1607 anniversary update

So I am going to wait until MS has it fully baked.  There is no pressing need to install it.
 
If you have Windows 10 Pro, you can extend the feature upgrade deferral out to 8 months using gpedit.msc as follows:

after 22 hours and the last 8 @ 91% I pulled the plug. now it is trying to restore itself, then the 1607 game will start again - really glad this is an office PC and not any of my DAWs

take control . . . they can't force it on you, and you can 'defer' it for as long as you want. i shut down the updates on all my pc's at 1511 or whatever it was, the one before the original anniversary update, and it only takes a couple of mouse clicks, no registry hacking or other voodoo involved, and it works on home versions as well as pro etc.
 
right click start button - control panel - administrative tools - services - scroll down to windows update - right click and disable, you will not hear from windows update again until if and when you choose.
 
i know this may not be acceptable to those who think you need to keep windows up to date constantly, and a lot of posts in reply to problems here tell the op to ensure windows is completely up to date in an almost automatic knee jerk type of response, but i have never bothered with doing that under any windows version, mostly updating until a some random landmark, a major service pack update or something, eg sp3 for xp, sp1 for windows 7, and then not letting windows update again, been doing this since windows 95 and have never had any issues, have never had a problem which required keeping windows update current, or was solved by a windows update, so i definitely do not agree with the need to keep windows up to date . . . however your mileage may very, but that is my experience and i'm not changing anytime soon unless i find otherwise, but thus far it is not necessary. 
 
that's my experience, and as i said ymmv, whatever works for the individual is the right way, whichever way that may be.

But I will add that if you never install security updates, it's recommended to stay disconnected from the net. Download any offline installers needed and scan any new files on another PC before loading them onto your DAW.
 
Another thing to consider now, is the development life-cycle for Sonar Platinum.  It seems that is very tightly wrapped with Windows API's & programming libraries.  With the rolling updates to Sonar, I would imagine that mainstream product testing would focus priority on the current version of Windows at the time of development.  Windows 10 has now become a rolling target as well.  Perhaps something else to consider is keeping these two in sync for code compatibility reasons?

This morning I turn on my PC only to find that Windows decided to install the Anniversary edition AGAIN!.
 
Apparently, resistance IS futile.
