Flashermac Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 The SOBs pulled this on me the other day. Before I knew what was happening, Windows 10 started downloaded! I rebooted, but when it came back it started loaded once again. I finally pulled the plug on the PC and went shopping. I booted up when I came back, and I'd got rid of it. I DON'T WANT WINDOW 10. Get that into your heads, Micro$oft. http://www.bbc.com/n...nology-36367221 Things like this tend to make you want bad things happen to certain people.

Specialist Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 It got me over the weekend. I'm now running Windows 10. I am NOT impressed. As far as I am concerned, Microsoft has consented to remodeling of their corporate headquarters. Using tactical nuclear weapons as earthmovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitagawn Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 WTF This happened oto me as well here in BKK Over the weekend I do not like it It sort of just happened on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Got word of two machines that I help take care of doing just this over the last week. A little googling and a team viewer connection and I was able to roll back both to Windows 7 then insert a couple of registry hacks that both ensure it doesn't happen again and got rid of the nag icon in the system tray. It's worth a bit of effort to search on this and do it yourself. Really it's not that hard. You've got 30 days from the upgrade to go back and after July when the free upgrade program expires it will likely go away by itself. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/windows/how-stay-on-windows-7-8-forever-stop-upgrade-notifications-3614204/ http://www.zdnet.com/article/how-existing-windows-users-can-refuse-microsofts-windows-10-update/ http://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-block-windows-10-upgrades-on-your-business-network-and-at-home-too/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hi, This pisses me off as well. I too have no desire to switch to Windows 10 (it's running on some machines in the office and I don't like it). I think I've already done the necessary to prevent this, but I'll check out those links and make sure. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe7e Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks for the links radioman, Google's been trying to force the windows 10 upgrade on me for several days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Micro$oft is foolish to try to force Win 10 on people. They may very well piss off some folks who know how to send then all sorts of nasty goodies in retaliation. That would really break my heart.
