Would you please tell me how to prevent the installation of KB3035583 in my computer and if it is already installed, how to remove it? Also, are there other updates that we need to be concerned about that enable this behaviour?
KB3035583 now appears as an Important update in Windows Update and is checked which means it will be automatically installed if the user does not uncheck it. If automatic update is set, it will install without intervention.
There are credible articles that say that Microsoft either has installed or will install changes to my computer that will enable Microsoft to use it as an advertising platform and then install Windows 10 without first obtaining an informed decision to do so. I truly hope this is not true.
On behalf of my clients and their 162 Windows "consumer" computers, I must tell you that we do not grant Microsoft or any other vendor the right to do this. When other Windows players do this, we regard it as malware and take great care to remove it.
Microsoft got to where it is today by selling Windows. We have spent decades learning how to use Windows and billions of dollars buying Windows computers and Windows software. We own these systems. They are ours, not Microsoft's.
Windows Update has earned a huge trust. We trust Microsoft to use Windows Update to keep our computers safe and secure. When Patch Tuesday comes along we install all the updates that Microsoft says are "important." We assume those to be either plugging a security leak or fixing a software error.
We all hope Windows 10 will be something we will want. We will carefully review and consult trusted advisors before we install Windows 10. We have seen Windows 8 and rejected it. Windows 8 is a bad product we did not choose.
Automatically installing Windows 10 on our computers would be a severe abuse of a well-earned trust. Changing our computers to enable them to become advertising platforms is also an abuse.
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.
Microsoft has just released yet another Windows 10 nag/coercion patch (KB3150513).
If you see this patch in your Windows Update list, be sure to HIDE it. Then make sure your Windows Update settings are set as follows:
Important Updates: set to Never check for updates (when you are ready to install updates, just click the button that says "Check for Updates").
Recommended Updates: UNCHECK this option: Give me recommend updates the same way I receive Important Updates
I would recommend the following video: Disable Windows 10 Spying - Privacy & Security
Let me know what you think...
Thank you, thank you and thank you for your comment about the possibility of Microsoft abusing the privilege given to it as a company for us as consumers of his products. Speaking the truth based on trust in vital. In today's business, consumers and people seem to have no right anymore. Our government are already bought by big companies and our elected leaders and their ministerial branches don't care about us and don't protect us as part of their job anymore, and they don't adhere to moral responsibilities for the people and society.
I had my Windows 7 updated to Windows 10 after incessant request to update windows 10. I did but after that I started having so much problem with my computer, my windows live developed problem and started freezing after a minute of starting it. Some of my application stopped working.
After a month of going through **** using it, I wanted to revert back to Windows 7, and I found out that it would be impossible. I found that consumers have only one month option to uninstall windows 10 which I missed by a day. The option given after a month was ridiculous. You can get back to Windows 7 by starting from the scratch going back to OEM with restore disc losing all your documents and applications. If your computer was custom, you will have to delete everything by formatting and possibly partitioning your drive from start. The second option was not losing windows 10 but losing all your applications and files as well.
As my computer was custom, I backed my files on removable disk and used the first option because I never want to have Windows 10 again. After wiping and formatting my hard drive, I installed window 7. The first problem I encountered was that I could not activate my windows7 with the original product key. I spoke with Microsoft and they told me all the gibberish story they always say, and I should buy another license. I had no choice other than buying the product key again.
The second problem was all my office documents could not open because the file extersion has added .PFILE at the end on all my office 2010 files. I researched online and foud out that the file (.pfile) was created by microsoft as a protection file. I don't know why they did that and all the files are mine which were documents I created and saved. I have tried my best and no one could help me. Now those files are lost.
The other problem is that I just got email from Outlook saying that I should use Windows mail on Windows 10 which I don't have anymore because it ruined my life. When I had Windows10 I tried Windows mail and found out that it limits your fredom to choose and how you navigated the application or add other non Microsoft emails. The email I got from Outlook says that they would phase out Windows Mail Live in July 2016 and I should either use Windows mail on Windows10 as wrote earlier or go online and use Outlook.com for my Microsoft email. This is another way Microsoft is trying to control consumers as noted earlier. Microsolft is now turning into Google to get hold of her customers and manipulate them. this concept came, I believe when the idea of Cloud became popular meaning that consumers have no right or ownership, and should all be at the mercy of Microsoft and other software companies.
It is very sad, if it were 35 year ago or before that, the government would have stepped in to question these behaviors; unfortunately, big businesses now own our government and the media that are supposed to report on these abuse and evil acts.
Great post and all so true
