My desktop and laptop are now running win10, which I am struggling with after being comfortable with win7 for many years.I routinely have working documents left open for days at a time while working on them (word and excel).And of course every-time the system decides it needs to update windows it shuts down all those files and saves them as "autosave xyz". Which means I end up with two versions of the same file with different names and I have to go into file manager to clean up the mess.Can I set the update day/time to once per month or so? Then I will put that day/time on my calendar and will know to shut those programs/files down a day before updates.Phone: Samsung S4. Android 5.0.1. VerizonThe status bar at the top of the screen currently has: 4G,signal strength bars, battery percentage, battery icon, and time which stay on all the time. Regardless of what screen I'm in.I want to add the current date to the status bar. How do I do this?Thanks

You can tell Windows that you are on a metered connection and it won’t do the updates. But as a suggestion change the habit of leaving the docs open for days. Can’t help with the Samsung.

You can configure Windows to ask before updating.

"I routinely have working documents left open for days at a time"Interesting. I never leave them open...even for a break...and don't experience auto save except on those rare occasions when the power goes out.

There is no way to add date to status bar. If you press on the status bar it will change to display the date. You can also display the date on the lock screen if desired.

Download a date time widgetBut it probably will be on the screen you select, Not the status barAnd yes you can set the same widget on multiple screensIf you Goto apps, widgetsAnd scroll your screensjYou should find a clock & date widget already on the phoneThat you can place anywhere you want, like the top of a specific screen

Win10 set update day. Samsung S4 add date to top of screen.

You can stop most if not all Windows updates by disabling the Windows Update service. The easiest way to get to services is to type "services" in the search box. Scroll down to Windows Update then right click on it. Select "Properties" then change Startup type to "Disabled".

When you want to do an update, you go through the same steps and change Startup type back to what it was originally. You then go into Settings and check for updates.
