      Next up... Your computer is rebooting to upgrade to Windows 10

      With no cancel button. And mysteriously the restoring back to 7 option will be gone.

        I wonder if the EULA for Windows 7 has something in it that would make the take over of windows 10 legit and preventing any lawsuits against Microshaft?

          So sick of this. You have to uninstall those updates so many times as it is. I'm guessing I'll be getting some calls this week.

            a friend of mine who fixes windows was talking to me yesterday,
            he has seen an interesting problem TWICE now on win10

            machine boots to the desktop, but there are no programs/icons
            you cant run anything at all.
            and that includes the recovery disk!!!

              <sarc on> Wow! Two times is a trend! <sarc off> Is that two times on two separate computers or twice on the same machine? edit: not a M$ fan but let's be real.

                Oh *bleep!* I've had enough with W10 and Microspyer's JUNK. I am SOOOOO ready to have every computer in our house have Ubuntu installed on it(I may have to reinstall myself) just to ditch W10's junk. YYYYYAAAAAHHHHHHRRRRRRGGGG...

                      I disable all that through gpedit, that way nothing sneaky can re-enable it. For instance, if you disable automatic updates, and then install MSSE, MSSE installer re-enables automatic updates....but if you disable all of this through gpedit, its disabled permanently, atleast in win7 and S2K8. I can't speak for 8/8.1 though.

                        I'm still using windows 7 pro, but when the time comes when its no longer safe, I will most likely install linux. It's a shame because all the new games will soon move away from win7 and I just upgraded my main PC. Oh well, I'd rather not use Nazisoft Vindows 10
