>Windows 10 self-installed itself. should I?
How are people actually retarded enough to let this happen?

There really isn't anything wrong with windows 10, but it isn't hard to prevent this.

>Windows 10 self-installed itself.
Fucking Skynet.

Normies are too retarded to configure their OS.

Awesome Terminator reference my friend, but you're using it wrong.

If you don't pay attention to it it will happen automatically, but it is never implied. It's always down at the toolbar as a advert or something you can do manually.

And it is a collossal fucking dickmove by Microshit to force Win10 on people.

Don't fall for the meme. W10 is good.
And unless you are ISIS you shouldn't worry about the gov spying on you.
And even without W10 they can spy you.
Seriously this board is full of retards.

I want a OS designed for PCs, not tablets. I want a proper start menu, not the atrocious fuckheap that's WIN10 with a bunch of "apps" with oversized icons.

Fuck Win10. Maybe I'll upgrade once DX12 becomes relevant, but until then it can go and fuck itself.

I was just gonna make this thread because my pc just upgraded by itself to w10. It's not bad or anything? Will I still be able to play all my games? Is there any sort of performance issue

I'm pretty dumb with this kind of stuff and I'm pretty annoyed that it just happened but I'm hoping everything will be fine

By now compability is fine.

Perfomance will be better with DX12 but barely any game uses it so you won't notice anything noteworthy.

If you don't mind the tablet style OS then you're fine.

I Windows 10 was benign it wouldn't have installed itself without your express permission.
At this point I can't see any difference between Windows 10 and a browser hijacker or keylogger.

>It's always down at the toolbar
Unless you uninstalled it like everyone who isn't completely retarded did.

I installed Ubuntu.

What do I do now?

win10 has a start menu
dumb cunt faggot at least be informed

Its just a reskinned windows 7

Complain on the internet you have no games. Then install gentoo since Ubuntu is still GNU+Linux botnet

What are you talking about? W10 has a normal start menu. Maybe you are thinking of Windows 8.
I upgraded from Windows 7 and haven't noticed major changes. The minimalistic theme is also neat.

>he fell for the memes

Block updates (or get GWX toolbar) until July 27th and be free or W10.

i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you know it's a normal start menu with apps on the side. even in that case you can turn them off

>avoid getting a free upgrade so when DX12 finally becomes the norm you're forced to pirate it
Sup Forums should stop giving advice.

>And unless you are ISIS you shouldn't worry about the gov spying on you.
You are the cancer.

Exactly this.

Fucking... Genisys?

How useful is this?

Microsoft™ appreciates you giving all your information for us to be able to build a better, more user-centric OS.

Do you seriously think the gov give a shit about the gay porn you browse on the internet?
Or do you think not installing Windows 10 will prevent them form spying on you?
I may be cancer, but you are a gullible retard.

>dislike being watched masturbating by Obama means you're ISIS
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the new Sup Forums

it fucked up my computer bad. constantly froze after 10-30 minutes and couldn't find a fix for the life of me. Microsoft support didn't do shit either. it wasn't a clean install but the instability was pissing me off. ended up going back to win 7.

I want to give up computers and the internet entirely but I'm too scared.

>you can give them all your info, they promised not to do anything with it. why would they lie lol

>people saying windows 10 is fine on fucking Sup Forums
If you actually don't fucking play any of the massive amount of older games it kills you're a fucking casual and you need to fuck off.

>There really isn't anything wrong with windows 10

If you like being a product yourself, sure.

>shitty arguments

>Do you seriously think the gov give a shit about the gay porn you browse on the internet?
It doesn't change the fact they care enough to spy on it.

>Or do you think not installing Windows 10 will prevent them form spying on you?
It WON'T prevent them from spying on you but installing Win10 will make easier to spy on you.

>I may be cancer, but you are a gullible retard.
Retard >>>>>>>> cancer

>not doing a clean install

Yes, Sup Forums is retarded.

>Pick your choice: #1 or #2
>I've picked #1
>works as shit
>"hurr you should've picked #2 you retard"

will use this until no new games work on it.

How the hell do you prevent your peasee to keep begging for you to update?

