Seems like people don't like to read older posts in here. Like people on Reddit not reading the article and going straight to the comments section to post... If you're on latest Windows 10 version and have trouble with exclusive mode. The answer on why and how to workaround the problem was already posted a few pages back.

Here's the tool to make exclusive mode work for Windows 10:

Regarding Windows Update and drivers here's some regtweaks to to disable driver updates. Just put them in a .REG file.
If you're on Windows 10 Pro this registry tweak is the same as toggling the option in Group Policy:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate"=dword:00000001
Add these reg tweaks for good measure. These worked to disable drivers from being included in updates before they added the group policy option:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DriverSearching]
"SearchOrderConfig"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata]
"PreventDeviceMetadataFromNetwork"=dword:00000001
If you have Win 10 Pro you can set updates to notify before download in Group Policy instead of automatic downloads. This lets you download updates manually but it will still notify you when updates are available. In Home version you can do this reg tweak for the same thing:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000002
You will probably need to restart your computer after using any of these registry tweaks for them to apply.
To enable the old F8 boot options in Windows 10. Run command prompt with admin privileges and type:
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
This lets you mash F8 during boot and it will bring up the boot menu with safe mode like older windows.
To reverse that setting:
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard
