ok

le botnet! xD

That's how malware works

That's what you get for using windows.
Tsk tsk tsk

Using windows
2016

same here just happened last night. Just update the telemetry uptions with the scripts available out there to block some of the spying. Looking forward to test this out with wireshark soon to see if indeed MS still manages to send data without my input.

28 updates am i fucked

I just avoid KB3035583 and install other updates, never got the Get Win 10 upgrade done automatically

/thread

It happened because you didn't do anything to stop it.
Maybe don't ignore every prompt you get next time.

>taking an image of the screen

Absolutely no excuse

It spawns a prompt with little time to say NO. In my case turned on computer went to see NBA finals in the living room.... half-hour past and I was surprised with the same percentage screen OP has. Not even a prompt to ask if you backed up your files in case the install goes completely bad.

I agree this is how malware works. Now i feel like just wiping windows off my computer.

Supposedly you can return to the previous version within a month.

I don't know for sure if that works since I have not touched win10

Wouldn't have happened if you just installed gentoo

you can return to the previous version immediately, and nothing is affected

you retain the windows 10 license you got for free and can sell it.

You've had months upon months to simply remove the updates that put gwx.exe on your computer.
Yes, it's more aggressive now than it was at the start. But that doesn't change the fact that this only happened because you did nothing to stop it.

You're the idiot that just let every update through.
You're the idiot that didn't look up how to remove it within the several months you've had to do so.
You brought this upon yourself.

whats a Sup Forums?

I though win10 license was bounded to the mobo

Is W10 still a bloated buggy mess, or should I upgrade now?

Does Sup Forums have a guide on how to turn all the extras off, like the start-menu ads and shit?

Windows 7 stops being supported soon and I wanna make sure my bases are covered.

>Does Sup Forums have a guide on how to turn all the extras off, like the start-menu ads and shit?

read the fucking sticky

That's the only reason you're allowed to sell it

Nothing there

>4 years
>soon

>Windows 7 stops being supported soon and I wanna make sure my bases are covered.

not for another year, at least... they put off ending support for winXP several times and will likely do so again

that said, 10 is great and I have no plans to go back

he was saying don't ask

no W10 isn't bloated and buggy
no there is no reason to upgrade either

Don't stop using W7 just because microsoft stops supporting it, stop using it when you actually need to stop

first fucking link

wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Windows_10

:^)

Nigga that's all you had to say. Thanks.

It makes sense, I'l hold onto W7 a bit longer.

My pc is old as fuck and actually slower with win10

My laptop has troubles with drivers, fuck sony,

at this point i'll update for win11

funny thing, I used win2k, skipped vista and used win7 when it came out, this is the same situation

Win 7 support ends in 2020

>he didn't change his settings
it happened because of your lack of input. you're like the bystander who doesn't call 911 when a person is bleeding out and claiming you aren't responsible for their death

>using the smiley with a carat nose

Roll back to your previous operating system

Download "GWX Control Panel"

Fucking christ Sup Forums it doesn't require being a genius to figure this out, I thought you all had more intuition than this.

W10 is the single worst piece of shit software product I've came upon ever in my life.
Microsoft simply tells to your face that, to them, their meme telemetry shit is more important than your actual needs as a user of your own system. They pushed information retrieval (aka spying) to be the first priority of the OS; hence it doesn't matter what you are currently doing, they will go ahead with their obscure updates and not care. Additionally, I've experienced a significant performance drop in every machine I've tried this piece of shit, could be related to it constantly sending whatever information to microsoft, or simply due to the poor implementation of their interface.
I admit that GAHNOO + Loonix is quite uncomfortable most of the time for an inexperienced user, but Windows 10 has managed to go even beyond that. I switched permanently to linux and will never look back.

should of installed gentoo

>should of

ᐛ

>without my input

Next time, don't leave updates enabled like a fucking normie

...If you don't like it, don't use it? You have 30 days to roll back after installing it, dude. That's more than enough time to determine whether or not you like it.

>wanting to use outdated software that has all the telemetry shit backported by default
what a great fucking idea

Did you read the whole post?

