no Less...I only need to see the number KB3035583 to know that it is not a security update...but a sneaky attempt to get me to load windows 10.
Had I recognised the number I would certainly not have installed it today. I thought that hiding the update would stop it from appearing......but No. That would be far too simple.

As I said, knowing what Windows is like (not just Windows 10) every update from now on will link you to Windows 10 update they want you to use it, they will eventually force you to use it. As I said earlier in the thread, resistance is futile. unless you change your OS.
:(
 
Less, I remember what you said...and yes at some point I will not be able to obtain a PC that does not run Windows 10.
Why do they want me to use it? Furthermore, if it is so damn good why is it free?
some people will accept anything if you tell them it is free...and usually I like free things.
I just don't want this and will hold off having it for as long as possible.

As for changing my OS...well, that might be one way out of it.Will save up for a Mac OS perhaps:)

If I could afford another mac I'd have one without hesitation, get the empty beer bottles back to the off licence,it will clear your front room and get you the money you need.

Less, we have no beer bottles to return(ah, those were the days).
Daughter has a Mac OS and although it took her a while to get used to it she would not willingly go back to Windows.
When I got my newer machine....?She asked why I hadn't gone for a mac......I told her it was purely on cost. I was being frugal.
 
Aren't Apple just as bad as Microsoft for trying to force you to update, my phones been nagging me for ages and no permanent way of turning stopping it.
 
Yes, I think they are.....except they don't(as far as I am aware) cloak their change in operating system as an update.

My security system highlights the fact that I have not downloaded an important update every time windows updates come online.....and because it sees it as a security threat this makes me a bit twitched. Well, it did. Now I know that this security update is nothing of the sort I will check it out and then dismiss it.
It is this underhand way of going about getting 'converts' that I am strongly suspicious of.
 
Just gone through all this post and thought of a couple things not yet mentioned. When Windows 8 came out it caused a storm world wide due to its flaws, several countries refused to entertain it and wrote their own OS (widely discussed on the internet). Windows 10 was initially designed as an OS for mobile phones (again from internet). I do especially like all the comments from Less and agree with him. PS I have not left WindowsXP

apple are worse they pester you to install updates that when you do make your phone behave badly so you think you need a new phone

the amount for people i have helped backdate their i phones is a lot and once backdated the phones have worked properly again

apple are way more sneaky and know their customers in that they will buy garbage for a premium price and wont ask questions as to why their phone dosnt work properly especially if they get the update released just before a new model phone is announced

Exactly the reason I don`t want to update my phone, I`m in the last month of my contract and I know for sure that as soon as I update the software it will start playing up, it`s so annoying though, every day it pesters me to update.:mad: This will be my last ever I phone because of it.
 
Well yesterday Windows did an update.
I weeded the KB3035583 out of the updates and set it to do the updates I wanted.
This it did.......it did a restart and what do you think?
It had loaded the update I didn't want.....so for the 11th time I have uninstalled KB3035583.
It is a right royal pest....plus my security system keeps jogging my arm to tell me I have security updates not downloaded...and when I look it is the Windows 10 download.
Yes Less.....I know you told me so!

It gives me no pleasure in this case to be correct.:(

That looks nothing like my screen Less.:)
I only have one post it note on my screen.
It says 'Avoid Windows 10 - don't download KB3035583'
And I actually don't need the reminder....the number of this update is burned into my brain!

That isn't supposed to demonstrate your screen now, it's the way it will look after you are finally forced to use windows 10, the post it's are there so you don't have to look at windows 10 on your screen.
