I am intrigued that many folks have not locked out the driver updates why is that ?
Maybe this comment only applied to older laptop (Dell e65xx) and older paranoid users like me, but I have previously had many driver incompatibility problems (nvidia, apt-x blue-tooth drivers, express/sound cards) so want to ensure windows cannot update drivers ad-hoc and want to install them individually after I have established what they are changing.
[the TPM2.0 compatibility with Anniversary, which will enable secure ultra hd playback is presumambly delivered by drivers, so I recognise some may need that]
System restore - If you may need it check it is working - it was off by default in clean install I made and have not yet resolved that in a dual 7/10 boot, 10 images deleted after re-using 7
Yes, can go and do a fresh install instead, if drivers messed (but am only just establishing a 2nd user partition to make sure that such an install can be painless)
Bash : as remarked elsewhere absence of other unix tools awk/sed/perl do make the bash shell less potent than it could be.

Due to a lack of an easy way to reliably do it? even with 3rd party tools that can be undone by updates resulting in automatic driver updates kicking off again until you redo disabling it.
My video AMD drivers were fine on my main PC for the ugrade, that PC of mine was very low on space,(4 GB remaining) I had to move some files to my USB drive for the ugrade to complete.
Ironically my laptop had 800GB left and gave install error on the upgrading part , so I downloaded a USB Media creation version and the install setup on that was corrupt, so trying to upgrade through Windows Update again on my laptop;
I will make another fresh Media Creation version on USB again later, got to love PCs lol when things goes wrong, anyway it won't be the first time or the last.
One thing I do hate is Windows10 upgrades always enables fast Startup, so had to disable that again.

So if the update changes your apps does it not tell you anywhere? For some reason it chose to do away with MSI Afterburner, it's still listed in the start menu but not in the task manager of start up items so am wondering what else it chose to do like this?
after the update i noticed MS reverted the graphic driver to 16.3 so i had to reinstall 16.7.3 driver
Just checked mine, it's still 16.7.3.
thats odd why my reverted to 16.3
Noticed one curiosity last night with Samsung Magician post update.
Doesn't recognise an 850 Pro as being enabled for AHCI despite it being right in the bios, and TRIM and NCQ enabled in other programs.
Suspect it's just a Magician issue as it's hardly the first time that piece of software gets the blame with regard to this, though I never saw it before. Anyone else seeing similar ?

.If you have PRO, you can disable it with group policy (gpedit.msc). If not, it can probably be done via the registry. Google it. 
edit: I googled it for you.

Very weird, on mine it asked me which one I wanted turned on, ie Bitdefender TS 2016 or Defender, I went with Bitdefender and it has been fine since, mine is pro version for 10.

Only via unsupported methods - killing it and the scheduled task usually does it though may get reset in a future update. Not a problem for me as I leave it running anyhow but yet another symptom of the direction MS is taking.
mines off as am using Kaspersky Total Security 2017
