Win10 - Ugh

lol ... given your "unProfessional Profile" is soaked in Windows only sauce this must be a sad day in your life? But guessing one of these (profile OR this post) is the joke, as how could it take a windows jockey this long to try Win10 for the first time?

I didn't "try" it. That implies a desire to use it. It was already on a machine (that belongs to someone else that I don't even know). Being the only computer person anybody seems to know within my sphere of influence, I was asked to resolve an issue on the box. And here's some info you might find useful for any future interaction you might direct my way - I don't give a flyin rat f*ck about how you view my "unprofessional profile".

I had the displeasure of using a Win10 computer last night. I hated it. That is all.

Why LINUX?[^] Slightly ironic dude we got there. Do not feed the troll. If you want to harm him in other ways, go ahead.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

PMSL! "Unprofessional profile" ... were you talking about your own? "How could it take a windows jockey this long to try Win10 for the first time?" - I'm a "windows jockey" ... I've "looked" at Win10, I've "tried" Win10 and I'm happy to stay well away from it until all of the issues are sorted. But on a more relevant topic ... why are you so negative? Been here 5 years and you only seem to come out of the cupboard to have a go at other members? To quote you.. lighten up

I like windows 10 but people have to release some things about it: 1. You can get the enterprise version for free from college and block updates for up to a few months by default. Go to settings->update->advanced settings and check the defer feature updates which usually blocks most updates. I've tested it and it works. 2. I like to use the open in internet explorer option in Edge to have websites open in windows 10 fine that opened fine in windows 7 (I have experienced this problem too of edge not properly loading websites but it does not stop me from using windows 10). 3. Programming wise, I have started figuring out UWP which is a pain but workarounds do exist. File operations are close to what your used to with StreamReader and StreamWriter in dotnet with some changes (the async operations are a pain but quite pleasant once you figure them out). 4. Class shell is available but with some basic hacks or organization, I like the start menu. I really have to give them a star for the search bar because once Cortana is disabled your start menu looks faster for items. 5. Disable Cortana and diagnostic data if you prefer to stay silent in what you send Microsoft (i.e. I did disable Cortana at first because during certain actions she sends data to Microsoft such as news preferences then I realized I told her to retrieve that). Looks like windows 10 is great so far. I was skeptical after windows 8 and 8.1 and the crazy programming environment but its coming along great.

Since you cannot refuse MS's updating of YOUR computer - it's now there computer. It doesn't matter to me what the hell else it can do. I will never let them own my PC. The rest of your arguments are irrelevant aside from showing how sleazy and untrustworthy they are.

Not meaning to be rude but unless they changed the options you can have it up to 6 months. However, a WSUS server could make it up to a year. I used the update block option myself but so far have had no real problems with visual studio ( I upgraded to 2015 a while back to see what the fuss was about but the only computer with problems was a old computer I had 5 years or more already). So, it seems like the privacy paranoia has you crazy. If you do not like updating go to linux. It's almost the same as saying Linux is a secure OS which is false. Linux does something similar with updates (I think Ubuntu has a similar option but you need to set it up). Apple even does automatic updates and their company is not Microsoft and they force their opinions into the OS despite backlash while Microsoft listens. If you hate updating ask Microsoft to bring back the block update until you are ready option like in XP. That's why they have the windows insider program. So, if you really are an avid windows user and not a crazy privacy troll put your big boy pants on and tell Microsoft that you want it like it was in windows XP.

You ought to do a look-back into CP history - how many professionals are essentially locked out of their computer whilst it spends hours updating - and doing whatever the hell else MicroSlut wants to do.

Ignoring it - deprecating the concept by calling it 'paranoia' - now that is crazy. Ubutu upgrades only with the user's permission. As do the applications. Also, installing Ubuntu for duel-boot doesn't trash Windows. Try it the other way around some time . . . Meanwhile - enjoy having your desktop turning into a bloated cell phone. Having your applications and setting manipulated for you and "for your own good". By the way: VS2015 had some interesting "telemetry" being installed for a while - in every application it created - the user of the application having their system and privacy essentially raided - without telling anyone what they were doing. Enough developer protest and they stopped doing it by default. At least so far as anyone's yet found. Meanwhile - since you're not paranoid - enjoy having doubleclick enhance your user experience.
