might be dumb, but I just uninstalled a bunch of updates going back several months and then disabled updates. OS doesn't know about win10 and it never will.

This is what happens when an indian is in charge.

I removed the Windows 10 update, I haven't seen anything about Windows 10 since.

My favorite bit about linux gaming is that damn nearly everything on GOG is 100% supported under wine - just download from the website, and launch with wine and you're in business.

A standard practice for IT Pros is to make standard user accounts for, well, the user. These limited accounts allow the user to run applications on the system, surf the web, watch videos, make documents, etc... BUT, they do not allow the user to install programs, make changes to the registry, or install updates.
This type of setup essentially stops MS from installing Windows 10, and while the prompt may be annoying, it will just fail when it attempts to install.
The trick to this setup is to make a new user account on the system, and then only use the admin account to install new programs. Just remember to setup a good password for the admin account, and never give the user administrative privileges.

Standard IT practice, end users never get admin, ever. If a program needs it to run you can
1) throw them out of the building and get something that does not, this is my usual method. 2) have an admin account with a super long and random password and setup a "run as" shortcut. This can be a domain or local acct that is part of your image.
All my home machines are setup like this.

It's sort of the key concept of how security in Linux works. You have to su or sudo in to any console that tries to touch anything outside of /home/~/

I turned off auto updates and haven't seen this shit period. Either people are to stupid to click an easy to find button or i am hallucinating that i still have windows 8...
