"... So let’s see: The Windows 10 upgrade downloads its bits to your PC without your knowledge. It changes your computer’s configuration. By default, Windows 10 collects advertising data and personal information. And if you try to stop the upgrade by doing what Microsoft tells you to do with every other application — click the X on its dialog box — it installs anyway.
Sounds like malware to me, malware that forces a Windows 10 upgrade ..."

I thank the gods for giving me the wisdom to completely disable WU over a year ago by toasting to Bacchus while I check that it remains disabled from time to time (you never know with these bloody malware providers).

... BTW how did you arrange it so that the video would start at the desired time? Pretty cool.
Just add &t=XXmYYs to the video url, where XX is the minutes and YY the seconds you want the video to start at.
Or add #t=ZZZZ , where ZZZZ is the total amount of seconds to the point where you want the video to start at.
In this case,

Thanks Formiller.
Some epic comments:
QuoteI am 71 years old. I have worked in IT since 1976. I am regarded by my friends as an "IT Guru". Since August 2015, I have had to perform 51 "rollbacks" from Win 10 to Win 7.
Also, I have:
- Installed "Never10", and other software, on another 63 PCs/Laptops to stop the Microsoft Behemoth.
- Stopped Windows auto update and disabled 31 "security" updates specifically designed to "sneak" Win 10 onto said machines.EULAs may be used as a defence BUT, if forced upgrades cost lives, cost business losses, cost bankruptcy, etc., then Nadella and Microsoft MUST be held to account.
No amount of weaselly Lawyer talk should be allowed to interfere with class action compensation !!
it's like someone changing your underwear while you sleep!
Been repairing computers professionally since before DOS. This is a horrendous mess for me and my customers. Call Win10 what it is... Malware! Help... E.F.F. ..... S.O.S. Help !!!
Windows is now officially malware
As a software developer with previous experience working at MSFT, I firmly believe that what MSFT is doing with these forced downgrades is unethical and further more I believe it to be an illegal form of electronic computer trespass, as people clearly do not want this and do not accept the terms given to them for the downgrade to windows 10, the removal of their bought and paid for software, or the incompatibility issues and lost money created from the forced upgrade.
IT technician. I would NEVER install Windows 10 in it's current state, or recommend anyone do so.
Malware is malware whether from an unknown provider or Microsoft.
Nobody has the rights to my system but me, so F.U.M.S.
I want no part of the lying, spying, datagrabbing moloch MS has become.2 -

Microborg can not be trusted at all anymore, since about a year ago or so anything from them must be treated as malware.

If the antivirus positive worries you, or you don't trust patches as a rule, here's how to do it manually:

Microsoft Botches Up UEFI Support for Windows 7 on ASUS Motherboards
"Microsoft inadvertently bricked a vast number of PCs running Windows 7, by changing the priority of an erroneous software update. Earlier this month, Microsoft changed the priority of an obscure-sounding security update for Windows 7 from "Optional" to "Recommended," (which by default gets automatically downloaded an installed). This update, KB3133977, bricks machines running ASUS motherboards, in the UEFI mode.
Windows 7 inherently does not support Secure Boot, a feature introduced with Windows 8, which takes advantage of UEFI to provide users with a layer of system integrity throughout the boot process. With KB3133977 installed on Windows 7 machines that use UEFI boot, the motherboard senses a Secure Boot violation, and invalidates the boot device (refuses to boot from it). ASUS recommended a BIOS setting with which you can deactivate Secure Boot while making your motherboard continuing to boot in UEFI mode."
"Security" updates and "Secure" boot make your system safe! It's for your security! Don't even think about running W7 without them!

And here I thought that Microsoft had gotten worse over the years. Turns out they were pretty bad all along.

At least in the good ole days they aimed at the enemy fleet.
Nowadays they are torpedoing their own flagships (the worst possible sin in any navy

Trouble is that the official fix for it is contained within one of the updates we're asked to ignore as part of our 'say no to Win10' decision.

Microsoft Says Secret Data Requests Are Now The Norm, Sues U.S. Government
Quote"... Microsoft, which is now a major cloud services provider, has become increasingly worried at how many of the data requests from the U.S. government are accompanied by gag orders. Once a gag order is served, the company can no longer notify its users about the warrants it received for their data.
The company believes that the U.S. government is using the increasing popularity of cloud services as a way to skirt around the Fourth Amendment, which gives people the right to know when the government searches or seizes their property. Microsoft also believes that these gag orders violate the First Amendment, which guarantees the company the right to talk to its customers ..."

How Microsoft copied malware techniques to make Get Windows 10 the world's PC pest
Quote"... Much of the attention in the tech press on combatting GWX has been has focused on eliminating the work of one patch, KB3035583, which constantly reappears on users' PCs, even after removal. However, an investigation shows that ‘583 is a symptom, rather than the cause, of recurring GWX infestations.
The ‘583 patch is most commonly reinstalled by another patch, KB2952664. Once ‘664 is on a system, '583 will be requested for download and installation. Getting rid of, and thereby controlling, '664 could be the key to controlling the sophisticated "Get Windows 10" nagware network.
"Current patches do not fully address this situation and I do not believe it ever will, as the author of the GWX patch only addresses the GWX executable plus the '583 update,” writes a reader who conducted a detailed investigation for us.
Studying the behaviour of the ‘664 patch explains why controlling GWX is so difficult. The ‘664 patch constantly “mutates” – it is frequently revised to contain a new payload. Microsoft has not documented its behaviour, and has over the years removed explanations of what KB patches actually do ..."
