    About the backport of telemetry and other spying services to win 7 and 8.1, and how to disable/uninstall:

    With new big update of Windows 10 Microsoft reenabled tracking for users who disable it

    Diagnostics Tracking Service (DiagTrack) had been redone and renamed into Connected User Experiences and Telemetry to avoid big press coverage.

    Note - Microsoft is now expected to deliver new tracking services with usual weekly updates.

    KB3035583 is being updated regularly now by Microsoft, they added background processes that check if you used reg keys change to remove annoying Windows 10 update requests and put them back if you do.

    All this is troubling, what will you suggest? Is there a strategy?

    And for strategy VK?

    And for strategy VK?

    Well, this is strategic task, for tactical one - just propagate proper ideas and use small utilities that disable this shit.

    Start this week, Microsoft is re-categorizing Windows 10 as a "recommended update" in its Windows Update system. That means the Windows 10 upgrade process will download and start automatically on thousands of machines

    Watch out.

  • Amadeus5D2Amadeus5D2

    Thanks Vitaliy, ... sorry to say: these bastards.

    Microsoft started to include Windows 10 tray update shit even in priority security updates by hiding this part.

    I'm on the same boat, its like having ghosts in the house, programs uninstall by itself, plugins disappear, hacked software with revoked licenses, movies deleted by mystery....

    Its scary

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Its scary

    It is capitalism.

    Go to any high populated third world countries and it is much more scary.

    Microsoft also improves their "smart" filter fast by indicating anything that can come from not very legal source as presenting threat or just rejecting completely to download it.

    THIS IS USEFULL

    Ive had 3 different unrelated machines now install the wrong integrated intel video driver leaving only a black screen on reboot. Driver updates should never be auto updated, and never installed with other updates at the same time

  • cls105cls105

    Ive cut 2 projects on win 10 w 980 ti 1 project on premiere and the other on media composer 8.5. Win 10 works perfectly so far. Bm intensity card.

    New thing

    Update KB3035583 (Update installs Get Windows 10 app in Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1) for many people after update just install Windows 10 without asking anything.

    Also check KB3044374 and KB3123862.

  • Amadeus5D2Amadeus5D2

    I disabled some weeks ago windows update (win 7 ultimate) on my pc. is this the best choice in this case?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    The Anniversary Update is also designed to make app purchasing and discovery easier for teachers. Schools can purchase apps and deploy them in bulk.

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    When these guys were sittin' around the tent makin' all this up, why did they pick ten? Why ten? Why not nine, or eleven? I'll tell you why. Because ten sounds important. Ten sounds official. They knew if they tried eleven, people wouldn't take them seriously. People would say, "What're you kiddin' me? The Eleven Commandments? Get the fuck outta here!"

    But ten! Ten sounds important. Ten is the basis for the decimal system; it's a decade. It's a psychologically satisfying number: the top ten; the ten most wanted; the ten best-dressed. So deciding on Ten Commandments was clearly a marketing decision.

    Also fits Windows 10 perfectly

    New updates

    Two choices below are same, in fact, one just schedule update to be made later.

    Third choice - windows closing now also means "upgrade now". Yep.

    A forced update for Win7 users?

  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Well, update time passed, for now. Of course you can still upgrade for free if you tell them that you are disabled (and who are not?).

    More news - since version 1607 of Windows 10 if you did fresh install Microsoft start requiring Microsoft signature on all drivers. For example it means that if you are small firm or developer you must now pay for this and include this in costs and include waiting time also.

    The producers of operating systems should be encouraged, or regulated, for example, to block downloads of copyright infringing material,
