“Sounds like that unwanted update to 10 reminder is only on Win 8 machines”
All but a few of the machines I deal with are W7 ones, and they all had it and most multiple times since MS keeps re-releasing the nagware and spyware “updates”.
Odd, been running 7 for over 1.5 years and would know nothing about 10 other than from reading threads like this on FR as i do not bother with tech sites.
I’m running W7Pro on my “Big” ‘puter at home (home business CAD and finance plus the usual email and online services-—encrypted, of course) and have been experiencing some funny system shutdowns that may be related.
If I leave the box running while I’m out of the house for over a couple of hours, I come back to my login page and a note from Windoze sez “There was a Windows problem which forced a shutdown and we’ll tell you what’s going on when we figure it out” (or words to that effect).
I’ve had Update shut off and all the Win10 nagging crippled since just about the time this crap started. Don’t see or hear anything at all about either one, but I’m beginning to think that “someone” is trying to sneak some update/W10 stuff into my system and my homebrew security system is blocking enough that “they” just shut down my Windows and go away.
For now.
Jeez, I’m getting sick of this sh**.
Any more of my time gets taken away from my work to play these sillya$$ games and I may just start invoicing the bastards. At my Very Finest Premium rate.
