Everyone know why updates really are disabled - pirated Windows. Specifically - pirated Windows with badly written hack that fails after certain updates are installed. Given that how enormous is user base of pirated Windows it is expected really to to see lots of guidelines how to disable Windows Update.

Win10 takes it to the other extreme, where it is impossible to disable it. You can only disable it for Wi-Fi and for each network separately. It is insane really and creates all sorts of problems in some use cases.

PS: another problem - some of the Win10 updates caused dozens of incomprehensible errors in Event Viewer on my PC, now I turned on "defer updates" and hope that delay will help MS figure out problematic patches before they will arrive.
