oh sure......they will "fix" other things and then break a thousand other things. Typical Microsoft garbage. Hell the last version of Windows 10 still insists that I have an i7 3770k....which I do NOT....I have an i5 7600K. Reported it to M$ and they will not confirm the bug.
If it wasn't for gaming I would erase Windows forever.

Software has gotten so big and complex it's inevitable that it contains bugs. There's no perfection here.

It's just an inherent part of programming people forget that humans aren't perfect and expecting perfection is ignorant. You tend to spend more time debugging than you do actually writing code.
I bought it. It's mine now and I would be extremely happy if they would allow me to choose which updates to install...
And yes, I also keep it on my PC for gaming only.

Nope. It's also still their's. They are allowed to update it..

Then disable the update service.
But that's a terrible decision to make. Updates are good for your computer.
You could also run W7 or 8.1 if you don't like the OS as a service model. Then you can have more fine-grained control, though you'll miss out on Dx12 and input latency improvements.

It's not software as a service yet, it's still a perpetual licence which means that I do own my copy. Disabling the update service doesn't work in windows 10 by the way it's re-enabling itself...
I don't mind the security and performance updates, their pathetic attempts at redesigning features is what I loathe.

You can disable the update service. I haven't updated since it came out until I re-enabled it for the April update.

Ahem, you aren't doing it the right way then.
If you disable updates via GPEDIT (do a run command for GPEDIT.msc - if you are on window10 home you need to enable GPEDIT.msc just google it)
Once in GPEDIT.msc you go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Click on the folder Windows Update > look at the pane on the right and change these following items to what my image shows. Done, no more updates EVER.
You do this at your own risk, I take no responsibility, yada yada yada
If you want to reenable updates then just change all of those setting back to "not congfigured" and you should all set. If for some reason that still doesn't let you update once they are set to not configured and you restart your computer then you need to just download the windows update assistant and run it, that should update the pc manually and correct that problem (this is how i fixed mine after the above occured, of course I had not updated in....2 years? ish).

No. You never bought the software. You bought a licence to use the software.

Not a critical thing but it would be nice if they added more stuff for game optimisation via their game mode
