Why does MS keep rolling that update out over and over?
I've hidden it like 10 times and uninstalled it at least 3 times.
this is definitive proof that bush did 9/11
>>53682674
They hope you'll be unattentive and install it by accident.
Why don't more people just disable windows update? I installed Win7 SP1 and stopped after that. Plus I don't get the Win10 advertisements.
>>53682621
>>53682674
what's it do?
:3
>>53682892
It installs Windows 10.
Also, what's gonna happen when Microsoft stops offering the free upgrade, anyway? Surely it won't upgrade it and then demand that you pay $120 for a license, right?
>>53682892
That's the update the puts the "get windows 10" icon on your taskbar.
It's a prerequisite to the upgrade that downloads the OS to your computer, and if you leave it alone for too long will automatically install the OS on some versions.
Imagine coming home and finding a different OS on your computer.
Set your updates to important only.
>>53682621
>getting cucked by your OS
is there anything more pathetic... Fucking kill yourself Rajesh, at this point I honestly believe Indians are the only ones retarded enough to run WinCuck.
Remember kids, with Microshaft you always lose
>>53682982
>look mom, i posted the dank 4chan memes again
>>53683033
Rajesh, this piss poor damage control is just embarrassing
>>53682970
>W10 is now an important update
>>53682970
It's in the important tab.
>>53682621
If you know how to use a computer and how to read basic instructions off a webpage, you wouldn't be seeing that update in the first place.
If you don't know how to block it, or don't know what it is, then you and 99% of consumertards like you need security and system updates forced on you because you can't be trusted to take care of your own system.
>>53683065
>>53683059
Uninstall/Hide or use gwx killer. After getting rid of the get windows kb, I restarted then I hid the windows 10 important update and it has not bothered me since then. Also remember to run disk cleaner to get rid of the shitwindows 10 folder. Possibly with Tays change by /pol/ raj will stop shilling their stupid shit here.
>>53682621
CUCCKED AGAIN, WINCUCCKS
>>53682944
This is literally the case for me. Is there a way to revert back to 8.1? I didn't fucking ask for this. I can't even access desktop it's pushing me straight to the install menu.
>>53682944
Who leaves their computer turned on when they leave?
What happens if you import those 2 registry entries about not wanting win10?
i dont have that problem :^)
although to be fair, >>53683221 is right in saying if you still get that in any aspect it is your own fault.
i should go and edit the settings to prevent it, but i kind of want to leave it be to prove that it is the users fault if it installs itself.
>>53683762
What's in the "Important" tab?
>>53683809
>What's in the "Important" tab?
good question anon, we're lucky if the >>53683762 anon is still alive
>>53683809
it was a definition update for windows defender.
>>53682910
does this even do anything
>>53684015
I don't get the update
>>53683334
Whelp nevermind. Apparently you can just decline at the legal stuff and it'll revert back to tour previous version.
>>53682674
I guess you've proved that there's definitely a backdoor in Windows 7. Just don't update, I guess...

I was halfway to an update, installed GWX killer and it froze everything in place. It does more than just stop updates - makes registry changes, sets local disable policies. Probably other configuration tricks.

Giving Microsoft your password does not mean that the encryption itself is backdoored. If it were backdoored, Microsoft / the NSA / whoever wouldn't need your encryption key. This also only applies if you log into Windows 10 with your Microsoft account.

Why leave updates on anyway? Why update anything? You don't need regular updates.
If you don't act like a retard and blindly download and install software from questionable sites then there is no reason for you to ever worry about viruses or malware. You don't need anti-virus software.
There is nothing really safe that you get from Windows updates. You just get extra shit that you may or may not want.
I have Windows 8 and whenever I reformat, once Windows is installed I turn off the updates indefinitely.

Mandatory Access Control has been on Windows since Vista in the form of the Mandatory Integrity Control feature:

>>53682621
(Winfag dev here) it's because so many people complain about marcoshit 8 that we just punched the update in and it goes for all versions, that and we can shut down your proprietary software if you break the law on our systems. (for real) you're welcome for not making cortina the most intrusive shit ever btw.
>>53682674
Because they keep releasing revisions of that update which causes it to unhide itself. Either its just an annoying side effect or microsoft is intentionally trying to sneak the update onto everyone's system

gg
You act like your computer isn't already running Microsoft spyware.
>>53684722
Haven't looked into it personally, but it could run from Task Scheduler, which could cause no additional processes to run until a specified time each week.
>>53683302
I like how M$ actually thought it'd be a good idea to get rid of the error message with the code and replace it with a vague "something happened" message.
>>53690082
>It's your own responsibility to read the description and choose.
So now my "responsibility" is check every fucking time I have updates if MS has re enabled an update I've disabled like five times. Wow. I sincerely hope MS is paying you to write that shit, I'd hate to think there is somebody so fucking retarded in this world.
>>53682674
Because they want dns blocked?
tfw I wont think twice about blacklisting their whole ip range if they keep it up.
