The only time I broke the screen was when my Lumia 635 started going nuts and didn't stop for a while, and I needed to make an important call. I lost patience and the phone suddenly impacted screen-first on a wall... one of those ridged exterior walls. It didn't end well for the screen.

I've never been the sort to loose patience and go  with things like that, but I can understand some people do.

It runs in the family since at least 3 generations - luckily only on objects. If there is something the male of my family species do not tolerate is uncomplying technology. I lost count of the phones, tools and car radios my dad threw out of the windows, deliberately massacred with power tools or run over with the car.

There is a complete industry built to do just that; it is called "marketing" and "advertisements".

What are you even talking about? That update block on Win7 on newer machines? Mine is 6 years old. And if it's not that, I haven't seen anything published like "why you should stop updating your Win7 machine". So why don't you shed your wisdom instead of being a smartass?

I believe you misunderstand the true purpose of the "Lounge". Never expect any useful information or feedback here, unless taking about the CCC. 
There is only one place worse than here and that's the "SoapBox"

It is a hp pavilion p6, bought in 2014. It works like a charm.
I have windows 10. One of the last update that comes with Windows Update brings a black screen after startup - this seems to be a very common problem by hp, a quick Google "hp black screen with mouse" brings ton of results - and of HW-depending answers.
It is more than 2 years old, so no warranty. hp does not support it anymore. I bought it (new) online, so no way to get support from the vendor no-phone-number-and-it-is-so-simple-to-ignore-email-requests.jpg
So now I am stuck. There will be no driver update on hp side to cope with the windows update. I have no trivial way to keep my PC from being updated -> In win 10, you can either deactivate windows updates completely, which is unsafe, or wait for the update to be installed to desinstall them. Which means wait for the black screen occurence to happen, go in safe mode, launch recovery, etc... I know how this will end : I will have to buy a new machine.
In what twisted world are we living ...?

As opposite to safely unable to boot, therefore impossible to attack.

That's not really a Micro$haft problem - my computer is older than that (or at least the MB and processor are, the Video card and HDD are not what it came with) and has no problem with updated drivers. Two years old? HP's problem - yell at them to make you feel better, and try replacing the video with an "off board" video and new drivers. It may fix your problem and make your computer feel faster. Like me, you probably have a couple of old spares kicking around.

Isn't a hp pavilion a laptop only?
Is it possible to replace/update the video card in that? Or actually is that possible in most laptops? I have no idea but I always figured one was out of luck on that.

No. Just had a look at the Wife's Desktop, HP Pavilion running an AMD A10, circa 2013/14.