Also, remember when this shit was "FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME"?

This still hasn't happened to me yet and I haven't fucked around in the settings at all

>tfw Windows 10 since Feb last year
>tfw listening to dickheads post memes

I hate Sup Forums

I won't use Windows 10 until my W7 Ultimate stops me from enjoying new games

I've yet to see any new game requiring DX12 or looking much better with it

Not worth giving the NSA my everything yet
Also it fucks up many older games

People have been saying it has access to your full system telemetry and sends it to Microsoft/the government like it's a new thing, when Windows has been pretty much doing that since 95-99.

>tfw not American and don't have to worry about W10 sending my info to anyone
Life's great.

W8 and W10 do it in unprecedented ways

wilderssecurity.com/threads/list-of-windows-7-telemetry-updates-to-avoid.379151/

You should have already been checking this. You've probably got multiple installs of some of these.

Then leave to facebook, seems to be more your thing, with all the privacy invasion and data selling.

>How the hell do you prevent your peasee to keep begging for you to update?
by not using a PC when you're a dense retard

Remove relevant updates and disable windows updates

DX12 was Microsoft realizing that PC gamers might be too smart to buy into their botnet so they made an attempt to take the games hostage.

Vulcan is the future, user

Yeah, I'm sure nobody would have noticed this, given the average upload capacity was under 1kbps at the time.
Fucking moron.

Windows 10 installed itself on my office computer because I wasn't allowed to block updates and now necessary software doesn't work at all.

>tfw pirated windows and it doesn't try to do this

This happened to me and I exited out. Shit started auto upgrading like 3 hours later. It's honestly not as bad as some people say, but I wish I had a choice in the matter.

Yeah, they are trying that with their xbone ports to PC as well

All W10 windows store exclusive.

>have had windows updates disabled for years

Not gonna touch anything as long as it works.

That's because pirated windows versions are usually enterprise keys and shit. Microsoft would commit financial suicide if they forced companies to update.

>nfw pirated windows and it does try to do this

if you're on windows 7 and want to get rid of that shit

you can run them manually or save it all to a .txt file and change it to .bat and run it.

if you're paranoid about this, just use google and search.

I really like the part where "get windows 10 RIGHT FUCKING NOW" updates that I've disabled automatically re-enable themselves.

Saw this shit with a scheduled upgrade the other day that would happen in 10 minutes.
I left the skynet app there before because I thought it would be a hassle to remove but after that shit I removed it and turned off microsoft recommended updates.
Turned out to be pretty easy.

grc.com/never10.htm

b-but it's for your good user! you don't have to waste time controlling your pc, it controls itself! you don't know what's best for you, we do! don't you want the superior win10 experience? all the cool kids are doing it!

>not downloading fixes of vulnerabilies

Yeah bro XDDD you are so smart, fuck the ilumanati fuck the system dude 420 blaze it

W10 is the biggest vulnerability

lmao
i bet you use antivirus

Microshaft has been spying on you since Vista, or hell, probably before that..

What a brilliant argument. We should all listen to your wise words. Maybe you could act more like a 14 year old, I'm sure that will convince him.

Do this if you want to brick your PC.

Ah okay, so it's fine if I let them spy on me now.

Do you even think your shit through before you post? What kind of argument is this supposed to be?
>hey, this guy already shot you once, why don't you let him shoot you again?

Seriously, jump into traffic.

not to this degree

>when DX12 finally becomes the norm you're forced to pirate it
> forced to
I haven't used all the windows versions, only 3.1, 95, 98, XP and 7. All of those were better pirated than bought though, even when you don't add in the considerable price.
I haven't pirated 10 yet but if I'm forced to get it I will pirate, not buy, even if it's $10.

Guys I just tried this and now my PC screen has been black for the past 2 minutes and my mouse isn't showing up.

What the fuck did I just do?

...

And where exactly, pray tell, did I say it was okay for Microsoft to spy on people? Where, exactly, in that post, did I say I was for Windows 10? I'm against Windows 10, but if you think not upgrading will prevent them from spying on you then you're fucking retarded. Or are you just so addicted to assuming shit you don't even know?

