>malware
>literally keeps my computer running
I don't see the problem
maybe this shit will end when their 'free offer' ends.
considering you can still download 8.1 for free on a 8.0 machine i wouldn't get my hopes up, though

No wonder my family's computer stopped auto sleeping... I had to make a task in Task Scheduler to shut it down after 30 minutes of inactivity to make it not burn a hole in our electricity each month.
>>53588985
youve got problems
leaving a computer on 24/7 will only cost like $20 a year.
>>53588985
what shithole country do you live in where leaving a computer on 24/7 bankrupts you?
>>53589109
Shithole countries have cheap electricity brah

Nope it will just morph into "Pay us $99.99 to make these ads go away". Or "Pay us $99.99 after we force upgraded you and won't let you downgrade anymore"

Do you seriously believe this?

>Linux is still shit
>Mac is still for fags
>I'll keep win7 for as long as I can
The future is looking great
>>53588743
all that is totally unnecessary, you just need to set the DisableOSUpgrade and DisableGWX registry entries
>he posted it again
>>53588985
there's an option for that in the energy settings
I set it to hybrid/hibernate
>>53588743
with Microsoft, you always lose
completely false
-sent from my fully updated win 8.1 without gwx
>>53589262
though i did have to uncheck 1 update but that wasnt too hard
>>53589213
>Having to fuck with your OS's guts to make it not force OS upgrades on you
C.U.C.K.E.D.
I broke my GWX thing, it is still there but doesnt work, not sure how to feel about it and frankly cant be arsed to either get rid of it or update.

>>53589109
Just a statement. I don't want it runnings'all.
>>53588743
and here's something else you can learn today kid, antivirus software does the same thing, antivirus software is literally just an intentional virus to wipe out harmful ones in behavior.
Anyone else always get "gwx.exe has stopped working" pop up, fucking windows is awful.
Id switch to linux but it doesnt have ableton or good vst support.
Or lol

How do I stop the spooks from stealing personal info on vanilla 8? I don't want to upgrade to 8.1 at all after appLocale started giving me shit.
