I hardly ever use Windows 10, but when I do, I always run it in a VirtualBox machine even through I have a second SSD in my laptop with Windows 10 as an alternate boot drive.

I myself delay Windows 10 security updates for 30 days and feature updates for 365 days -- the maximum that Windows 10 Pro will allow me to do.? Every 29 or 30 days, I manually update Windows 10 with the latest patches and then I save that virtual machine with a time stamp so I know the next time that I need to update it.? Then I blow out everything after each use back to when I did the last update.? That way I don't have to worry about Windows 10 updating when I use it or getting malware during a session because it all gets destroyed after each use.

If I forget to update it in time and I need to use it, I block Windows 10 from the Internet either by disabling the Network Adapter and deleting the DNS servers.? That way I don't have to worry about it updating while I am working with it.

But for the most part, when I still use Windows, it is for Crestron software and until I cannot, I run it under a Windows 7 VM.? I even run some Crestron software under Window XP VM yet for some features that Crestron has removed over the years and because Crestron software used to be more lean and fast years ago.

For everything else such as email, internet browsing, documentation, and etc, well I do that under my host Linux machine which I update several times a week and it usually takes less than a minute to update.
