Proud to be one of them. I tried to disable the job that runs windows update, they said I don't have permission, so I switched to Ubuntu on every single computer except the one that runs VR games.

As a bonus, as an enthusiast for artificial intelligence stuff, more programs run on Linux than they do on Windows

On the VR PC you may find O&O ShutUp 10. It has a collection of settings for privacy and generally control over your PC that microsoft didn't make really accessible.

Powershell as admin then type set-service wuauserv -startuptype manual; stop-service wuauserv

This will disable the windows update service. If you do want to run updates again (and you should do that regularly), just type start-service wuauserv and use the windows update page in settings.

Linux is still way better though.
