Why is my Windows 7 updating when I have it set not to?

Critical updates will always install. If you don't want them, for whatever reason, your best shot would be to stop the service.

That's always been the case for select updates for Windows Update itself. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

It depends what One means by always.

The Forced partial Updales was imposed on Win 7 short period of time after Win 10 was released.

I stumble at times on Win 7 installations that were Not Updated after Aug. of 2015, on them No Updates means NO Updates.

I read the telemetry crap is baked into the cumulative november update. Is that true?
