JMich: Ah, you mean the ones I've been posting how to disable ever since Windows 10 came out
Yes those
JMich: with tools available for a few years (yes, before Windows 10).
... yes... i know...
JMich: I did post in this thread both required tools to disable automatic updates (O&O ShutUp10) and selectively install them (Portable Update). So those forced automatic updates, that you can easily disable.
Yes i know. But it probably would be so easy to slide in unwanted updates with requires security updates that everyone needs so they aren't vulnerable... Or with bills and agreements, giving you what you think is a lot of good stuff, and some nasty stuff hidden in among them so you don't really notice what you're accepting...
But as i said, let's see how things turn out a few years from now. Regardless i don't trust MS anymore, so since i can't be un-biased *shrugs*. I'd love to be totally wrong... But we'll have to see.