>Have a legit copy of Windows 7
>Have Windows Update on
>Didn't do anything extra
>Never get any notification for Windows 10 of a young sort

kys?

thanks a lot dickhead now my sisters laptop isn't booting

>pirating your OS
>being paranoid about microsoft but not about some random hacker on the internet

Win10 is free, though. At least until july.

Be happy.

Windows 10 is fucking terrible, it's a worthless spyware through and through.

windows 10 update
youtu.be/MZUBXtIi1RA

>And unless you are ISIS you shouldn't worry about the gov spying on you.
But I am and I want to play my games in peace. I got enough people looking at me through sniper scopes when I'm outside, I don't need that shit when playing games

Always do a clean install.
Fucking idiot, no shit it wasn't working properly.

I had to do a load of fuckery to get Windows 10 to work at all after an upgrade.
Nuked it, started again from scratch.

Week later, none of the taskbar functions. All of it refuses to open. Run a clusterfuck of commands including reinstalling every 'app' on the system, and now I can open everything but the startbar remains blank.

I honestly don't even remember having issues like this with even fucking Windows ME. It's a goddamn mess.

Pray tell, where did you tell us in your post that you don't like W10? Where, exactly, in that post, did you make any indication of that sort? Because to me that post looks like it's defending it.
>They've done it before, so what's the harm guys lol

>paranoid about microsoft
That's not why, I have tried both pirated and non-pirated versions of all those I listed except 98. The pirated ones had less issues and never bitched at me.

In one case I rebuilt my computer and just started it up, had to unlock windows with a key that I had to call microsoft to get. I did that with the pirated version too and it just worked.

Gentoo is shit

>Windows 10 self-installed

wew lad, is this really a thing now? You know something is fishy when a company is trying _THIS_HARD_ to get you to use their product. It's basically the IRL equivalent of that part in Deus Ex HR where they try to trick you into getting the free biochip upgrade.

So glad I don't use automatic windows update. Win7 for life. Fuck the botnet.

I installed win10 on my work laptop and it's now impossible to start up the printer spooler service. Everything else works but I can't print anything, can't even add printers.

>vidya studdering
>driver conflicts
>BSODs in certain video editing software

Sure. It's great.

>win10 never appears for me
>there are some win7 updates tho
>install those bitches
>unable to boot
>revert
bravo microsoft

This fucking update got me the other day.

Is it sad that I cuckled at the though of you getting sniped in real life?

>he fell for the "Windows 10 is evil" meme
You need to lurk Sup Forums more and not believe the memers, W10 is fine and better than W7. Just disable the obvious shit and you won't have to worry about Bill Gates looking at your anime porn.

I had a similar problem with the initial install - nothing which used the print spooler or image acquisition service could open; IE things like Photoshop or MSPaint. Don't even know if I fixed it, was probably one of things I had to wipe it to get rid of.

One thing I will give it credit for is it fixed a lot of vidya stutter-at-high-framerate issues.
And while it lets me use my IGPU alongside my GPU, flux absolutely and utterly rapes the system five ways sideways.

Crap, I don't know if I already have Windows 10 installed. I have the windows 8 features, but I'm afraid that I might've downloaded the files without knowing.

Is there a folder I can look into, or some partition I can see, to tell me if I have windows 10 on my computer?

So, when will people sue? You can't force your product onto people, even if its free.

>Pray tell, where did you tell us in your post that you don't like W10?

In the first post? I didn't. It could have been either way, but you assumed I took the position of defending Windows 10 because I said something you didn't like. Of course, what I've said is an assumption, but that's what you've been doing so far: assuming things that haven't been said.

>>They've done it before, so what's the harm guys lol

I haven't said that at all. I've said that if you think not upgrading will prevent spying then you're a retard. Uninstalling telemetry updates on W7 won't do much in the way for you as it won't do much in the way for you on W10. If Microsoft's not watching, then the government is. That doesn't spying any less unacceptable, but what the hell can you do, really?

But please, tell me how I'm defending W10 and Microsoft's spying again.