I said I switched to Linux and am not coming back.

How is something still supported considered "outdated"?

Also you can disable telemetry in Windows 7 and 8.1 :O

Linux is good too.

>i'll update for win11

Windows 10 is the last operating system microsoft will put out. Now that they are at an even number that matches apple they will just release revisions every year. Get ready for Windows 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 just like OSX.

You can choose not to install the telemetry. You would know this if you weren't a mouth breather like OP.

>How is something still supported considered "outdated"?
Like XP it will die eventually.
>Also you can disable telemetry in Windows 7 and 8.1 :O
Can you now? Beat MS at their own game that is?

>You can choose not to install the telemetry.
They've been pushing updates marked as important with no description. Only for users to find out about what it actually does 1 month later. Take GWX as an example.

you're shitting me right? at some point they'll have to release a new version without, right

fucking curry nutella

I understand if clicking the "More Information" button is beyond your capabilities, but I assure you functional human beings are perfectly capable of not installing the telemetry.

>Can you now? Beat MS at their own game that is?
Ya:
Disable the following updates, KB3068708, KB3022345,KB2952664, KB2990214, KB3035583, KB971033, KB3021917

Disable "Remote Registry" under Services.

Disable all "Microsoft-Windows-DiskDiagnosticDataCollector" under scheduled tasks

Download GWX Control Panel and run all the fixes.

Boom, you're welcome.

Time to buy a gentoo

Did you not see this coming? Are you really that blind?

redmondmag.com/blogs/the-schwartz-report/2015/07/windows-10-last-os-version.aspx

...

well fuck


so... install gentoo?

Here's a list of some of the updates and their respective description that enable telemetry in Windows 7 and 8:

KB3068708 Update for customer experience and diagnostic telemetry
KB3022345 Update for customer experience and diagnostic telemetry
KB2952664 Compatibility update for upgrading Windows 7
KB2990214 Update that enables you to upgrade from Windows 7 to a later version of Windows
KB3035583 Update installs Get Windows 10 app in Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1
KB971033 Description of the update for Windows Activation Technologies
KB3021917 Update to Windows 7 SP1 for performance improvements
KB3044374 Update that enables you to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to a later version of Windows

Of course this will stop Microsoft from pushing similar updates in the future.

>Not disabling updates and then just installing driver and .NET Framework updates.

Wowie, guy!

I, too, enjoy using an outdated operating system.

Cool dude, you saying it more doesn't make it true. Updates are still coming out for them and therefore are not outdated.

You just told me in this post that i should be
>disabling updates
entirely. How am I update the system when they're disabled?

am I going to*

>having to cherrypick updates every single time
>even the ones you choose to hide get added again repeatedly
What an absurd hassle

>updating
>ever

Weaaaaaak argument. You disable specific updates and install others. Since those others are available it's still up to date, not outdated. You gotta shoot better ammo at me, man.

fucking kek
also

>You disable specific updates and install others
Or I could just run an entirely different OS that doesn't try to install malware at all.
gets the idea.

>no security or feature updates ever
>OS end of life in just a few years
Why the fuck? Just use something respectable.

Yee, Linux is good. If you want to use Windows for a particular reason, however, I was just sharing that you can disable all the bullshit, that's all! No offense, man.

This is why you run OOSU10, disable automatic updates, update whenever you want.

You should have configured it properly in the first place, pleb.

Go use a babby OS like linux. Windows 7 is for real hardcore techies.

You cant disable all the bullshit. Windows IS the bullshit.

kek you sound like a conspiracy theorist.

What conspiracy did I theorize?

Just give the 1 BTC jamal

You gotta poo in the loo

>It's the users fault.
Why do windows users suffer some kind of battered wife syndrome?

>nba finals
Nigga the quarterfinals aren't even done

This only happened to my laptop because I was running the beta program.

Win 10 doesn't actually do this though.

You're a retard. Kill yourself.

Retard. I turned that shit off when I tried to install the security updates and it tried to fucking install the GWX update but failed when I searched in the update history.

all that stuff is either optional or fud though

Stop lying
