I have a win 10 laptop which is part of my recording setup. I have managed to disable windows update in services and will keep it disabled until i have finished my current projects and done some serious back-ups. I have finally it seems got my desktop win 10 pc back to health, though it involved finding licences and stuff in very odd places and I could have done without all that. Hopefully MS will knock some of the bugs out in the next month or so.
A note of advice. If you have 2 partitions on your drive, say C and D the stuff on the D partition will stay safe even post update apocalypse. Of course external back-ups are better if you have a lot of stuff.

And if you google there is quite a bit of good advice.
And remember back-up…..
