No, you'll take it because you want to play gaymes

block all incoming/outgoing traffic in firewall and add an 'allow' exception for every program that need access.
I use this on win10 and nothing works/everything is broken except firefox and youtube-dl bc those were allowed, can't say for sure that windows respects the firewall rules but so far (7 months) i haven't seen a single automatic update.

Do you have Windows 10? Is it Enterprise edition?

Anything other than Enterprise/Education forces updates regardless of what you choose. Microsoft controls the source code, you can't make any modifications they don't want you to.

ehhhh

Do you plan on reverse engineering the Windows kernel?

>>60787544
no, but a number of other people have made progress at it and published their findings. I don't think it's reasonable to say that I "can't," but it's pretty fair to say that I won't bother.

>>60787580
There's little value in reverse engineering the kernel itself. The best use of time would be reverse engineering certain features (i.e. directx) to port them to other OS's.

If you port directx to other OSs then Windows' justification is gone. All the games would be available cross-platform. No more lock-in.

You don't use windows, windows uses you

Do you really believe your safe with your enterprise edition?
