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?

    Too bad you are wrong! Win. 10 is the most secured version ever. Win. XP is outdated with no security fixes.

    No worries, I reported you for your crap. MS never forces any apps to be installed. They never know what apps we need.

    "you seem to be misunderstanding me bulldog, its the updates that are CAUSING the issues! "

    If the updates are causing the issues, why don't they cause issues for my computer?

    "and just what exactly determines what motherboard you can have to run windows 10? or what cpu? what is specific about any  as far as i know, the only possible issue there could be from a "hardware" compatibility standpoint, is if your gpu does not support the latest version of directX."

    If that's the case, what you know doesn't go very far, I'm afraid.

    There will always be some people who don't 'get it' and don't feel that they should have to get it. After a while, the only thing that the rest of us can do is shake their hand and say best wishes.

    you seem to be misunderstanding me bulldog, its the updates that are CAUSING the issues! get an update in the middle of the night, then oh, why doesnt my sound work anymore? oh, microsoft did an update and now i have to download the correct drivers again because the ones they "updated" to DONT FREAKIN WORK!

    but yeah, thats a "learn how to use your computer issue" isnt it?!

    and just what exactly determines what motherboard you can have to run windows 10? or what cpu? what is specific about any  as far as i know, the only possible issue there could be from a "hardware" compatibility standpoint, is if your gpu does not support the latest version of directX. more often than not, the compatibility issues are from software changes, mainly being microsoft changing the drivers on your working system to ones that they think will work better, but end up bricking your rig. but yeah, i'll just "learn to use my computer better" and the issues will just go away! just what do you deem to be "proficient at using a computer" bulldog?

    I'm right there with you.
