Windows 10 as a 'service' is updated regularly and Microsoft recommends users to allow Windows to automatically install new updates as they are released. There are occasions, however, when you don't want to install an update due to fear of reported critical bugs or compatibility issues.

For example, just recently Microsoft pulled the KB4524244 update because of freezes, boot problems, and installation issues. A recent Windows 10 KB4532693 update is also causing issues with users losing their profiles, being logged into the wrong one, and in some cases losing data.
