You can prevent Win 10 from automatically update / reboot.
Just Google this and get the instructions from "How to Geek". Alternatively, ditch Windows and get Linux.
I wouldn't agree with you about Linux, Cyberyacht. While it gives the user a lot of control, in its basic form, it's quite intuitive. I've started to use Ubuntu 16.04 and it's fantastic. It doesn't carry the baggage of Windows or hassle you with unwanted updates. You don't have to use the power it has on offer.

i left my laptop running last night to update the sat nav and it ran the auto update too. No internet connection so I took it to the shop and nice man cracked it by reloading the drivers. Another customer came in to collect him and his network card had needed replacing. Nice man doesn't charge if he can fix in under 30 mins. Good business practice I say! He advised reloadingWindows 7 which doesn't appeal to me much. This laptop came with 8.1 so I guess I would need to pay to get win7 back?

Win10 did a major update a few days ago and also installed the annoying software Cortana (I thought that was an old car).
Google chrome is often having trouble with Win10 so I now use Firefox a lot more.
Despite its problems it is better than Win8 for none touch screen laptops IMHO.

When it comes to computers I'm probably better off with an etch a sketch.
Since upgrading to windows 10, I've had nothing but problems, having to boot up a few times before it runs correctly.
Sometimes it doesn't pick up the Internet, sometimes the wireless mouse and keyboard.
Had to boot it up 5 times this morning, will be booting it out of the window shortly.
