Windows 10: How to block Win 11 from updating or another solution for the last 2 forced security...

After each of the past 2 updates the HDMI no longer functions and it is not possible to present a PowerPoint presentation. THIS HAPPENED TO ME BOTH TIMES ON THE DAY OF OR DAY BEFORE A WORKSHOP!!!The ONLY fix that owrked was a complete reset which is a 4 hour process to reinstall all the apps. The next security update BLEW HDMI out AGAIN. This is the kind of stuff that pushes people over the edge of sanity to do insane things.Microsoft is ignoring the problem and the loss of income caused by MS incompetency and indifference to repairing the damage. I cannot afford the continual loss of income

Corporate Security Solution

That made me so facepalm. Some people have absolutely no clue. I hope they don't take you for granted with all this you're doing for them.

SonicWall is a good security product, so Mindweaver's suggestion sounds like a good one and should make for a rather bigger baby step. Let's hope they take it.

 

How to get Win 10 updates without upgrading to Win 11

So my Windows 10 PC has autoloaded Win 11 and is ready to reboot and install.

I don't want Win 11. I don't want to learn a new interface. I don't have time to mess with that. I don't want to put my apps and data at risk. I barely have the space on my SS drive. I hate Microsoft for forcing this down my throat.

How do I:

1. Purge the downloaded Win 11 file so it doesn't install?
   
2. Stop it from re-downloading Win 11 again?
   
3. At the same time, still update Win10 security updates and bug fixes?
   

Is that even possible?
