I have a machine with a warm boot issue, and Windows 10 installed on it. That issue being when updates are applied and the OS attempts to reboot itself it fails. If I manually boot it is fine.....fix for this at the machine/source of the problem, is apparently unsupported.

Due to this I need to prevent Windows 10 from OS updates (not Windows Updates because I have disabled them both in UI and Registry), however when there is a Windows OS Update, this doesn't seem to prevent that from happening. Through the UI mechanisms you can schedule for later, wait an hour, etc but there no option where the user can simply elect to not install the update.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening, sort of just not using pc?

Are you running the Pro or Home edition? I think the following is available in Pro, but may not be in Home edition.

Settings / Update & Security / Windows Update / Advanced Options / [X] Defer Upgrades

With most editions of Windows 10, ultimate control over the machine lies not with the owner, but exclusivly with Microsoft.

This implies, that there is no way to stop Microsoft from doing whatever pleases them on your Computer, including installing whatever Software they want, unless you choose to permanently disconnect from their C&C servers, i.e. mostly disconnect from the Internet.

There exist a few hacks to mitigate this as much as possible, but none are reliable and most do not survive OS (i.e. built-in spyware) "updates".
