You really should leave automatic updates on.

That said, it was kind of crappy of MS to make Windows 10 a recommended update.
You can't name a single good reason that has any purpose if we aren't talking about hardware changes year to year.

Basically, there is no "really should leave automatic updates turned on". Just wanted to clear that up.

Cull the herd.

@nilbog thanks bud I'll check that out. Looks like it managed to restore back to 7 at least. Was scared it was gonna take a dump and tell me I'm fucked
A guy I know just had his laptop fried by Windows 10 upgrade.

He heard a *POP* noise, and a short bzzssss sound. Then noticed smoke came out of the laptop.

He turned it off for a bit, turned it back on. smoked, popped again, and died.

Full hardware failure. Processor literally blew up..

So much for that "Free Upgrade" wheres his free laptop?

Sounds like he ended up with a hardware upgrade in the end.

Been using pirated Windows 7 for almost 2 years now... the only shit you get is the occasional warning about using it lol

Good luck with Spyware 10 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do not believe in letting windows automatically update.. I opt to download updates, and let me choose when to install them.

Sometimes Windows releases an update which will force you to reboot after a certain amount of time, but that can be disabled as well using the group policy editor.

Windows 10 hasn't been so bad for me; I chose to update to it from windows 8.1.

It took like an hour to figure out how to turn off all the annoying new features and stuff that sends data to Microsoft. Another 30 minutes of personalizing and I was already happy that I made the switch from the terrible 8.1 OS.

To me, Windows10 seemed to bring back the simplicity that made windows7 great and had some cool aesthetic/convenient changes added in. Granted I'm not a super tech-savvy guy, it feels good on the surface and have been running it for maybe 6 months without issue.
