Haven't you wondered why MS is forcing Windows 10 on everyone?
>>54310819
thank god that you are going to get rid of windows 7
>>54310819
Yes, Microsoft are fucking niggers, forcing their shitty win10 on everyone. If you're smart and dont want win10, do as follows:
> open control panel
> click on "Programs and Features"
> click on "View installed updates"
> look for update called KB3035583
> uninstall by rightclicking it
> wait for it to be done and reboot computer
> win10 installer gone
> go to control panel
> click on "Windows Update"
> click on "Change settings"
> select "Never check for Updates"
> untick the Box where it says "Give me recommended Updates the same way I receive importawnt updates"
> ???
> profit
YES THEY ARE AND IT'S A GOOD THING.
THEY ARE SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING TO PATCH AND SUPPORT 1001 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF WINDOWS WITH 1001 DIFFERENT UPDATE HISTORIES SINCE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE SO FUCKING SMART FOR SWITCHING OFF UPDATES.
WELL NOW YOU WILL BE FORCED TO BE UPDATED TO THE LATEST, MOST SECURE VERSION OF THE OS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T BE TRUSTED TO DO IT YOURSELF.
HALF THE THINGS PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT WINDOWS IS OF THEIR OWN DOING.

KB 3035583 - According to Microsoft, this update enables "additional capabilities for Windows Update notifications when new updates are available".
KB 2952664 - Labeled a compatibility upgrade for upgrading Windows 7, its purpose is to "make improvements to the current operating system in order to ease the upgrade experience to the latest version of Windows".
KB 2976978 - A compatibility update for Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 which "performs diagnostics on the Windows system [..] to determine whether compatibility issues may be encountered when the latest Windows operating system is installed.
KB 3021917 - Does the same as KB 2976978 but on Windows 7.
KB 3044374 - This update for Windows 8.1 enables systems to upgrade from the current operating system to a later version of Windows.
KB 2990214 . Does the same as KB 3044374 but on Windows 7.
Remove those updates from Windows
First thing you may want to do is find out whether those updates are installed. If they are installed, you can remove them from the system and block them from being installed again.
Do the following to check if an update is installed:
Tap on the Windows-key, type cmd and hit enter.
Type powershell and hit enter.
Use the command get-hotfix -id KB3035583 to find out whether the update is installed
To speed things up, query for all updates in a single command like this: get-hotfix -id KB3035583, KB2952664,KB2976978,KB3021917,KB3044374,KB2990214

I've heard that the NSA uses Windows 10 for their surveillance.
>>54313804
MS backported the botnet to Vista/7/8 as well, you can't escape unless you go to GNU or *BSD.
>>54313804
Windows 10 spying and telemetry is way above the levels of windows 7 or 8.1. Everything you do on the computer is send back to microsoft servers: your keystrokes, your internet history, your installed programs, your data usage etc. Even microshit confirmed that they cannot stop windows 10 from sending so much data, even after disabling all that shit in the privacy settings, it just won't stop
>>54310851
It wasn't a bad OS for the longest time. It's STILL not a bad OS. Name one thing about it that was conceptually wrong?
Only reason I ever went to windows 8.1 is because I learned how to bring back windows aero and the windows 7 search bar, which was and is the best start bar/menu of any windows released.
It might be old, but it's still not bad.

While i think people who stick with older windows are utter fucking retards its their choice.
Nobody is forcing them to stick with XP 7 or whatever shitty old outdated os they want its their choice.
Microsoft are just trying to get as many normies on board as they can as buisnesses will just stagnate anyway.
Maybe some will roll out 10 but most wont do that until they absolutely have to.
Dont feel bad for them just look at them and laugh.
/g/ says consoles hold back videogames well yes of course but retard normies hold back windows and now we're all paying the price.

>still using XP

>not having Pro or Enterprise
There's your problem.
Enterprise does allow you to disable everything, Pro is a little weirder since Telemetry can only ever be set to Minimal, but not completely off.
Seems dodgy really, since there was no Enterprise upgrade path - all users got shoehorned into Pro max, which does have some forced Telemetry.
but muh games

Pretty unrealistic to think this would somehow benefit users.
There's Bing's targeted ads system, combined with scanning of all internet traffic, emails, and user input. They're already monetizing on ads on the lock screen, ads in the start menu, full screen ads in solitaire, pushing Candy Crush Saga, making people pay for DVD playback, mining Facebook data etc. etc.
Let's face it: Windows for individual consumers is adware.

Is this bullshit completely on that Indian guy currently running MS, or was this already in the cards during Ballmers reign?
I can't believe I'm wishing things would at least go back to how they were under Ballmers tenure.
I can only hope the pressure to scrap this botnet bullshit increases enough to revert back to the way things were, and they also fire that Indian guy for letting this insanity happen.
That moment when people on Windows 7 or 8 won't upgrade to 10 because "botnet" it "bullshit telemetry". You guys realize that you can turn off anything remotely botnet and all the telemetry in setting. If you're so worried about that then go to fucking Gentoo or some shit. Fucking shit thread.
>>54325718
>https://www.grc.com/never10.htm
NO. you can turn off some. no way in hell you're turning it all off. most are locked to even touch and problably create news ones..
There is no pro's about privacy with 10. if you don't care. that is fine.
>>54310819
Download Never10 from GRC.com and disable it.
Alternatively install linux.
>>54326572
Not OP but thanks.
Have you ever used this? Does this prevent telemetry bullshit as well?
Basically I just want to install a fresh Win7 system and disable the Win10 upgrade and any telemetry shit. The only updates I want are security and performance ones.
They want the Universal Windows Platform to be a target with which their developers can reach all of their customers.
They also obviously want IE dead.
Those are noble goals.
