They made this an automatic update with my friends small business PC running an accounting package. They are a Real Estate business. Their accounting package is 4 years old. The Windows "update" killed the accounting package. They were in a panic. I called the accounting package support line and they confirmed their version was not compatible with Win 10. An upgraded accounting package would cost $900. The accounting software company were not aware that this automatic "update" by MS was now in effect. They were as surprised as me.
So my friend didn't have the $900 to upgrade and therefore I Rolled back their PC to Win7. Problem solved.
So I have to ask, MS - since when is a Windows update the same thing as an entire Operating System upgrade? Ridiculous. How can such an "upgrade" be set to automatic? This policy by MS is obviously not entirely up front. It was fortunate the rollback to Win 7 works well.
After the rollback, the form appears to ask why I rolled back. Yeah well, when Win 10 breaks a critical app that really isn't that old and the "update" was surreptitiously enforced, the answer is not going to be exactly glowing. This whole thing reeks of just how disconnected MS is from its userbase. It's pretty arrogant. I would have thought MS learned from the XBox One reveal. Possibly the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing.
