I installed Windows 8.1 Preview some time ago (8.1 sucked), and later found out that upgrading to Windows 8.1 RT would force me to re-install everything. I wasn't okay with this, so I just decided to keep Windows 8.1 Preview (even if, understandably, support would later be cut); however, now it seems Microsoft made the crazy decision to FORCE everyone to upgrade BY RESTARTING THEIR PC EVERY 2 HOURS! WTH???? Anyway, so now they are literally forcing me to re-install everything, but what is worse is I can't even upgrade! The Windows store isn't working properly, and the download never finishes. The computer RESTARTS before it has a chance to finish (it's over 3GB), which apparently causes the download to restart (THE ONE TIME IT APPEARED TO BE WORKING).
Anyway, I don't think this type of behavior from Microsoft would stand up in court (Windows could seriously be classified as MALWARE at this point), so if anyone is connected to some good lawyers, I think this would make for a great class action lawsuit...
BTW, I seem to remember a virus that would restart computers too...
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Is there a lawsuit for windows 7 users who have windows 10 forced on there pc. It's destroying my Pc. I live on a fixed income and this is bs. I just can't go down to a computer tech to have it done for me. this is wrong of Microsoft to force this on to my pc.
Apparently I've been kicked off the thread. Communism!
Totally ripped off by Microsoft. I'm in Australia, and was offered no support unless I pay an additional $120 AUD. I can't access their supposed store, just get either a blank page of white, or a message saying to connect to the internet (Even though I'm connected} I've been a 20yrs plus veteran of Microsoft, and have had enough of this. Was using Vista, and now because of hardware problems am now saddled with a useless high maintenance operating system which doesnt support half of my perfectly good and operable hardware. If I'm going to have to battle with not only learning a new system, but also a system which doesnt allow me access to their own "Store" {ho ho, joke that is!}, then I'm off to Apple who are truly interested in servicing the customers needs. SHAME ON YOU MICROSOFT, SHAME ON YOU.
Join the crowd. No one has a solution to stop the font from changing size without any movement on my part to do so. They can offer no solution for pages jumping around and websites changing without prompt. It is so shaky and unstable that its a chore to do anything on here. I had a problem with set up that wound up taking 10 hours and $200 to clear up, thanks to Microsoft. I can't copy and print my fax to Microsoft, AVG and HP because it is a PDF that I faxed to their CEO"S. They need to be held responsible for creating a disaster system. I have two fairly new computers here. Maybe I should take them in and see if I can trade them for a good discount on a MAC!
I am here because I was wondering if there was a law suit against Microsoft. I wish there was one.
I purchased a Lenovo lap top and it had Windows 8 installed. Today you can't buy a machine without it. I had troubles when I switched from DSL to Fios. Lost wifi connections constantly. I (can't remember how) found a solution to this problem. All was fine for a few months until Microsoft said it was shutting me down for updates. Little did I know it was to install Windows 8.1. Once again my machine loses wifi connections since this upgrade. I have been to forums galore, updated my wifi driver, disconnected Bluetooth, did that netsch thing and still no luck staying wirelessly connected. Microsoft help line, Lenovo help line is of NO help and yes, there are companies who will take your money and never fix the problem. All because Microsoft doesn't know how to fix it themselves. Meanwhile us poor schlubs are sitting with frustrating computers and can't get our work done.
Thanks for letting me rant ..... doesn't help tho... still p....ed off.
