Microsoft Auto-Scheduling Windows 10 Updates

[DEAD7]

Windows 10 has been with us for a little over eight months now, which means there are only about four months remaining to get a free upgrade from an older Windows operating system. As the clock counts down, Microsoft has begun to auto-schedule PCs to upgrade to Windows 10 with or without consent from end users.

Now, as we near the end of the free upgrade period, Microsoft's malware-like upgrade system is becoming even more intrusive by autoscheduling upgrades to Windows 10. I noticed that the Windows 10 upgrade reminder pop-up on a Windows 7 PC was no longer asking me to upgrade; instead, it's now informing me that it has already scheduled an update for May 17.

Can't you continue to just reschedule ?

Every engineer in the company probably already asked themselves this question, best believe there is a limitation or cut off date.

I know they outsource some shyt to Hyderbad but NOT ALL of them are that dumb to miss something so obvious...

Nothing special I guess. I ran xp pro and linux on old (think early 00's) alienware desktop I kept updating over the years.

I may have had vista actually on one of my HP laptops but they never lasted long.

I don't have really game anymore and don't like sitting at desks so I just run mac laptops now.
The best thing to me about them is they last more than two years.



The wifi scanner come in handy?

I turned off automatic updates because of this shyt, I was fine with upgrading untill I found out there is no way to completely turn off the OS sending info about me to microsoft, we get followed around enough online as is, no reason to let the offline parts get sent out either

Two of my friends' laptops have been bricked by the Windows 10 update.
Has my laptop rebooting at random times of day, including during one of my papers for finals.
Probably because I'm on some HP Pavilion trash.
I'm gonna make the jump to Macbook soon anyway.
How does such a massive company produce such weak product?

need to figure out if there's a way to firewall windows updates. it's been awhile since i turned off auto update but I don't even get notifications anymore, just that persistent little shyt white windows logo down in the corner of my taskbar

when i decided to go from 8 to 8.1 i'm trying to remembver the specifics, but it seriously fukked my laptop up and not only that made it so that i wasn't able to recover/revert. there were a ton of threads on it when i googled it and there really wasn't shyt you could do

why can't they make linux super easy to use???????? please


also i'm trying to stay away form this shyt cuz i got an hp proliant up and running in my closet and the more i do with it the more i care less about anything and resent computers. i'm at the point where i'm gonna boot up some rare os that lets me torrent with a vpn and surf the web anonymously and say fukk it. I have a smart phone
