The way Windows Update currently forces Windows 10 upgrades and updates on you is bad.
I’m a pretty pro-Microsoft kinda-guy.
I have my Linux partitions and an antiquated iPad 2, but I always come back to Windows.
Windows 10 isn’t without its issues.
This we all understand, know, and have largely worked through.
#WindowsUpdateRuinsLives
This is a hashtag born of immense frustration.
Microsoft hasn’t exactly endeared itself to potentially upgrading users, either.
Even those using Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 haven’t been able to escape the upgrade to Windows 10.
Without further ado, here are some of the most frustrating aspects of Windows Update in 2016.
Because It Happens Without Warning
The first major gripe is the horrific update without warning.
And that is when you’ve actually updated to the operating system through your own choosing.
The Workaround
You do have some options…but not many.
Windows 10 was always billed as a free upgrade for existing Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 users.
This is a really important one.
However, before you eviscerate the upgrade from your system, check ourUltimate Activation FAQ for Windows 10.
He is not the only user to have experienced this issue.
It is still the case.
when you land upgraded, you’re still not safe from automatic updates.
Windows 10 comes with theoption to designate Metered Connections.
Head toSettings > connection & Internet > WiFi.Underneath your listed Wi-Fi connections are theAdvanced Options.Set the toggle toOn.
Note that to select a metered connection, you’ll actually have to be connected to that connection.
Again, another system with potential that seems poorly executed.
This time, there isn’t one.
I like Windows 10.
