Yeah, You can disable that feature fairly easy.
Just go into services, find windows updates and disable it.

The way Windows 10 is pushed is terrible. Of course it can be disabled, that's not the point. That never even was the point to begin with.

You can also remove ads from websites, but they're still ads. I also remember having some trouble trying to remove candy crush when I installed w10 which was really annoying.
Exhibit A,
A sensible users start menu

Linux has made me vastly prefer launchers like launchy, it's just so much faster to use the keyboard than fuck around with the start menu
Though right clicking the start button does actually come up with some useful things, which is good, because the settings menu you get in the start menu is shit.

Dude that fucking Start Menu came close to ruining me infront of family and friends. I upgraded to Windows 10 to run VR games better and we were using my computer communally for VR at the time and I had no idea that start menu showed fucking pictures of your most visited folders.
Bam fucking folders of porn on half those stupid god damn widgets. And even after I disabled those I had to hide a million shortcuts in my file explorer to porn folders and shit like that. Luckily I had the monitor off and was in Virtual Desktop for the first encounter with Win10 showing off my dirty stash in the file explorer so no one saw it. The second time though was via the start menu and my friend's girl friend saw it when I was loading up VR for them.
I still can't believe people are like "I can't get the programs on the Windows 10 start menu what am I gunna do".
If you're using icons then you're using your computer grandma style.
All you do is hit start and then type what you want.
For shit you want on a day to day basis, put it on your taskbar.
The fact that this happened at all just shows how utterly clueless Microsoft is as a company. I mean, what idiot says "what if we made it so an annoying box comes up and says 'upgrade' to windows 10' " , if it's happening to the point where corporate copies are effected, it's plain ridiculous.

This has been standard for literally all software in the last 10 years, you are crying for nothing.
It can be disabled too, like with most programs.

While I agree that it's shitty and annoying, it's quite simple to disable within Windows Server so that it affects every machine connected to the domain, the IT department probably made a little mistake
The machine I use for work runs Windows 7 and it has never had the Windows 10 popup. It's fairly easy to just block that update.
Just because you have switched to Win10 and everything is all good doesn't mean you have to mindlessly defend the way Microsoft is advertising it.
