Oh no, now you get a better UI, driver support, and you'll continue to receive updates well past when Windows 7 EOLs.

Like that time W10 downloaded the wrong wifi drivers for my laptop and I had to download them on my other computer off the manufacturer's website and install them from a USB stick? I'll pass, Deepak.

>Like that time W10 downloaded the wrong wifi drivers for my laptop
just to be clear, this never happens in real life.

Windows update uses device IDs to select drivers and is much better than a human browsing the internet and downloading random .exe's and .ini's

Yes, because Windows can only look half decent if only compared to its previous releases. In the meantime, reality exists and GNU/Linux and Mac OS are perfect. Windows is junk. But, the fact it had a strong presence before the improvements to GNU/Linux and Mac OS manifested, it attracted all the vendors hence favorable software compatibility. Today's Windows users do not know or want to realize the strong support for the other two OS's popularity as it has now reached levels far beyond Microsoft's ability to recover. This is highlighted most notably with the integration of Ubuntu in Windows 10. Also, insider information has revealed the shit code to Windows and the internal mess that is Windows' work environment at their headquarters. Though, all you see is an ugly facade that is Windows 10 unless you dig some on the internet. Mac OS and GNU/Linux originated from intellectual superiority in terms of any comparison with Windows. I hope it gets run into the ground with that Windows 10 "App" store!

Is there a setting you have to turn on to get Windows to auto download drivers? I did a clean install of 10 on my laptop and had to download them all manually.

Today I had to manually install updates to a fresh Win 7 installation because the OS is so shitty it's own auto-updater can't even function.

W10 insisted on downloading and installing ITS versions of my nvidia drivers repeatedly even though I kept installing the latest ones myself. Was awesome.

You can just not accept the terms and it will restore back to win7.

I needed to run Windows Loader again since my win7 wasn't genuine after the restoration but other than that it's back to normal.

Considering I installed win 10 a day ago from win 7 upgrade in calling bullshit. The upgrader has multiple points where it'll wait for your input as to decide how to upgrade the system. It's not fully automatic.

True but, repairing/restoring back to previous versions during an OS install has never had a good track record for MS, when I saw the "welcome to win10 installation" screen, I was half sure it's gonna break if I don't accept but got lucky and got my win 7 back.

If you need to disable updates to use your computer as you want something is clearly wrong with your fucking OS and you must be a true idiot for defending this.

This just happened to me. Literally 5 minutes ago.

Had I gone for my planned shit, I would have come back during an upgrade to win 10.
This is bullshit.
There is not clear way to cancel it. I was scared that if I were to close the dialog box, the counter would still go on.
There is no clear "Cancel scheduled upgrade" button. You have to close "I need more time" and then "Reschedule" in order to get to "Cancel". It's as if MS wants you to get down on your hands and knees to beg them not to upgrade you.
>>
Does anyone know why updates on Windows 10 make my cpu fans go crazy? I can't stand this shit. What if I'm running a benchmark or gaming or something and Windows is updating in the background without my permission and hurting performance.
