Microsoft to push automatic Windows 10 upgrades in 2016

Fx · Dec 17, 2015

It looks like Microsoft is gonna keep pushing us to accept their data collection and back doors. I will eventually turn to alternative OS solutions for all of my needs. With the advent of SteamOS, it looks like my gaming needs will be addressed in time which is my primary concern. My private workstations on my personal network shouldn't be readily accessible to MS (or anyone else) for whatever undisclosed intentions (whether harmless or malicious) without my explicit consent.

Thank you. I will definitely install this at my house and see if I can implement it at work (300 workstations). That popup is driving everyone crazy.

I have all the telemetry stuff in my hardware and software firewalls and it also blocks the gwx and such as well

Will post the entries and such here soon

Seems to me just disabling win 10 firewall does the job with the auto updates

, although you going allow them at some point for updates you want though

.

Hweeg - here. Note: deleting this in 24 hours PM me for more details.

Code:

Removed since 24 hr limit has been reached PM me for the goods now do not want MS to catch along and defeat the method

Hi guys,
Please try GWX Control Panel for that.

Melvis · Dec 18, 2015

Thanks MS im only going to get angry customers yelling at me now asking WHY? and I have to explain it all to them to calm them down, yay.....

AsRock · Dec 18, 2015

WOW my firewall just blocked this thread and it's some thing to do with these 2 sites, renamed the last part ( normally .com ).
settings-win.data.microsoft.cxx
vortex-win.data.microsoft.cxx

Depends if they are at work or at home. Most people I meet thinks Windows 10 is cool. Yes, I have heard those exakt words a bunch of times now. Office users though, they are probably not as happy... I know I'm not. If they're big enough they have IT guys, but the small shops that rely on specilized software to do the things they do (like where I work)? Then it thoroughly sucks.

@remixedcat
list goes to blocklist of firewall right? if yes, why local host too?

remixedcat · Dec 18, 2015

that was from the person's I got it from's raw filter list on a custom firewall.

just take the 0.0.0.0s out and then import/export or copy n paste into the FW.

Also is for HOSTS files as well.

i put 10 on my 5yr old toshiba tecra a11 laptop today. works very well and all hardware works fine. I5 520m/4gb ddr3/250gb hdd, intel wifi/ bluetooth.

Hi Just about to do same. Did you use all Win7 drivers?

FordGT90Concept · Jun 1, 2016

If the driver is not available for Windows 10, try 8.1, then 8, then 7, then Vista. XP and down will not work.

Ya know, I wonder, they made an almost stripped bare version of win 10 for the rhasberry Pi, or so I heard. So why cant you use that OS for PC's?Or maybe start with that version and re-build it up into a workable OS for full PC's.

If someone smart enough can strip out windows update completely and so you would only be able to get your updates via the catalog....

Anyone remember the "Lite" version of XP and vista? did someone attempt that with 7, 8, or 10?

IN Microsofts Eyes that would amount to Piracy.

It's Windows 10 IoT (formerly Windows Embedded 8). Raspberry Pi has an ARM processor in it which Microsoft killed for Windows non-Embedded.

So, no, not going to happen...at all.

Mussels · Jun 2, 2016

think of the IoT version as a totally different OS, with an Win 10 theme on it. It's more like windows phone.

There is a lite version of W7 64bit, yes.

Mussels · Jun 2, 2016

i do need to get my hands on a lite version of 7 with all the updates pre-installed, this 12+ hours of scanning for updates is a major drag for older systems (got a few laptops where the wifi toggle breaks in W10)

Not really, they have been very lenient towards nlite and such in the past. Now that nlite supports Windows 10 I wonder if that'll continue longterm though...

Mussels · Jun 2, 2016

just downloaded NTlite which is the latest version, looks to be semi commercial with a pro version now.

eh, NTlite locks down everything i want to use to the pro version :/

that'll do it

someone should make a forum thread about it.

Jetster · Jun 2, 2016

I know they want to but I bet it doesn't happen. Too many issues with OEMs running crappy when the upgrades happen and then the warranty will have to fix it. The back lash will be huge
