I loaded it on my laptop, and had to take it back off, touchpad wouldn’t work correctly.

Microsoft giving away something for free makes me more suspicious than anything else...
WHY do they want us to have Windows 10 so bad?

Perhaps that is why, for the last 2 weeks, I’ve seen ‘windows update at XX%’ with the percent # moving up one or two each day. I finally, with the help of a Freeper, got into Windows and stopped the automatic updating.

Look on your C: drive, see if you find a folder called $Windows.~BT. That file is created by Windows to “assist in an upgrade to Windows 10.”

Oh, it’s a “hidden” file, so you have to turn on visibility of hidden files to see it.

For individuals who have chosen to receive automatic updates through Windows Update, we help upgradable devices get ready for Windows 10 by downloading the files they’ll need if they decide to upgrade."Helping get ready if they decide to upgrade" is not an update. Weasels.

My first boot up of Win 7 (2 PCs) I disabled ANY and ALL Windoze updates. 4 years later, with not one patch or update I’m running just as I did then. After I cleaned out all the preloaded crap that came on them.
I’m stuck with Windoz because of certain work related software I have been using for 20 years. But if/when I am forced to use Win 10, I am setting up one machine for work ONLY, and setting up another for everything else using Linux.
Microsoft wants to look at purchase orders and customer emails they will see absolutely nothing of interest. Nosy bastards.

So they want you to use automatic updates and then blame you for using automatic updates.

A friend of mine tried to load a free version of Windows 10 onto his laptop, and the laptop crashed. He still hasn’t been able to get it running again. He can’t even reboot the laptop to disable the Windows 10.

Yep it happened to my mother. She bought a new Dell Lap Top and this is what happened.
It’s jacked up her Windows 7 Pro. Unbelievable!

Just noticed that MS has been trying to update Win10 on my computer since late July. Each attempt has failed. Anyone know why it would have failed?

Does this “update” have a KB number or formal name other than “$Windows.~BT” ? I turned on my hidden files and Windows protected files to see if it was present. I don’t find it but want to know how to identify it (I have auto updates turned off) so I don’t chose to install it by mistake.

I just upgraded to Win 10. So far, it rocks! It’s like an operating system ought to be.

If someone who takes the time to verify that '$Windows.~BT' is on their machine, and did not AUTHORIZE Bill Gates / Microsoft, that would be computer trespass.
Should be a slam dunk, after many months of Microsoft in the court room(s) claiming via a "12 (b) 6 motion;" Failure to State a Claim, upon which Relief can be Granted.
I love the smell of cash in the morning. :O)
