Won't fix anything, just shifts any bugs/issues 6 months away - aka kicking the can down the road.

Can't wait for new Windows features and preinstalled apps says no one ever.

As opposed to all the people we see here that want WIn 11 right now.
Oh yes, there have been many.

So after six years Microsoft is finally doing what IT managers, and a number of other people, have been begging them to do since day one?

ya know....how about letting us have option to NOT auto update?

WIN10 is old now let the users finally have the option.

WIN10 is old now let the users finally have the option.

That was the case with Win 8.1 and earlier.
People disabled updates, often for misunderstood reasons, or at the prompt of people that think they knew better than MS.

Result? Massive botnets and ransomware infections.
MS was lambasted for this.

Enter Win 10, with forced autoupdates, in hopes to mitigate this.

Result?
MS is lambasted for this.


So, which should it be? Auto or no?

Rounded corners, man, rounded corners! Plus they moved stuff around, which is almost just as exciting. Start button moved from left to middle? Mind blown. It's like living in the future, today!

which should it be?

user choice.
let it be on by default but have OPTION for user to disable it.

literally no downside.

That's exactly how it was before Win 10.

Leaving less than clueful users at the mercy of their neighbors son Jimmy (because you know he's really good with computers), and he turned it off for us...😉

Ladies and germs...may I present the WannaCry v2 virus.
MS published a patch for that 2 months before it went public.
The unpatched (courtesy of lil Jimmy) were pretty much the only ones compromised. But that does affect ALL of us.


I get what you're saying.
But 'user choice' == turned off, whether they know what they're doing or not.
There's your downside.
