    No.

    A notification, in the tray and elsewhere across the OS, with a short description like “Updates are crucial to the security of you and your device, they also provide the freshest experience.” would get the point across. What would be even better is if there was a one-click NQA button to initiate the update, perhaps even included on the notification.

      Those notifications have existed for years. People don’t give a shit.

      All you have to do is restart your computer every so often and nothing will be forced.

      The problem is Microsoft have abused it. Now they claim an update is for security, but instead it just reverts settings to promote their other products.
