I just got a giant warning popup from Parallels (virtualization software) on MacOS that I need to update Parallels before upgrading any Windows guest OSs to Windows 10 Creator's Update. The update claims to fix an issue where Windows won't boot after updating. So, maybe one would want to block the update for reasons such as this? Not sure...it was easy enough for me to stop and update Parallels first, but maybe others have reasons for not doing so.

My usual reason for delaying is major deadlines where I can't (won't) take the risk of this update botching my machine.

> I updated mine without any hassle.

> I had to reconfigure my custom context menu and explorer shortcuts though

Maybe this is why

Well, this is easy to do using WinAero[1] software and I didn't really think of it as a "hassle".

I had to do zero work and didn't need to download any software when I didn't update.

Because Windows updates break things sometimes?

Also they have been known to reset a shit load of settings and apps (did it to me, twice).
