From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you're going that way, Windows is not going to suddenly start updating when you simply boot it. You have to willingly click "Update and Shutdown/Restart" instead of "Shutdown/Restart", assuming your computer even finished downloading the update.
I have a Windows 10 partition on a second machine. I have disabled automatic updates in the options and I never click "Update at restart" or anything. Yet, whenever I need to boot into Windows it decides to automatically start updating itself.
I guess that I use it infrequently so there are always updates available, but it shouldn't force them on me when I've specifically disabled them.
Also, when you choose either of the update or restart/shutdown options, it actually tries to restart, (for me) always boots back into linux because that's my default. When I'd eventually boot back into Windows, it just continues installing the update I'd long forgotten about.
Pretty happy to be rid of that mess entirely now.
