For the people not using Linux in the comment section, you can’t skip a Windows update. It’s going to happen no matter what.
I mean I guess you can adjust the registry or whatever but 90% of Windows users aren’t going to do any of that.
I could have done it and I didn’t. I updated and now my cursor is all fucked up.

You can pause Windows updates, although I’m not sure I would suggest it because they are usually patching a baotlad of security vulns.

Not defending Microsoft in any way, just pointing out that the option exists. Of course you will get updates once it unpauses, but maybe another CU down the line won’t break shit.

I’ve tried everything it eventually doesn’t update all on its own regardless of you wanting to do it or not. So I just stop trying to fight it.
