And this is the single reason that would stop me from upgrading to Windows 10 even if I otherwise intended to upgrade. In practice it doesn't matter though, because I'm not planning to upgrade any time soon. Not a big fan of the changes, a lot of them decrease usability on regular computers.

And just for the record, my biggest gripe with forced updates is that I know I can't trust them. Even though it's called automatic updates, it could be just about anything, really. I believe Apple has removed software from iPhones without their owners' consents, and MS has used them to basically advertise Windows 10. And then there's of course the possibility of buggy updates that break things, but that's not my primary reason to dislike forced updates.
