Windows 10 is now going to be a Recommended Update
-
Seriously? First they infuriated a million users by surreptitiously downloading it, in case we suddenly felt like upgrading, and now they are actually going to *install* it automatically? The only good thing is Windows 7 Enterprise won't be affected, so my work machine should be safe for now. I don't mind using it, in fact I do have it at home but I object to having it shoved forcefully up my... I mean down my throat.

That kb update installs the "get windows 10" app.

Uncheck the box for treating recommended updates like important updates in your Windows Update settings. If not, it will Auto - Install Windows 10 for you. They say you can still stop the installation, but why bother if you don't have to.
I must be lucky. 0 issues with Windows 10 (and yes, I AM using it.) Too much whining about this topic. :~ Many of those complaining are Microsoft developers. So, do something about it. :^)

Thank you for telling, in my case, I still don't know if the industrial software I do use is compatible or not with Windows 10... :thumbsup:

I bought a new HP mini pc at the weekend to replace my old compaq machine - to act as a security system. The software I use, written by myself, has worked without hitch from XP up to Windows 7. I thought I would try the Windows 10 upgrade and after 1.5 hours of installing it my application kept closing after it was opened. To me that was a showstopper so I returned to WIndows 7 only to discover that disk defrag is no longer working and all the suggestions on google have been tried and found to be useless. Did I also mention that I had to figure out what happened to the start menu option - added the application to task scheduler and discovered that task scheduler was not firing up the application. My problem is that when a colleague accused me of being negative for believing the forum posts about Windows 10 I though he might have a good point - oh how wrong I was. Being a sucker for punishment, I am considering trying again early Saturday morning[insert icon of Gimp here].

Yup, indeedy, yes siree, Bob! The funny thing is how they've all forgotten the similar outpourings of despite that occurred, quite possibly from themselves, when XP came in and then again when W7 replaced it. I wonder how many of those who now laugh uproariously at people still using VB6 and XP were among those who took more than a year to adopt .Net and W7?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

We aren't really whining. We need other versions of Windows for development, forcefully installing Windows 10 or hogging disk space and bandwidth with huge downloads isn't exactly helping us work.

It's the way companies are going though. Google Chrome, for example, auto updates. I know it's not an OS, but doesn't Android and Chrome OS auto update? In fact, Microsoft now only supports IE11 and Edge, I believe. It used to be that they supported several versions back. Those times seem to be changing.

My memory is that when XP came out people seemed happy, when Windows 7 came out people cheered that Vista had been replaced by something way better.

I agree, but there are businesses that haven't vetted Windows 10 against internal apps yet, such as ours. Just letting Windows 10 install, without due research and testing would be retarded. I'm glad you have "0" issues, but I assure you that you are an exception to the case. If you don't mind me asking, do you do IT/Software for a living or just a hobby? Student? Where a fucked up install really wouldn't matter so much...reason why I ask. -- Cheers

I do web development so mostly concerned with how IIS runs and the browser. But so far Edge (win 10's browser) works mostly like chrome. And chrome often changes things without much notice so I do have to keep up with that. For me, in the long run, it's easier keeping up with the latest version than trying to support 12 different versions of browsers. I'm not saying your complaints are not valid.

I switched off auto-update on my Android device after the newest update bricked the phone - I had to send the phone off to get it fixed as it kept cycling making it impossible for me to get into any mode in order to revert the OS.

Since the old times I learned to uncheck everything and Do not check for updates. If and when something stops working / needs an update I'll check them and install the bare minimum. Who remembers Sasser?

Because I don't want to be notified, nor I want it to look for updates. It must shut up - both towards me and towards the extern. It has to speak when it's spoken to.
