So this happened without my input
ok
>>54487810
le botnet! xD
>>54487810
That's how malware works
>>54487810
That's what you get for using windows.
Tsk tsk tsk
>>54487810
Using windows
2016
same here just happened last night. Just update the telemetry uptions with the scripts available out there to block some of the spying. Looking forward to test this out with wireshark soon to see if indeed MS still manages to send data without my input.
28 updates am i fucked
>>54487934
I just avoid KB3035583 and install other updates, never got the Get Win 10 upgrade done automatically

>>54487810
It happened because you didn't do anything to stop it.
Maybe don't ignore every prompt you get next time.
>taking an image of the screen
Absolutely no excuse
>>54488016
It spawns a prompt with little time to say NO. In my case turned on computer went to see NBA finals in the living room.... half-hour past and I was surprised with the same percentage screen OP has. Not even a prompt to ask if you backed up your files in case the install goes completely bad.
I agree this is how malware works. Now i feel like just wiping windows off my computer.
>>54488051
Supposedly you can return to the previous version within a month.
I don't know for sure if that works since I have not touched win10
>>54487810
Wouldn't have happened if you just installed gentoo
>>54488084
you can return to the previous version immediately, and nothing is affected
you retain the windows 10 license you got for free and can sell it.
>>54488051
You've had months upon months to simply remove the updates that put gwx.exe on your computer.
Yes, it's more aggressive now than it was at the start. But that doesn't change the fact that this only happened because you did nothing to stop it.
You're the idiot that just let every update through.
You're the idiot that didn't look up how to remove it within the several months you've had to do so.
You brought this upon yourself.
>>54488112
whats a /G/?
>>54488116
I though win10 license was bounded to the mobo
Is W10 still a bloated buggy mess, or should I upgrade now?
Does /g/ have a guide on how to turn all the extras off, like the start-menu ads and shit?
Windows 7 stops being supported soon and I wanna make sure my bases are covered.
>>54488171

not for another year, at least... they put off ending support for winXP several times and will likely do so again
that said, 10 is great and I have no plans to go back
>>54488217
he was saying don't ask
no W10 isn't bloated and buggy
no there is no reason to upgrade either
Don't stop using W7 just because microsoft stops supporting it, stop using it when you actually need to stop

It makes sense, I'l hold onto W7 a bit longer.
>>54488247
>>54488252
My pc is old as fuck and actually slower with win10
My laptop has troubles with drivers, fuck sony,
at this point i'll update for win11
funny thing, I used win2k, skipped vista and used win7 when it came out, this is the same situation
>>54488247
Win 7 support ends in 2020
>>54487810

it happened because of your lack of input. you're like the bystander who doesn't call 911 when a person is bleeding out and claiming you aren't responsible for their death

>using the smiley with a carat nose
Roll back to your previous operating system
Download "GWX Control Panel"
Fucking christ /g/ it doesn't require being a genius to figure this out, I thought you all had more intuition than this.
>>54488171
W10 is the single worst piece of shit software product I've came upon ever in my life.
Microsoft simply tells to your face that, to them, their meme telemetry shit is more important than your actual needs as a user of your own system. They pushed information retrieval (aka spying) to be the first priority of the OS; hence it doesn't matter what you are currently doing, they will go ahead with their obscure updates and not care. Additionally, I've experienced a significant performance drop in every machine I've tried this piece of shit, could be related to it constantly sending whatever information to microsoft, or simply due to the poor implementation of their interface.
I admit that GAHNOO + Loonix is quite uncomfortable most of the time for an inexperienced user, but Windows 10 has managed to go even beyond that. I switched permanently to linux and will never look back.
should of installed gentoo
>>54488505

>>54487810
>without my input
Next time, don't leave updates enabled like a fucking normie
>>54488498
...If you don't like it, don't use it? You have 30 days to roll back after installing it, dude. That's more than enough time to determine whether or not you like it.
>>54488539
>wanting to use outdated software that has all the telemetry shit backported by default
what a great fucking idea
>>54488539
Did you read the whole post?
I said I switched to Linux and am not coming back.
>>54488550
How is something still supported considered "outdated"?
Also you can disable telemetry in Windows 7 and 8.1 :O
>>54488573
Linux is good too.
>>54488339
>i'll update for win11
Windows 10 is the last operating system microsoft will put out. Now that they are at an even number that matches apple they will just release revisions every year. Get ready for Windows 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 just like OSX.
>>54488550
You can choose not to install the telemetry. You would know this if you weren't a mouth breather like OP.
>>54488587
>How is something still supported considered "outdated"?
Like XP it will die eventually.
>Also you can disable telemetry in Windows 7 and 8.1 :O
Can you now? Beat MS at their own game that is?
>>54488620
>You can choose not to install the telemetry.
They've been pushing updates marked as important with no description. Only for users to find out about what it actually does 1 month later. Take GWX as an example.
>>54488615
you're shitting me right? at some point they'll have to release a new version without, right
fucking curry nutella
>>54488650
I understand if clicking the "More Information" button is beyond your capabilities, but I assure you functional human beings are perfectly capable of not installing the telemetry.
>>54488625
>Can you now? Beat MS at their own game that is?
Ya:
Disable the following updates, KB3068708, KB3022345,KB2952664, KB2990214, KB3035583, KB971033, KB3021917
Disable "Remote Registry" under Services.
Disable all "Microsoft-Windows-DiskDiagnosticDataCollector" under scheduled tasks
Download GWX Control Panel and run all the fixes.
Boom, you're welcome.

so... install gentoo?
>>54488690
Here's a list of some of the updates and their respective description that enable telemetry in Windows 7 and 8:KB3068708 Update for customer experience and diagnostic telemetry
KB3022345 Update for customer experience and diagnostic telemetry
KB2952664 Compatibility update for upgrading Windows 7
KB2990214 Update that enables you to upgrade from Windows 7 to a later version of Windows

KB971033 Description of the update for Windows Activation Technologies
KB3021917 Update to Windows 7 SP1 for performance improvements
KB3044374 Update that enables you to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to a later version of Windows

Of course this will stop Microsoft from pushing similar updates in the future.

Wowie, guy!
>>54488825
I, too, enjoy using an outdated operating system.
>>54488861
Cool dude, you saying it more doesn't make it true. Updates are still coming out for them and therefore are not outdated.
>>54488877

Weaaaaaak argument. You disable specific updates and install others. Since those others are available it's still up to date, not outdated. You gotta shoot better ammo at me, man.

Or I could just run an entirely different OS that doesn't try to install malware at all.

Why the fuck? Just use something respectable.

Yee, Linux is good. If you want to use Windows for a particular reason, however, I was just sharing that you can disable all the bullshit, that's all! No offense, man.
>>54487810
This is why you run OOSU10, disable automatic updates, update whenever you want.
You should have configured it properly in the first place, pleb.
Go use a babby OS like linux. Windows 7 is for real hardcore techies.

Retard. I turned that shit off when I tried to install the security updates and it tried to fucking install the GWX update but failed when I searched in the update history.
