I'm kinda confused as to how you could have had Windows 10 without updating it for a year. And why you'd even ask if it might fix your problems. That's kinda what updates are for.
Just make sure to not install the Creator's Update yet.
I did and had a bunch of bugs:
- After shifting around my live tiles, Windows shifted them some more after the next restart
- I had a notification banner appear in the layer behind the task bar, instead of in front of it
- Whenever I log in, my secondary monitor stays black for up to five seconds
- When I boot, my desktop colors are off at first
- After installing the update, Windows 10 reverted the registry entry that turns off startup delay
- After install my secondary monitor's wallpaper was changed to copy my primary monitor's
- Windows Defender cannot be opened with a double-click
Knowing Microsoft, half of these will only be fixed in Redstone 3 or never at all. They still haven't made tablet mode usable, after all. Then again, the bloggers also don't dare to criticize the tablet mode and its current condition looks like no one ever actually tested it, so maybe they aren't even aware.
Do you have an SSD or HDD? With the former, updating will take a few hours at most. With the latter, a few days would be thinkable. It also depends on your internet bandwidth, though.
Also, the Windows Phone thing is just part of Microsoft being Microsoft. I got a Lumia 620 and it works fine for the most part, but remember having had issues with the Live Tiles. It's not as fluid as WP 7 used to be, though. They kinda downgraded that with every update. |

The thing that confuses me is that Windows 10 does not give you the option to turn off updates. Did you do something to the registry or what?
Also, 16mb/s crippled by Windows Updates? Are you drunk? I've got an entire four-person household at 16mb/s and no one has any problems with Windows Update. This includes videostreams and games.
Updates are only downloaded once a month, on patch Tuesday, anyway.
I guess app updates are more random, but I'd assume that they are on a magnitude of maybe a few MB in most cases. Which causes trace amounts of lag, at most.
