And this is the Microsoft you want to just

[Trackrig]

go into your computer and install any old thing the want when ever they want? How many of the new Windows 10 updates have messed up people's computers - half of them? At least previously you could wait a month after an update was released before you installed it to see if it was going to cause problems and they had to retract it. Now, with even Windows 7 you'll have no options, MS will automatically download updates if you don't turn them off. I have turned all up updates off on my Windows 7 desktop.

It looks like I'll have to live with them on the Windows 10 laptop because there's no way to stop the updates yet. Actually I am stopping them because I haven't turned it on in a couple of months....

More problems with Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

My latest WIN 10 updates all came on August 8 2016. I don't see anything here related to the WIN10 Anniversary Update...

I was told I would have to Microsoft and download it myself if I wanted to have it...

How can I tell if I have it or not??? Can you give me the KB number of the WIN 10 Anniversary Update.

AS far as I know all is running fine here. I am running WIN 10 in WIN 7 mode with ICONs down the left side of the main screen with task bar on the botton. The main screen is running several of my Night Scenes in screensaver mode.

Never wanted to have a screen full of active small window tabs of all my programs. I only load up the ones I normally use at startup using bookmarks just like I did in the WIN7 and WIN8.1 days

Everyone that walks in says I thought you changed over to WIn 10 haha

If you are on a laptop and use wifi just set your wifi connection to "Metered" and no updates will be done until you authorize them. Easy to do. When the big one year anniversary of W10 came out recently I held off with the install since it was approx 3.5 gb download. I went to a public free wifi and d/l it there.

You can take full control of windows 10 update options in several ways, easiest it to use the windows policy editor to enable all of the same options you had back in windows 7 or simply disable update service.

Here's one set of instructions, I haven't tested this specific sites instructions as I created .reg files to setup my machines:

Your preachin' to a crowd of update zombies on this forum..

Folks now days are completely oblivious to losing control of privacy, data and now what someone else allows to exist on the PC they paid for..

I am still running XP, have a couple of "sevens" which I disabled windows update the moment they started forcing and coercing people with the 10 nagware updates..

No plans to dump 10 on anything of mine until some third party folks get the #10 monster under control.. Someone WILL figure away to bullet proof it from the heavy handed forced everything for your own good nannies..

I just can not have an update screw everything up. I have a LOT of old software programs and when you allow an update that's when everything crashes. THEY assume you are running everything new and IMHO JMHO these new updates do not address older versions of stuff on your computer.

I keep every and all things that say 'auto' update. SHUT OFF. :C
