While there is, indeed, merit to their argument (IMO), they had better get 10's of thousands, not a few hundred, people to sign up for the class action suit, or else it's going nowhere.

No backups?
Windows 10 - Quietly Logging EVERY KEYSTROKE You Type And Sending It To Microsoft (How To Stop It)
Windows 10 has been pretty stable for me. Although I had a recent issue with sleep mode (lazy SOB refused to wake up - lol). Lot better than Win 8, although that’s not saying much. Loved Win 7. And of course Win XP.
My upgrade to Window’s 10 did not affect any data that I know of.
It was pretty smooth, and I don’t regret it.
However, if someone did lose data as a result of switching to 10, and it was important business related data, then I expect that Microsoft is responsible for that.
But class action law suits are worthless to everyone except the lawyers.
After 11 years, I finally got a notice about receiving payment for the Hurricane Katrina lawsuit.
229 bucks, baby WOOOOOOO!!!!!
That windfall is going to allow me to fund 75% of a new pair of inline skates... and a new house!
Well not so much a new house.
And I don’t have the money in hand yet.
"Customers had the option not to upgrade to Windows 10.
The screenshot says otherwise. It allowed no option to quit the upgrade process, only a slight say in when it would happen.
yep ,Oh My ,yawn
Contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiffs. Anyone who consents to a major upgrade and does not back up their programs and data before proceeding cannot recover for damage to their programs and data. MS is right about this one.
[[”What we heard back most explicitly was that you want more control over when Windows 10 installs updates.”]]
No- what you heard ‘most explicitly’ was that users wanted compelled control over updates- not ‘more control’ - we want to be able to choose whether we install an update or not- giving us a ‘choice’ to delay installing updates, with no control over deciding not to install it if we choose- is not what we were asking for-
And the comments you defiantly heard ‘most explicitly’ were requests to stop the idiotic spyware/phone home crap-
Are Ya listening MS?
how does win10 whack the hardware ?
For some reason this inspired me to load Brave onto my Mac, it’s about a zillion times faster loading FR than Firefox. So far so good...
The main legal elements contract law and the “buyer beware necessity” requiring due diligence on the buyers part, but together they require some necessary level of transparency in the contract, and in what is available for the buyer to address due diligence on their own part.
I think the Windows 10 update process failed in the later and the former. It was really a “pig in the poke” without the ability to truly see the pig until it already had control of your machine.
However, there was an easy solution that was available.
And yet, again, Microsoft tried to NOT make that fact readily apparent (I had to research on the Internet to even know the option existed) and DID NOT MAKE that solution a PROMINENT feature it told the consumer about in the beginning and as part of the notifications in the update material.
If the consumer exercised the backup and restore utility within the first 30 days of the update, there remained in the system a restore point image, saved by the update process, just before the update. Restoring to that point would bring everything in the OS back to the point just before the update. It would have given someone back their Win 7-8 system. But after the 30 days, that restore point was deleted and no longer available.
Beyond the first thirty days, such a restore to before Win 10 still existed, IF the consumer themselves had exercised the backup and restore feature, creating a restore point image at an earlier time. It could have been used to at least restore the OS to that point. I always do one just before and after every Windows update and every program/software change.
Again, Microsoft, like all the arrogant technologists is intentionally NOT fully transparent about their products and helping you NOT have, use, install, keep, run features and functions you don’t want.
Even now in Win 10, they don’t tell you, prominently, that you can get rid of Cortana, permanently. You merely find its file folder where it is installed and then delete it. After you reboot it is no longer there and “updates” don’t reinstall it; they merely bypass it because it is no longer there.
I had a hell of a time with the 1067 Anniversary update. I tried over and over for months. I had added a SSD. I ended up having to unplug D:, an HDD.
Post Upgrade my D: was changed to F:.
“Knowledge” bump !!
Microsoft’s behavior in the marketplace has been dictatorial, brutal, and uncaring, for a very long time, but you seem to be casually dismissive of that behavior, and the injurious effects it’s caused to millions of individuals for so long, and particularly during this current roll-out of the Win 10 operating system.
It doesn’t seem to bother you that this company, which unfortunately wields an inordinate level of power over ordinary people’s lives, has an increasingly toxic relationship with the broad public.
That’s just disturbing.
Microsoft has no integrity.
When they force fed Win10 to its customers and clients, they then forced companies to spend time and money either relearning or repairing their equipment.
So, in addition to lost data, there was also unnecessary lost time and lost productivity as companies either adjusted to Win10 or from undoing the damage forced upon them reverting back to their normal before the update.
I've been using their stuff long before Windows was invented, but I don't trust Microsoft's products anymore. I don't trust the company anymore.
But I doubt they'll miss me much.
There aren't that many other choices for consumers, so Microsoft can do as it pleases and people will still end up buying Microsoft.

Cost me over 10k in upgrades I didn’t want and a good week of down time when one of my machines was forced upgraded. There was no option when machines were left on overnight. And no... Their roll back did not work. FUMS
