Warning windows 10 automaticly installs!!!

I never let any programs update my themselves. I have seen too many times where someone updates and doesn't read the screens they are clicking on and end up installing browser toolbars, changing their home page, change your default search engine. Read what you are clicking on and agreeing to.

Adobe defaults to auto install overtime they update and you have to check the one saying ask before updating.

I have both macs and pcs, it seems overtime I start the windows computer it says there are updates available. This is every few days as my DW works from home a few days a week. The mac does not need updating nearly that often.

If you want to stop it, download the GWX control panel and follow the instructions. Stopped dead on this old Win/7 PRo machine which doesn't have any support from Dell.

It Happened on a PC at my business. The main program we operate on doesn't run on 10, so it was worse! Caused a real problem.

All my PCs have been upgraded to W10. Full automatic updates enabled as they were for W7 before.

This so-called malware works great.

so where do you get this panel?

If you can't GOOGLE over to it maybe you should leave it alone.

Not flaming here, just saying.

This will not happen on W7 Pro or Win 8 Pro. Are you using Home Edition at work?!

Run Win 10 Pro on several machines. No issues at all. Solid. I also wear my tinfoil hat while working so maybe that helps a little.

uh i said install. not download, yes it downloads it, it does not install it without agreeing. which is what the op's topic is.

Umm.. no. not correct.

Per MS website HERE you NOW get "Windows 10 Upgrade Scheduling" PUSHED to Win7 and Win8.1 AUTOMATICALLY.

Here is what MS website says in the link above..

"Summary
As we shared in late October on the Windows Blog, we are committed to making it easy for our Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 customers to upgrade to Windows 10.

Windows 10 is our best and most secure operating system ever. Because the free upgrade offer expires later this year, we want to help people get the best ever version of Windows before the promotional offer expires. Users who have chosen to receive recommended updates for Windows may receive a notification that their upgrade is ready to be installed at a scheduled date and time.

To help smooth the transition to Windows 10, there are great support resources for customers available here.

The following screen shot shows an example of the notification that a customer might receive as part of the Get Windows 10 experience.



You choose your experience:

Your Windows 10 upgrade will occur at the scheduled time if you close this window without either selecting Upgrade now or by using the link to change the upgrade schedule or cancel the scheduled upgrade.
If you don’t want to upgrade at this time, select the link to either change the upgrade schedule or cancel the scheduled upgrade.
After you upgrade to Windows 10, you will have 31 days to return to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 if you prefer your previously installed operating system.

Applies to

Windows 10

Keywords:

KB3095675 "

Please note the two sections I have bolded.

IF you have your PC SET to automatically get RECOMMENDED updates you WILL automatically get KB3095675 which will present a NAG screen (remember MS HAS changed W10 from OPTIONAL TO RECOMMENDED).

IF YOU CLOSE THE NAG SCREEN YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY INSTALL WIN10!

To avoid this you MUST select the link to change the upgrade schedule or CANCEL the upgrade.

This in effect IS MALWARE at it's finest.

Acutally it looks like MS is NOW ignoring businesses and possibly pushing W10 out to "Pro" versions..

Take a look HERE

All it takes is for MS to push it to a companies private WSUS server or the companies IT personnel didn't read up on the update before pushing it to their WSUS server..
