Hi ThrashZone,
What you said is pretty well a summary of this whole thread. Yes, Windows 10 DOES load that 'update' (which is no longer an 'update' in Windows 10, it's built in) and no, you can not pick and choose what to install.
Windows 10's 'Windows Update' completely sucks, too. It checks for updates and if there are any, they get installed. It's no longer broken into 'Important', 'Critical', etc.
Like I said, it's as simple as this, it checks for updates and automatically downloads and installs each and every one that is available.
There are very, very few options regarding Windows 10's 'Windows Updates':
1) Notify you if an update requires a restart,
2) Restart automatically,
-or-
3) Defer upgrades altogether.
That's it.
Here's the happy info regarding what happens if you DARE to question Microsoft's decision to send you what you need, not let you choose what you think you need:
"Some Windows 10 editions let you defer upgrades to your PC. When you defer upgrades, new Windows features won’t be downloaded or installed for several months. Deferring upgrades doesn’t affect security updates. Note that deferring upgrades will prevent you from getting the latest Windows features as soon as they’re available."
So, a pretty dire warning that you had BETTER NOT change the default settings of Windows Update unless you want to miss out on any and all cool new things Redmond packs into Windows 10.
