Last week Microsoft MSFT confirmed every Windows 10 update will mandatory and installed automatically. This was met with a hostile reception from Forbes readers with over 100 comments on my news article voicing their concern. And now some of those fears have been realised…
With just four days left before launch, Windows 10’s policy of automatic updates has run into its first major problem and it is causing many PCs to stop working correctly.

Apple fanboys will be loving this news.
An update came out last night that causes internet explorer to crash and also causes boot loops when you go to control panel and uninstall..and since these updates are on auto update you automatically get them if you want them or not
You realize the people griping, since it isn’t go-live day, are running the technical preview, right?
Anyway, “Fortunately, an Nvidia spokesperson had some positive news to share. “We have a fix for this issue in our next driver coming next week for the launch of Windows 10.”

Who knows maybe Windows 20 will be a good one....
Will be watching and observing for a while before any upgrade from Windows 7.
Unless you’ve got the same info MS has, its impossible to intelligently decide whether to update or not.
Do a web search using the string: “Windows 10 turn off auto update” - you’ll find several articles on how to turn off auto-updates for Windows Update. Remember to back up your registry before altering it!
All my Windows 10 updates are fine.
Fortunately, l don’t use Internet Explorer.
Automatic updates should always be OPTIONAL.
Took me years to figure out why my Windows box spontaneously rebooted some nights, wiping out whatever work I had left up unsaved. Culprit: automatic updates, defaulted on, “needs reboot” done without asking.
Staggeringly condescending to user’s common behavior and needs.
They aren’t going to issue service packs for 10.
It’s going to be ongoing updates.

No. Those of us in exile at Apple would prefer Microsoft got its act together.
“Last week Microsoft MSFT confirmed every Windows 10 update will mandatory and installed automatically.”

You do know you can schedule your updates to suit your needs.
Go to setting, updates and change your schedule, simple as pie.
it’s not mandatory...you have to request it and get on the cue.
Linux or Apple.
