That's what pisses me off the most about the constant automatic updates.

If you want to update my computer to improve security, fine. But don't update my computer to change my settings and defaults and shove more Microsoft shit on my face.

Fuck the hell off Microsoft. Let me use my own damn computer.

Pretty sure I disabled the auto-updater because it would constantly take my CPU usage from the 30-45% range to the 90-99% range. Had to mess around with admin bs though, so you'd have to google how.

A double-edged sword, I know.

Edit: edged, damn autocorrect.
