Re: and yet more win10 shit

We understand you care deeply about what happens with your device

You only want our devices for your fucking Borg collective.

Let's all ask "Q" to snap his fingers and make microshaft "vanish."

"This is why regardless of your upgrade path – you can choose to upgrade or decline the offer."

Nuh-no! We haven't forgotten how IE "forgets" its settings.

After any upgrade, you can easily go back to your prior version of Windows within 31 days if you choose.

Well, not quite. Sure- you can go back, but it'll be rooted by then. It's moot anyway, since they'll be running ransomware after (and before?) that 31 day period.

Re: and yet more win10 shit

Those that care have their updates to only download and install when they choose, no drama here really. And how is this any different to Apple nagging you to upgrade, or Android when there is a new version ?

Re: and yet more win10 shit

go read it again.
they are going to flag the "upgrade" the same as security fixes.

next-step - just installing it without asking.
i'm pretty sure there is something in the so-called "EULA" that allows that.

No need to read it again.
They are changing it from recommended to important. No forcing to install. No "next-step-just installing it without asking" This is Windows 7 and 8/8.1 no updates are forced at all, users have complete control over their system.

users have complete control over their system.

the last version of windows that had that was 3.11

Re: and yet more win10 shit

Changing an update from optional/recommended to important is hardly losing control.

I will still have the option to download it as will all the other Administrators and Users depending how their system is configured and managed.

What is it on Windows 7 that I can't control ? and if your argument is about lack of control why are you not shouting about Apple or Android or ChromeOS or Ubuntu ?

Re: and yet more win10 shit

No, Windows does not install recommended updates by default.
You will have to select the option in Windows Update to do so which I've described in the Win7 updates thread:

And really, we needed another pointless thread like this, it is not enough that I have now moved what, like 5 new pointless threads to the already existing Win10 thread?

i could if i had the energy, i dont use any of them.
if i had to use android i would compile my own without any google shit or use a chinese rom because they already have the google shit replaced by chinese shit.
(that i also wouldnt use)

Re: and yet more win10 shit

So it's an anti Microsoft rant rather than pushy update rant, there is no real news to the story.

Windows 10 wasn't finished by it's release date, there have been several issues with it that continue and it is only 3 months old.

Re: and yet more win10 shit

On Vista, W7, and W8/8.1, you can also disable the feature in windows update that even allows getting recommended updates the same way as important. The setting is in GPEDIT in the same place as disabling updating to the latest windows version:

Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update

Turn on recommended updates via Automatic Updates, and set it to disable....then you'll never have to worry about those pesky recommended updates being installed inadvertently.

That was enabled by default on my computer. I guess that is an OEM customization option. I wouldn't have chosen to enable it (or the Customer Experience Improvement Program, which had been "opted-in" on my computer as well).
