    I know this has been talked about here. I'm not sure if an update was posted anywhere, but I figured with the release yesterday, this is worthwhile for people to know if they are searching.

    Microsoft had been forcing updates which was creating issues particularly with drivers. They backtracked on that a bit and are at least allowing you to uninstall the update and then hide it so it blocks it from installing again.

    To hide it and block it from reinstalling you must download the 'troubleshooter'. rolleyes

    LOL Yeah, well, now it has its own spot.

    (I figured someone had, but had seen it mentioned a couple of times and figured this was easier to find)
