How To Turn Off Windows Update In Windows 10? Here Are 5 Easy Ways
I've tried a bunch of these and none of them seem to be there in my OS. This is a HP PC and I suspect they got their fingers into the OS.

I'm also having a hard time finding out how to stop requiring my pin every time it reboots.
Hello @MamaBear,

Yeah, that's what I see here - no longer available. I don't want to do semi-annual, I just want to be notified and asked permission. It's the polite thing to do. I wouldn't go to Bill Gates' house and start modifying it with upgrades, I'd ask if he wanted them.
SO unless Bill Gates OWNS my PC ( scary thought! ), I want Microsoft to ask permission before messing with my OS. I've seen PC's trashed by upgrades. My old Windows 7 PC was trashed when I did the "free" Windows 10 upgrade, and it cost me to buy a new one!
Hello MamaBear....... how are the baby bears

Whilst you could set your PC to automatically log in to the same account, you would lose the security.I'm also having a hard time finding out how to stop requiring my pin every time it reboots.
Why are you restarting so often? Shouldn't be needed unless making a significant change.

You wish to be notified of Windows Updates.
If you have Win 10 Pro, you can set updates to 'Notify' in Group Policy.
That means you get a notification, then can proceed with it at your convenience.
If the issue relates to restarts, there are tutorials related to that that may help.

As to stopping WU, this has been discussed many many times on tenforums- a little searching might offer
older Sledghammer (free) - which I still use - someone said this had caused one person an issue in 1 thread. I have a PC on 1903.
Matthew Wai's tutorial on using scripts - which Paul Black mentioned.
Another tutorial on stopping WU.
Unless you use Windows 10 without a license, Microsoft does not need your permission as per the license terms: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Uset...10_English.htm
Scroll down to "6. Updates."
They have every right to mess up your OS without any additional notice.
