There's a Windows setting to ask your permission before downloading any updates, pretty simple. I'm no Microsoft fan, for the last twenty years I've gone out of my way to avoid Microsoft products whenever possible, but W-10 seems fine. I don't use it much, only on the desktop/server. It initially couldn't find my older Netgear NAS but that was fixed with the first update and no issues since. For good order's sake I should say that I'm so boring that no one spies on me, or if they do my data goes straight into the "other" folder.
