it seems that i am CONSTANTLY being FORCED by microsoft to "update" my computer at their leisure. i never asked for their "updates", i tried turning off all things associated with their "updates", BUT THEY STILL KEEP COMING! I DONT WANT THEM, I DONT NEED THEM!
they say its for MY security? yeah, thats what ALL dictators say before they commit a mass genocide! i dont need microsoft snooping around in my comupter, because thats all their updates seem to be doing, is allowing them to forcibly access my computer.
if anyone knows of a program to block out microsoft from accessing my computer and forcing "updates" on me, then please share them!
microsoft saying they wont FORCE a new OS on people apparently doesnt include said operating system to be forcibly changed by them at any time, even if it means screwing up whatever you are doing at the time!
there needs to be some kind of action taken against microsoft about this, because it feels like i dont own my computer, but that microsoft does! i cant turn off "windows update medic service". the FACT that microsoft has a so called "service" like this, is enough of an example of how many people dont want their system "updated"!
it wouldnt surprise me if this was taken down because they dont want people to understand that this is worse than apple bricking devices because of a replacement part. if i dont have control over my device being "updated" then it is not my device, but the one who is updating it. that is not what i agreed to when i purchased this computer (not leased, but purchased!), so it is in violation of a purchase agreement and microsoft should be facing a class action lawsuit over this! but because they said they wouldnt do one forcible "update" they are getting away with this!
can anything be done about this?
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.
BTW, i forgot to mention that EVERY SINGLE TIME that microsoft "updates" my computer, it makes my audio not work, so i have to re-download their hd audio driver every single time! THEY DONT DO ANYTHING GOOD FOR MY SYSTEM AT ALL! they just add more crap to slow down my system.
seriously, does ANYONE have a way to stop them from forcing their updates on me?
been there, done that, MULTIPLE times now. but microsoft has a service called windows update medic service (which says access denied everytime i try to disable that. and im supposed to OWN my computer?) that re enables windows update everytime they want to shove one of their updates down my throat.
and yes, updates are important (sarcasm), important enough that i need to have them forced on me and screw up the audio on my rig everytime they update it! no, i dont freakin need them!

Please go to services.msc, then click on update. Then, click manual update or disable update. Reminder: Updates are important. Without them, devices can have issues.
I'm having the same issues, if you figure out something please let me know.
