I agree that is very sly Lindi. How can I change my windows setting to the same option as you so that my laptop won't automatically install Windows 10 even though |

I am still wavering as to whether to upgrade, but I have changed my windows updates to 'ask me first' or whatever it is. With my previous setting of 'automatically install recommended updates' Windows 10 will install automatically, as microsoft have changed Windows 10 to a recommended update. Sly or what lol. |

I have Windows 10 on my laptop (my choice) but not on my PC which runs Widows 7, and which will shortly be de-commissioned. |

It happened to me to a few days ago after me leaving the laptop on in another room. It seemed ok but the next day no internet and no desktop icons. I ended up phoning the tech support I subscribe to and they had trouble as they said it had corrupted some of my windows files. In the end I asked them to restore me back to windows 8.1 which they did. BUT it then started downloading windows 10 again!!! I had to phone tech support again and they have now got rid of it altogether!!! |

Yep mine downloaded very early this morning after months of me refusing entry to Windows 10 it went through on a automatic basis much to my annoyance, but after a couple of hours of fiddling it doesn't seem to bad but its still a bloody cheek downloading automatically. |
