The new Windows looks great! But it's risky for us to do the update as many software and drivers may stop working for some time.
As always, we need to be patient and wait for the updates. I think that the most important ones will be done faster. In my case, Cubase Pro and my audio interface drivers. -------------------- My lessons

I'm still on win7 stuff that needs minimum win 10 isn't still a deal breaker for me but if I were to make a new machine today,2025 is a good time period for win 10 as it will be a stable platform given the updates will be rare. My experience with win 10 has been very positive. -------------------- My lessons

No doubt I'll be the impatient one as usual and install it ASAP and then wish I hadn't

I'm still on (mac os) Catalina and it's SUPER stable. Can one not turn off auto updates with Big Sur?

Don't know about Mac but Windows 10 allows you to pause for 30 days and then it does an update that you can't stop unless you disconnect from the www forever.

It seems you can still select whether you want to auto enable updates or not ... https://www.howtoisolve.com/how-to-disable-...ricks-and-apps/
Short version; de-select auto update from the system prefs>software update in settings. *Same as it's always been, even for the current Big Sur and the upcoming Monterey. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Im glad to hear it. I was not a fan of the idea of forced updates.
It may have been this. It's the "back ground" updates that install automatically. But you can TURN IT OFF if you want. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207005 It seems you can still select whether you want to auto enable updates or not ... https://www.howtoisolve.com/how-to-disable-...ricks-and-apps/

If you have all the updates off (de-selected) you will still get notifications that there are updates available and there will still be numeric indicator of how many updates are available but noting will download and install until you tell it to.
Some folks hate seeing that little red 1 by the 'software update' icon in their prefs You need to learn to disregard it This post has been edited by klasaine: Oct 7 2021, 02:21 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I'm a Mac guy and I don't update until I absolutely have to. I think I'm 2 behind currently.

Of course, I keep an SSD external with a full copy of my boot drive. I learned this one the hard way as well. It's crucial imho to keep a full bootable copy (not a time machine backup) of ones primary boot drive. Do you use any software like Disk Drill to clone your boot drive? -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
