Like It Or Not... You Can't Disable Windows 10 Automatic Updates

Recommended Posts

Windows 10 is all set to launch on July 29 and will also be available on USB drives for purchase in retail channels.

So, if you are planning to install Windows 10 Home, one thing you must keep in your mind – You wish or not, the software updates for Microsoft’s new operating system will be mandatory.

Microsoft is planning to make a significant change to its software update policy by "removing the option to DISABLE software updates in Windows 10 Home".

This clearly indicates that all users of Windows operating system must agree to allow Microsoft to install software updates automatically.

In Windows 8.1, users get four options for Windows Update's behavior, which include:

Download and Install Windows Updates Automatically

Download Windows Updates automatically but Choose when to Install them

Check for Updates but Choose when to Download and Install them

Never check for, Download, or Install Updates

From a Security point of view, the last option, i.e. never to download or install updates, is not at all recommended by either the company or the security experts. However, the option is still there if Windows users really need it.

In Windows 10, the options for Windows Update are cut to only two, which include:

Check, Download, Install, and Reboot automatically

Check, Download, Install automatically and then choose to Reboot

Here is the EULA to which you agree to when you accept the terms of the licensing agreement:

"Updates. The software periodically checks for system and app updates, and downloads and installs them for you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources, and Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you with those updates. By accepting this agreement, you agree to receive these types of automatic updates without any additional notice."

If this happens with the launch of Windows 10, it would be a notable change in any version of Windows OS as Microsoft has talked about Windows 10's Windows-as-a-Service approach that will receive continuous updates.

Every software program needs frequent updates, but the ability of Windows users to permanently delay Windows software updates has made it difficult for Microsoft to keep its OS platform secure and up-to-date. And the only motive behind this change is to maintain the security of its users safe.

Dar ce-ar fi sa faceti in pula mea update-urile in orice caz ca nu mai sunteti pe Windows XP sa fie inutile.

Partial agree, nu inteleg oamenii care au windows cu licenta si nu fac updateuri.E o cretinatate.

Pe de alta parte, cei care au windows piratat...?Bine,stiu ca windows 10 o sa fie gratuit o vreme chair si pentru cei care vin de pe windows anterior, piratat.DUp-aia vedem

@LLegoLLaS Sincer, nu am auzit in viata mea de vreun caz in care un user de Windows piratat a dat de probleme legate de autenticitate de la un update la altul.

Unii dintre voi trebuie sa intelegeti ca unei corporatii asa mare precum Microsoft nu-i pasa de voi. Nu existati pentru ei. Banii aia multi nu le vin din software, cum le venea in 1990, poate, le vin din advertising. Numarul de useri conteaza, si asta pentru ad exposure, nu faptul ca sunt licentiati sau nu.

Absolut tot ce se cumpara in ziua de azi, se cumpara pentru comunitatea de useri din spate, nu pentru software (vedeti Twitch, Instagram, Skype).

Aminteste-ti de "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting" prin Windows XP,Vista,7... :)).Sistemul verifica online autenticitatea.

E o diferenta intre ce scrie si ce se intampla.

Toate site-urile au in footer "All rights reserved", dar majoritatea nu stiu ce inseamna, ca sa nu zic ca nu sunt rezervate.

Tin sa te contrazic, cand activasem update-urile automate pe Windows 7, ne-stiind de faza cu windows piratat, mi-au blocat automat tot sistemul operativ. Puteam doar accesa internet explorer, atat. A trebuit sa dau format pentru ca nu mergeau activatoarele de pe net.

ON: Cred ca gasesc cumva baietii o modalitate ca sa pacaleasca sistemul de update-uri automate, vreo setare in regsvr.

Singura problema pe care o vad este conexiuea la internet. Daca am o tableta pe are o folosesc doar cu 3G/4G sau daca au un router ce imparte wifi dintr-o cartela 3G/4G, atunci e posibil sa-mi ard buzunarul pentru cateva update-uri.

In rest, updates ftw!

Nu am avut timp sa ma uit peste meniul si setarile lor insa sunt sigur ca vor avea optiune de "update via WiFi only" la fel cum e pe Android si iOS. Altfel, cu update-uri automate pe mobile data, se vor trezi cu sute de procese zilnic. Daca ai router prin cartela nu stiu cat de inteligent e sistemul incat sa isi dea seama, banuiesc ca deloc, deci userul trebuie sa isi ia precautiile necesare. Oricum.. sunt convins ca se vor gasi modalitati de stopare daca nu chiar customizare a update-urilor. Necesita putin timp doar. Eu mi-am adaugat si un safety net pe HTC sa ma stopeze automat cand mai am doar 10mb ramasi pe luna respectiva. Ma gandesc ca vor fi app similare pe Win.

Probabil daca setezi ca "Metered Connection" n-o sa iti updateze pe ea.E si in Win8.1 setarea asta
