   What do you recommend? Turn off updates completely?

     Only a **** would stop updating their PC.
     So you can:
     1 – Live with it.
     2 – Tweak it.
     3 – or
     Mint
     Debian
     Ubuntu
     openSUSE
     elementary
     Manjaro
     Fedora
     Zorin
     CentOS
     Arch
     deepin
     Ubuntu MATE
     PCLinuxOS
     Mageia
     Antergos
     Slackware
     etc…

     Install Security-only updates. Remember, these are not cumulative and you have to install them manually (you won’t find them in WU), so you have to download and install each one by one, starting from October:

   I got so annoyed with Cortana running all the time I blocked it from accessing the internet (just for spite).
   Can this diagnostic program be blocked by the firewall?
