This is irrelevant whether the connection is metered or not. Certainly should be off as default — however if this was the case, who would do this when there is nothing really to gain at the individual level hence their decision to switch on I’m sure.
Once again the ‘bubble’ that Microsoft techies live in is so far from the reality of their users. Upload speeds are dire for a lot of people, so this needed to something people opt into.
Doing a cost-benefit assessment, wonder if this is really worth it! The benefit from this feature to all involved — Microsoft, those who need the update and those who provide the update — is minimal. I’ll keep one of the older laptops on Windows 7 for the rare occasion when I need to run something on it. I’m actually looking forward to going back to Ubuntu. No BS licence agreements or the sense of greater foul play… Microsoft are going to lose even more friends with this move.
I liked it! Yes there were several glitches but these were soon dealt with after scratching about in the ‘Settings’ system. I used an analogy the Sports Car companies practice, they don’t spend millions designing a super car and just put it on the road expecting all to be well? Win 10 is in the same boat…. Any time a company says they are doing something for the users benefit,rest assured that it will benefit the company only,and or more than the user!
Yet people still say Microsoft has improved. Perhaps they have in some ways, but they clearly haven’t improved enough. How assuring it is that they finally decided to verify updates. I was wrong it seems; they have improved but this should have been the case always! Well done, Microsoft, for wasting customer’s resources to spare your own resources and who knows what else! Well done! The reason microsoft needs to validate connected computers is to TRY and thwart piracy of Windows For me, an operating system should be as transparent as the engine in a car.
All the features necessary should have no bearing of what’s under the hood. If Microsoft were to give away windows 10, and charge a fee for the addons, I’d be more willing to support their efforts. I could type my document and complete my budget spreadsheet using Chrome and free software, so why am i paying microsoft for software that in their own words may not work for any purpose.
The best operating system :A Browser sitting on top of a hardware abstraction layer. Microsoft’s goal for Windows 10 is to be a universal OS, hence moves for running on various platforms including Raspberry Pi 2 and on “internet of things”.
They’ve never gotten Windows right, and never will. I had nothing open, was simply modifying the Start Menu tiles groups when I was forced to unplug the power. Once I finally was able to get back in, I suspected an automatic update was probably engaged, and I appear to be right, three installed today.
I changed the setting to Notify to Schedule Restart after finding the old Windows Updates control panel is no more and you have to go to the Settings “panel” still two “Control Panels”, argh. While there, I noticed this terrible feature I was opted in on, disabled it. Well that decides it for me — I’ll just leave all my laptops on 8. I tried to update two laptops this past weekend and one, a 3 year old HP dual core, failed — and reverted back to 8.
This OS is definitely not ready for prime time or anything above Beta. One of my co-workers had his fail and revert because it lacked the drivers for his relatively new ACER laptop.
I would like to thank you Graham for another excellent and informative article And there are a lot of them!!! I have been a member of the Windows 10 Insider program since January ’15 and gone through a lot of Win 10 builds until the final release which is the RTM version. Yes its just “Windows Update” as they claim but what ifs…. My Windows 10 is downloading as I type and I found your info really enlightening..
I bookmarked the page to follow your instructions when I install 10…I don’t even pretend to be a real pc person but I do understand the explanation you provided and will immediately correct my settings…thanks! So I called it. Less than a week after making my comment, I saw microsoft is in fact going to charge for addons to the basic os. Finally a more provocative business model.
Something to keep us thinking and simply pay for what we want from MS. Wait a minute. Microsoft just burst their own bubble. Apparently there are a number of security flaws and reliability concerns regarding the OS.
Microsoft continues to play on the nerves of the general public. Maybe if microsoft embraced the Linux kernel as their hardware platform for device operations and interaction with system processes, we may have a viable solution. Microsoft can then license their interface to the Linux communitiy, users get the stability of Linux, ease of use of MS interface if that would only stop being a moving target and further license addons to the OS as they’re doing right now.
Goodbye crash and burn, hello productivity. I’m surprised no one has brought this up: One of the richest companies in the world Microsoft is enabling file sharing to save a few bucks on bandwidth? They can certainly afford to scale up their servers to directly provide all the updates anybody could ever want. I also agree that it’s only a matter of time before somebody hacks the Microsoft BitTorrent server.
Gotta say thanks for this forum. Made mistake of allowing windows 10 into my life. Computer and internet bogged down so quick a rabbit would loose the race to a snail. I reset the safety features as described computer went to working normally immediately. It’s a cool way to share information in idea only very frustrating in reality to trouble shoot existing problems while down loading new software. Boo to windows developers. I lost 2 days of sleep trying to figure this out and Microsoft is not being forthcoming with the possible issues.
Windows 10 has turned into a huge disappointed, I think I’ll be sailing away from the SS Microsoft going forward, guess it’s Linux from here on out. I thought there is some problem with my internet connection of some settings with the configuration of the windows but it was just uploading of the windows updates to other computer.
Microsoft are totally out of order here. In this case, the original contract is self evidently, in the “spirit of the law”, no longer valid. Likewise to their unauthorised WUDO bandwidth use, which you are paying for!
The whole point here, is that MS has not asked first! They have acted first, assuming it will be “allright”. Well I’ll be buggered if it is allright with me! It is very very wrong and they will be hearing from my Lawyers via a class action. Anyone interested?. I did what they said and changed my settings and they are still gobbling up my bandwidth! I live in the middle of nowhere and work from home on my computer doing medical transcription and I cannot afford to have this happen, it is costing me a fortune!
Is there anything else I can do? I cannot work just to pay my hotspot bill. I was one of the ones who they very nicely just shut my computer down and loaded 10 for me without my permission.
