Windows 10 Update... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Just leave us Windows 7 people alone.
I don’t need anymore ‘improvements’.
Every single time I turn my laptop off, there are Updates it wants to load. Trouble is, these nightly updates take forever to upload. Some evenings, it takes so very long to finish updates that I have to manually shut the computer down. Otherwise, this may last all night long!

It was not always like this. Not till after I had something else repaired at shop last June. Too expensive to keep running back to that shop.

That 1803 which came out last week would not install and I believe it was attempted some 50 times!! However, tonight, it installed without any issues.

There were only two updates, the above and also one for flash player as of early this evening.

Having gone the route of upgrading to Windows10 and experiencing many of the problems described I hope this solves these problems. I have lost way too.much time particularly with the Bluetooth headset issues where the only solution I figured out wasI to close everything and restart the computer to reconnect. I also use three screens in addition to my workstation laptop and have had problems described. Pray this works.

I remember the October Windows 10 update.
It was especially bad on my Windows phone.
The email app, Outlook, would start and immediately close.
It was 2 updates later (2 weeks) that the email app came back to life.
And it wasn’t just my phone. Several guys at work also have Windows phones and they saw the same thing.

I don't have "real" internet, I use my smartphone as a hot spot. I also have limited data, so I tell W10 my connection is metered.
It still runs updates, using up all my data, if I let it. I constantly check the win update service to make sure it is disabled, as it keeps re-enabling itself and starting up again! I still like Windows, but I hate Microsoft...

Earlier in the week I could tell something was going on with Windows updates.

My Win10 tablet rebooted 6 different times throughout the day. I could tell because I would notice a different start-up/log-in picture and I would have to re-enter my password.

It is aggravating when Win10 does that because it closes any open programs.

The longer I have the Win10 tablet, the more I hate Win10. And I primarily use the tablet to listen to online radio because it is easier to any real computing on the Win7 laptop and desktop.

We seem to share a sense of dread regarding pending doom.
