Windows 10 update really pissing me off. It's always force me to update, can't change update time, the "not right now" is not working so i have to click the "restart now" button. This annoyed me. I have important powerpoint file for school, and then suddenly windows update message appears. I can't do anything but to click "Restart now" button but the powerpoint file is not saved yet. This is stressful. Please do something about this.

We're not affiliated with Microsoft so nothing we can do. What build are you on? If on a newer one you can defer the update and schedule the restart even on the Home edition.
