never had that problem before in my life.

Yeah, neither had I until I watched the device disable itself in real time under Device Manager. Reinstalling the driver did not work. Update and restart magically let it stay enabled.

Why did it do that? No idea, but Occam's Razor says it was probably Microsoft. Non Windows devices were connecting just fine.

not only can you completely stop the updates, you can actually create rules to download specific updates but no forced shit, AND, right, AND, you can disable the background processes that keep on firing off triggers to re-enable the update shit.

this shits all over the internet.

Well aware, but I did not do that on that machine and would simply just force shutdowns without update. Not like it matters trying to explain this to you, because you're obviously a guy who thinks everyone but yourself is a retard and will reply with "PEBKAC" over inexplicable issues.
