Windows doesn't do that on mine - I found and used a Registry hack which delays updates till next year.

Risky in theory, but Norton is on the case, so I'm not worried. The main thing for me is that ATM Windows works, so I don't want any changes - particularly not Recall or Copilot. Seems you can't pick and choose as you could on Win 8.1 (in fact my Win 8.1 laptop was never updated, and it worked from 2016 until it died a couple of weeks ago). Some updates have reportedly broken Windows, and I definitely don't want to know about that! When I first got Win 11 I tried installing Photoshop Elements 6, as I like it - somehow this destroyed the system so badly I had to do a factory reset and fiddle with UEFI to make a restore package work!
It did, and it's been okay since. I have not tried that again. I'll manage with GIMP.
