Re: Windows 10 update problem?
If your computer runs an old enough Intel processor with integrated graphics under 64 bit, you should try the parameters /j3d.version=1.5.2 /os.arch=x86 of the installer explained here.

Re: Windows 10 update problem?
Hi,
I would like to suggest that it is completely useless in most cases trying to stop Windows10 updates, people who stopped them early enough seem to have managed but of course new updates means more counter measures to circumvent the hacks you have implemented which worked on an earlier enough "version" of windows10 but will not work now, its like trying to use out of date virus software when the computer viruses have evolved to outwit the old virus definitions.
I tried most hacks featured on a forum which was very active on this subject but as far as I know without exception all of the hacks eventually failed.
If you shut one door another will open a few months later - its like trying to beat the designer of an immersive maze or puzzle when they know where all the trap doors are and you don't.
I even tried a firewall approach blocking all known Microsoft severs but guess what - they just add more servers which meant I would be constantly updating my list of banned servers.
I ranted and raved like the rest for about one year and then I did actually find a solution - the only one I believe that actually works.
I moved over to LINUX and I have been loving it ever since, finally I have control over my machine again and I say what gets updated or not.
Since moving to Linux nothing has broken on my machine - the windows updates in contrast were constantly breaking drivers which rendered my top end CADCAM software useless until I spent a few hours restoring everything as it should be. I have found good quality alternatives (free) for almost everything I used to do previously.
My advice dont waste your energy fighting the system, life is just too short, its better to decide to live with it or migrate, I migrated but that will not be the best choice for everyone.
I wish I had moved to Linux earlier and saved myself a lot of stress and frustration.
I still have a windows partition on my machine for when I absolutely need to use software only available on Windows10 but I have disabled all Wifi accounts on the windows partition so that there is zero internet connection and I take care never to have the machine plugged in directly to ethernet when I am using windows10. Everything I do online I do on Linux. As far as I know my windows machine partition is now indeed frozen in time but at the cost of zero internet connectivity - I do most things including online activity on Linux.
