You can only delay the update for so long, so be sure to backup all your stuff before it attempts to update. See if your settings allow you to schedule the update. Windows 10 Pro allows you to, but I'm not sure if you can do it on Windows 10 Home.

I wish MS would not force people to update, but it does. I understand the rationale but it tends to piss people off. Good to see you SwissTony!
