You have very little control over how/when updates are forced onto your system. It's an IT nightmare for most orgs.
We have to go to Win10 Enterprise to use the GPOs that we currently use with Win 7 Pro. There are still some in Win 10 Pro, but a limited set. We also use software to suppress Windows Update and test the patched before they are deployed.

On a side note, I really hate Windows 10, but there are some places where it performs better than 7 and it comes with DX12.
