When installing updates that I 'need', do I re-configure (disable entirely) the GWX_control_panel?
For years I have researched and hand selected any updates that MS has offered and hid the unnecessary ones - especially thankful for that practice since I uninstalled the first instance of the nag screen and related Win 10 files approx 5 months ago.
I ask because we have 'Update Tuesday' fast approaching again.

I always apply the .NET and Office updates. I also use Office 2003 (wonder how long that will last) because I like it better. I'm also going to do a survey to see what the experts have found out about the lethality of last month's updates and will post what I find. I expect to be applying some of those, hiding the rest and having a clear deck for update Tuesday this month.
GWX Control Panel only changes settings pertaining to updating to Windows 10. It doesn't change your update settings for other updates. Folks, watch out as Microsoft has already announced that Windows 10 will download itself and at least partially install on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 machines during the first quarter of 2016. This will apply even if you have no interest in Windows 10. Shields up!
