You haven't used windows enough If you think installing driver updates is always the smartest thing to do. I can't believe you are that naive, so I won't pointlessly explain further.


Naive? Tone down. Driver updates? These usually are done manually. Also you don't have to use it, as another poster already said.

And no, I am not naive but working in IT and IT security for quite a long time and the majority of people don't know anything about computers, operating systems and generally anything they think they know of. And yes, I have used Windows since a very, very long time now.

You can't explain to me anything in this context, right, so it's good you don't even try.

What the heck are you talking about? The tool the other poster is talking about WAS MADE available due to problematic forced drivers updates. HAVE YOU EVEN READ WHAT THE OTHER USER HAS POSTED?

I am sorry, but you just further proved my point, you are beyond naive when it comes to windows updates. 

And why tone down? calling someone naive is flaming now? Funny you ask me to calm down then accuse me of being inable to explain anything right.

Love how everyone is moaning even about this. Tell me the negative impact and i can list you multiple positive ones.

Console autoupdate = amen for that
PC autoupdating = screw MS

honestly cant stand most ppl that just have an online voice. Cheers. And dont forget. Windows are evil. Go use linux or something. Hate how MS helped most naive ppl get online sooner than later. Things were simpler and better back in the day online when fewer used it and for everything but bitching. Good times.

You dont have to go through anything. Cause there is no need to stop your pc from updating when it restarts or boots up. Stop all acting like the most unnecessary drama queens... lol wtf are u all crying about?

I am sticking with windows 7 until MS forces me like they did with XP



Why i left PC gaming

Already changed..

SMH. This isn't an ideal solution. Just give us what PRO users will have.

So if you have windows 7 pro do you get upgraded to windows 10 pro?

And now you are shouting at people...

I am not naive, I want the world to be better and that means automatic updates. People are just not able to judge and that's it. The people who actually can are so rare that it's noise unheard.

I didn't say you were flaming at all and I didn't say you would be unable to explain to me anything because I already know what you want to try to explain which is a bit different in saying but totally different in meaning.

I don't think it's a good way to complain about something that happens during Windows 10 testing because that is what testing is for.

Another reason to stay with Windows 7.

How is this not ideal?   Most users DON'T even know how updates work.. So those people will get the auto updates.. Those who care can do this..  and WILL do this..   whats the problem?    

Also.. the OP needs to fix original post.. as people are thinking the title is TRUE>. Which it is not... 

This KB 3073930 tool for Windows 10 Insiders/beta-testers can only be used AFTER a problematic update has been downloaded and installed, ie not before.

http://www.infoworld.com/article/2951214/microsoft-windows/on-the-road-to-windows-10-problems-with-forced-updates-and-kb-3073930.html

The title is true.

Also, to those who are defending this with the sloppy tool MS is offering, What happened to the importance of making interacting with my PC easy and intuitive? What is this mess I have to go through ? 

If there is an issue.. this will prevent it from installing again.. Again.. Power users will use this tool.. 90% of Windows users will have no NEED for it..  What is best for the majority is the way to go..    MOST problems for average users are because they do NOT update their systems EVER.    When I do work on people's computers..  they have 1000 updates going back YEARS sometimes..    and wonder why they have issues..  getting security updates etc is HUGE. 

SO there IS A WAY to prevent the installing of updates.. yes you have to uninstall first.. but you CAN prevent it..  so the title is NOT 100% correct..

Huh I thought most people have the pro version of windows 8? But yea, sucks for people that dont have windows 8 pro or w7 pro or above. Luckly for me, I got windows 8.1 pro in all 4 of our machines so I am good

A better windows = a better world.

Especially for me, because I make a living doing stuff on PC all the time. If MS made a misstep with Win 10, this is the one. 

I'd like to deal with windows updates the way I do on my windows 8, that's all. If there is anything that will make MS change their minds, it's the backlash from the users.
