Belatucadrus Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Good link, I'm not a fan of 8.1 but while I registered for the update I've decided to wait a bit until I can try 10 out before risking the update. I know it's "easy" to reverse but I'm in no hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 We really shouldn't tell people how to disable automatic updates! The main reason why there were (and still are) so many virus infections around the world is that a great number of people never installed any security updates. I applaud Microsoft for forcing updates on people. The only reason why automatic updates should be disabled is in corporate environments, where updates are pushed out centrally.

AlanHo Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I agree Pat - the whole philosophy of Win 10 now being a service with maximum protection should not be compromised. Those who dont like it should stay with Win 7 or 8 (until support for these is withdrawn) or go climb the Mac or Linux learning curve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
