With Windows 7 it was possible to use the task manager screen to shut down without applying updates (see https://superuser.com/questions/104771/how-to-shut-down-the-computer-without-the-update-on-windows-7 ).  But that did not work for me on Windows 10.

How can I shut down Windows 10 without installing updates.  I might want this because:

 - I need to shut down or reboot quickly
 - The computer is acting funny and that's why I need to reboot (yeah, it's still Windows), and I don't trust running updates at that time.  No point in making a bad problem worse.

My Window 10 shutdown menu reads:

  - Sleep
  - Update and shut down
  - Update and restart

The old Windows 7/8 trick does not work.  New versions of Windows 10 have altered previous workarounds.  Microsoft has lots of feedback on the topic, but has not taken action.  See for example:

    feedback-hub:?contextid=158&feedbackid=1e175952-a19f-4cca-b1fb-d248945e9fe1&form=1&src=2

Or search *"Allow users to defer updates: on shutdown and on startup."* in the Microsoft Feedback Hub (search for "Feedback Hub" in Windows 10).
