Seems no matter what Microsoft does, somebody complains about it.

This looks to me like Microsoft has the right intent, but it's not coming off as well as it might.

Microsoft admits to disabling third-party antivirus code if Win 10 doesn't like it

That's not newsworthy. Malware's always been programmed to try to disable to your security software.

I've never heard of any issues with Norton Security 2017, which is the security suite recommended by Symantec for Windows 10--including the latest Creators Update edition.

Microsoft has been performing “dirty tricks” on competitors since day one.

Gates and Balmer and their cohorts belong in jail.

Well, mostly during upgrading major versions of 10: example to the next creators update Windows will try and disable 3rd party anti-virus during the upgrade process. If you don’t first- there is a chance the upgrade won’t work. We’re running into this while building a custom upgrade task sequence for Windows 7 to 10, and McAfee throwing a wrench in it.

Or use Linux instead. I have run it since 2009 on many computers and have yet to be affected by any virus or malware. For the truly paranoid, boot your computer from a Linux thumb drive. In retrospect, Windows security (or the lack of it) was such nonsense.

Creators Update, v1703.

Windows 10 decided to upgrade my new company laptop (joined to a domain, so it shouldn’t have done that without my permission!) - an HP Zbook 15u G3. Brand new, up to date hardware, and with the exception of my Kaspersky AV and a few tools, only MS software.

The update broke all of my network devices, with the exception of Blue Tooth! Thank goodness I was able to roll it back to v1607.

Geez!

Mark

sooo many reasons not to like windows 10 now- What next? If we type something MS doesn’t like or agree with they won’t allow us to post?
