Windows 10 essentially makes it so that you can't shutdown your computer without installing the latest updates.

This isn't true. You can shut down, but the performance hit will remain as soon as you boot next until you take the updates. Unless something has changed dramatically, Microsoft sets the thread priority of its update approval check process higher than any user available priority setting. Windows 10 is extra painful in that there are no obvious signs in the UI outside of Settings that this update process is waiting for approval unlike previous versions where you'd get a little icon in the tasks bar system tray.

Some of my programs (Zoom teleconference app specifically) also stopped functioning on my Win10 machine until I took the update. Really nice.
