You can disable driver updates and only get the Microsoft updates. This actually reminded to check my chipset drivers, and everything is way out of date. Definitely not being forced on me through Windows 10. But then I'm not seeing those chipset drivers as an optional or recommended update like I would with early versions of Windows. It's all or nothing. The degree of user control is much less than it used to be, because apparently us users screw things up more often than we fix them.
