All else fails go back to Windows 7.


That's what I did. Windows 10 sucks.

just disable windows update, it's just a couple of clicks regardless of if you have home or pro version, mine has been disabled for well over 3 months and i don't have any issues, ironically a lot of people who do stay up to date seem to be suffering constant issues. ymmv


Which version windows 10 do you have?
What are steps for this in the free upgrade windows 10 version?
Seems many say this can't be disabled in the base 10 version.
Thanks.

i have 3 desktops and 2 laptops with a mixture of windows 10 pro and windows 10 home, the version doesn't matter, never has, it works for all. (i have both free upgrade and commercial versions)
 
control panel/administrative tools/services/scroll down to 'windows update, right click and disable.
 
if and when you want to re enable updates just enable it again. i believe there are little utilities available now to do this and various other things, but i prefer not to install that kind of stuff, and it doesn't take much effort to do it the way described. i have had updates disabled for over 3 months now, still on version 1511 with zero issues, remained on a much earlier version for 8+ months way back with no issues. i don't intend on re enabling updates, unless of course something happens that makes it necessary, but in my experience that isn't likely, i have never come across such a situation in the past.

Thanks Grim.  I'll try that but it's sort of "after the fact".

Some don't recommend disabling it completely. If you're using wifi you can go to Settings > WiFi, click on your connection and set Metered connection to ON.

that will only work for so long, and when that time is up, update you will.
 
disabling allows you to take control, update if and when you choose permanently

OK Here's a heads up on my situation. Scott Garrigus asked if this not being able to "save as" was only in IE and it is. So, it may not be my PC, Windows 10 or the moon phase! More later, if I get a chance to explore more.
I wish I knew as much about being online, PC's and Windows, as I do about music!

Try Opera or Firefox. I don't believe Edge is ready for prime time yet.

I have Firefox as an alternate. I haven't explored Opera, yet. No interest in Edge....
My wife uses Chrome (?)
