Whats happening to Windows PC?

I need to have any idea since 2 of my expensive gaming laptops just stop working after october 2019 update!
I also notice all updates are forced to all windows 10 client and after you have no choice, you end up with a laptop that will not boot up.
Im very frustrated since i just bought a new gaming laptop 5 days ago and after it force restart today due to update it does not function anymore.
It is stucked at "Undoing changes made to your PC" for 8 hours now.
its so much hassle why windows will do such thing forcing update that end up destroying expensive laptops not to mention the files that i need foe my work that i can not access now due to this unexpected /force updates.
Its very frustrating as i tried to ask windows but their signup page keeps on reverting back to home page which adds more frustration in my side.
My only question is how do i go from here?
I have MSI Gaming laptop and im stucked at "Undoing Changes made to PC" screen for 8 agonizing hours and it seems doesn't end there!

    I've had 3x updates for Windows 10 in the past 72hrs that have made my laptop completely unusable (constant windows popping up, resolution of screen changes, screen switches off, laptop becomes locked - all happening over and over). I can delete them and the laptop works fine again, but Microsoft in their "wisdom", have seemingly disabled all options to pause updates for any period of more than 35 days.

    The process of downloading these completely ruinous updates and then manually uninstalling takes upwards of 3hrs, during which my laptop is effectively completely out of order. Its amazing what a company can get away with with a virtual monopoly. I guess I am left with no option but to switch to Linux and advise as many people as possible to stay away from Microsoft products. There is no way I will ever purchase anything that runs on Windows 11, or any successive Windows OS for the rest of my life.

      Hi, I recommend removing updates and then blocking them with Christitus' Tweaks. Here's the link: https://christitus.com/windows-tool/. You can modify several annoying Windows 11 options with this software. You should read the instructions on their website. I hope this helps.
