I will never keep updates turned on ever again. I'm done with Microsoft, they broke my trust too many times in 2016. I didn't know what the fuck happened and troubleshooted it for hours before I realized that yep, Microsoft fucked me over. Upon rollback and system restore, I instantly shut down updates permanently to see if that would fix the problem and blocked the upgrade they were trying to give me. That fixed it.

Advice: keep updates shut down, its just not worth it unless its something like a "service pack" or something.
There are no "service packs" anymore. The 8/3 update was basically the closest you will get to one with windows 10 though. Sucks you got 1 bad update and now shun off updates. Windows 7 ran great for me for like 5 years, Windows 8.1 ran great for me for over a year and Windows 10 has been going strong for 2 months now. There are always precautions you can make and things to change that will make your experience better and easier. Sometimes it takes a little work on your part though.
