods that can help you to shut down your Windows 10 PC without installing the updates. Let’s see how.
In Windows 10, you will get a notification about the update being downloaded and prepared for installation and ask you to restart to apply the updates. You can then choose whether to restart or postpone the updates. The other options for restarting or shutting down your PC include shutting or restarting with updates or shutting or restarting without updates. Those shutdown/restart options are available in all editions of Windows 10, and have been there over a year now since a few builds before November Update version 1511. It’s the nature of the update that determines if the option to shutdown/restart without updating is shown or not. Some updates require an immediate restart, some not.

With the release of Windows 10, Microsoft moved to update and maintenance concept to the principle of WaaS (Windows as a Service) which is based on the principle of SaaS (Software as a Service). With the implementation of this, Microsoft kind of forced Windows Updates to not only be downloaded on the users’ machines but also install them while we shutdown Windows 10 and sometimes even seed them to other users. This seeding concept took off much load from the Microsoft servers that would provide these Windows Updates to the users earlier. Installing these updates can be tedious for the users are it takes a lot of precious time from the users working hours and actually, people criticize this kill of their productivity.
