I know you can’t in home edition. But home edition is for ordinary user. Which is why updates can’t be disabled. Because if you don’t have enough experience or knowledge, you can’t easily handle the situation when OS crashes or some unexpected trouble comes from the dark side of the force. It may be easy to you. With updates always enabled Microsoft can promise the most consistent experience as much as they can provide (at least they think so).
If updates cause new troubles, that’s the different situation which is really bad. If you’re experienced user and can’t choose which updates to install, that’s another situation which is not good.

Security updates to Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials (this one is for Windows 7) are the same. I’m downloading them manually. Because I have several PCs and don’t want them to waste my bandwidth.

It’s not just Home edition. I have one Windows 10 PC in the house, it’s 10 Pro, and just like home can only defer updates, not disable. And then there’s whole, we’re not going to tell you what these updates are deal… Nope. Not for me. I’ll be sticking to my Linux boxes.

As for those bringing up SteamOS, the only thing closed about it is Steam itself. Everything else is built from open source. Valve is also taking contributions from the community, which couldn’t be done without being open. Comparing SteamOS only shows ignorance of what SteamOS is and how it’s built.

@Tim, you make good arguments, but when can we Linux users finally become the “first-class members of the family” we were promised? Seems we’re more the red-headed step-children…
