I also found a simple workaround for the time being. I mark books manually, with a custom value.


Long story
Spoiler:
As tempting as that update may be, and considering how many services drop support for Windows 8.1, sometimes leaving broken apps behind (iTunes…), I have a bad history with Windows 10. I had it for a while in the past because it installed itself on my machine after I left the room for a couple of minutes. As it quickly turned out, that new Windows ran many forced and troublesome processes, half of them in the background and without my knowledge, for example downloading things. Just thinking about it takes me back to the times of the forever-in-my-heart internet connection of 60 kb/s download. I couldn't even load Google page, let alone download studying materials, because Windows 10 was always downloading something in the background, and obviously couldn't finish it with such a poor download speed. After a few years my laptop broke and I had to reset it to the factory settings, which took me back to Windows 8.1, with which I have stayed to this day. The forced update and intrusive policy of Windows 10 left a lasting bad taste.

If anyone made it to this point, thank you for reading through this tragic event of my life
You can turn off the services you don't need or want. That would solve the problem. I've never had a problem of Windows 10 eating all the bandwidth and that's with a slow 15-20meg download speed. That was before we had full fibre. I don't have auto updates turned on for the Microsoft store or for Windows Updates. Sure, Windows will go and check, but that's it.

None of that's relevant/valid as it's all about Windows 11. This is about Windows 10.

Jon must work for the hardware vendors as he is always pushing the version that require the latest expensive stuff.

Many older accessories do not have W1x drivers (or what is out there is way crippled from the version they use with the old OS)

Also, many of our members are Seniors, that may not be flexible enough to keep up with ever changing UI.

And yet Jon refuses to replace his SP2 with a machine that will run Win11.
