I don't read that as saying yes to optional updates: once I tell Windows to search for updates it starts searching, then downloading, then updating on its own, taking an awful long time to do it. Like two days of updating and rebooting several times. I take "optional" to mean an update that I can refuse to do, that it actively asks me whether I want it or not. That did not happen. I wrote that there are optional SETTINGS (read it again). One does not have to enable IDK updates in any version of Win10, which makes them "optional". That has nothing to do with whatever you are referring to as "optional updates". I'm still running WinXP (home) and Win 7 (work) to support legacy s/w and an accounting program.Â* Both on Macs under a virtualizer. From what I keep reading about Win 10 I shudder to think I may have to go there some day... (different "editions" with different abilities and limitations, arbitrary updates (just when you have to get something else done...) Many people don't understand Win10 and keep treat it like it's an updated version of XP. As a result they create most of the problems they have for themselves and then whine about it on the internet. I've used and supported several machines running Win10 for over 2-1/2 years without a single problem on any of them because I saw what was coming and how to manage it during the Windows 8.x years. So, even though Win10 is my least favorite version of the OS, I can't say that it's functionally any worse than earlier versions. FWIW, there have been different "editions with different abilities and limitations" since Windows 3.1, so that also isn't anything new. -- best regards, Neil |
