[QUOTE="Cordraconis, post: 1226848, member: 159447"] Also on a sidenote with your update recommendations: to block the *CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED CENSORED!!!* mandatory windows update "feature" in Windows 10 and Server 2016, I discovered that if you put a fake proxy server in the Internet Settings on the Control Panel, windows will not connect to the Windows Update servers and this will not bug you with mandatory updates and reboots (on a server for **** sake!!!) Edit: I use Portable Applications, (Firefox) and they work normally, so they don't use the windows supplied proxy server unless you manually add it. I cannot vouch for Internet Explorer and Edge. I discovered this when I accidently took down my VM with Squid on it and my GFs Win10 laptop HAD to update+reboot but the server didn't ... Also Portable Update couldn't connect to the windows update servers, so I started digging... I'll still have to confirm, but this might be a lifesaver in some cases. Like staring with some collegues for 45minutes to a beamer watching a laptop updating when you have a presentation... I felt deeply sorry for the guy, and enraged at win 10. Anyway, when doing The Solutor 's post, you might want to try this right before... [/QUOTE]
