Pretty cool right?

Microsoft is 1 step short of distributing Windows-10 as a forced upgrade.

[Afuldan McKronik]

Been this way for months now to boot. Only difference will be that once the free adoption period is over, you will need to pay for a licence.

Windows 8.1 was a forced upgrade over Windows 8.0.

The only reason I have win 8.1 is I left my computer on unattended and wasn't around to shut down the process.

This is why I disabled windows updates. I don't even let it check for them if I don't explicitly tell it to.

[Idealsuspect]

Just have to hide some few window updates know to be intrusive ...
Read what you install or check some website which list thoses bad KB updates.


You always can install " security update for windows 7 " or " security update for Microsft .NET framework xxx " but you have to click "more infos" when it's only named "update for windows 7" and hide when it's about make evolve windows to a further version.
And if you aren't sure sometimes check some website which list bad updates like http://forum.malekal...uer-t53047.html
or give ya some ways for clean thoses kind of updates like http://pixelnova.fr/...-de-telemetrie/
( well it's in french of course )

The specific one regarding Windows 10 is KB 3035583 and has been marked as important.

I advise anyone reading this that wants to avoid Windows 10 like GonoSyphiliAids to follow these steps:

• Open Control Panel
  
• Go to System and Security
  
• Click Windows Update
  
• Click Installed Updates
  
• type KB3035583 into search bar
  
• right click update, select Uninstall

You can also open Command Prompt as admin and type: WUSA /Uninstall /KB:3035583

I don't know what Microsoft is thinking with this..

You've got companies that rely on software packages that have been setup to work in Windows-7, the companies have things running just the way they want things, or they have hardware like printers, fax, whatever that don't necessarily have driver support for windows-10 yet.

Even us as gamers, like me for instance.. my Sound card doesn't have Windows-10 drivers that work. They were only supported up to windows-7.. Now my Soundcard doesn't work.. I have to run on freaking Onboard crappy sound.. all the cool features, equalizer, 7.1 surround +Bass range booster, microphone or audio recording and music creation software I used to run.. sounds like crap on Onboard audio, and so do my games..

but people with even older machines, maybe their Chipset drivers won't work anymore, or they don't work as fast now, Ethernet cards or onboard ones where companies havn't brought support drivers to windows-10 yet..

People could go to bed, with automatic updates, or just not knowing that windows-10 is scheduling this, and wake up with Windows-10 being installed.. and have a brick sitting in front of them instead of a functioning computer..

Thats just ridiculous..

GWX Control Panel is your best defense against Windows 10.

This is why I ditched Android for an iPhone, which I never, ever thought I'd do. I had a realization when Apple started allowing ad blockers in the app store. Google is an ad company. Apple is a company that makes and sells products. If you look closely at the products, you can see how this difference pervades them at every level. It's not just privacy, it also goes into security, stability and quality of the software.

Look, I love PC gaming. I don't like console gaming. I just can't get the hang of a couch and a gamepad. But if Microsoft wants to become an ad company, too... ugh. Hopefully smart individuals can provide tools to disable the advertising/spyware features for a while, but eventually Windows would go into the toilet as Microsoft's focus shifts and I'd have to get a mac.

[Narcissistic Martyr]

Well... I upgraded my PC to W10 at release because W8.1 was annoying me but I refuse to upgrade my lappy because W10 breaks the wireless rendering it useless.

So, if anyone wants to, you can go in and manually delete the update that constantly ******* at you about this.

[smokefield]

use linux or mac. no one forces you to use windows. how many of you read the eula ? 99% just click agree and are done with it.

eveyone uses win cause its easy to use. laziness. commodity. so you need to accept the down sides also. if you want full control of your system use linux..and not even linux its so "safe" anymore.

[MoonUnitBeta]

The thing I hate the most is Win10 locking me out of using my computer by covering all my screens in a 50% opaque overlay, and gives me two buttons. "Update Now" or "Schedule later".
Couldn't do anything until I clicked either one of those buttons. Clicked schedule later and just closed the window that popped up. Like wtf. If it's that important just update when i turn my computer off or slip in a notification. Don't block me from using my computer. Jeezzuz Kryce.

The more I use Win10 the more infuriated I get so many things just randomly stop working on my computer. And depending on which avenue Microsoft goes after the free-upgrade period, I might just be re-installing Win7...

I got a new computer as a gift. Top end and it came with Windows 10. A nightmare in the extreme.

After venting foul language for what must have been hours on end since Window 10 began its dirty tricks I have given up. I just lay back and it happen. Eyes closed.

[Aresye]

Some of the software licenses I use for some very expensive software (3D rendering plugins) are based on hardware ID (HWID), and can only be changed 2 times over the course of a year.

A forced Windows 10 upgrade would literally prevent me from using my software for the next 8 months. Do not want.

[Alistair Winter]

Things will work themselves out in time. When enough people are tired of Microsoft's sh*t, the demand for alternative OS will increase. And someone will provide it. And Windows will go the way of Bing.



I just hope the alternative isn't Google OS. Because then they'll have the world even more by the balls than they already do.

[Burke IV]

Microsoft is a monopoly. At first they opened up computers to people, now they are coming out with the big brother bs. Microsoft is not needed any more, the market begs for another os, espcially a gaming oriented one. As things stand windows is just a microsoft tax on using your pc.

And people laughed cause i still use xp
