Yes I get the same result. It looks like explorer hides the folder "Recent" even though I do not have the box ticked to hide hidden folders.

Hi,

Yes. Wonder what genius at MS thought of doing that trick

 

It is (or was) possible to turn it off. I had to turn it off on my laptops I use for PLC programming. The older PLC software (esp from Allen Bradley) was/is very finnicky about updates. Would only work on certain service packs. I haven't tried it lately because I'm not "allowed" to (I have admin rights but respect IT's wishes) so I don't remember how, and haven't done it on newer versions of windows.

You could always disconnect from the internet.

Windows 10 will let you set active hours so update will not reboot when you are using machine.
Look under windows update in settings. Click on "change active hours"
