Windows 10 Update Manager


The Windows 10 Update Manager by David Xanatos re-implements the missed Windows 7/8 Control Panel and can stop Windows 10 updates. Forced updates of Windows 10 are probably the biggest pet peeve of the Operating System because there is no way to remove problematic updates. Many PC's can suffer bugs and crashes from specific updates, and in some cases, have Windows 10 be rendered unusable. Simply install and enjoy. Don't forget to enter safe mode if removing an update is required in a unbootable PC!
