This is why you don't want to allow auto updates, but want the system to display the list of updates it is ready to download, and ask for permission.

It's a program that turns off the nag and the forced update items. (Yes, if you have automatic updates, it will automatically download Win 10. If you do manual updates, it will automatically checkmark itself. If you uncheck it or hide it, it will automatically unhide itself and check itself off again.)Mauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732614352398473302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-50672895283819187222015-12-26T21:03:29.764-07:002015-12-26T21:03:29.764-07:00None of my Windows 7 PCs have auto updated to 10. ...None of my Windows 7 PCs have auto updated to 10.

I assume I have all the latest updates. It nags me to update to Windows 10 but it doesn't install it for me. I'd like it not to install it.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423924859310327055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-50311151421937021052015-12-26T16:32:38.837-07:002015-12-26T16:32:38.837-07:00Be careful. there are at least a dozen Windows 7 u...Be careful. there are at least a dozen Windows 7 updates that are purely about gathering telemetry about your computer and sending it to Microsoft, and about forcing you to download Windows 10, even if you don't want to upgrade.Mauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732614352398473302noreply@blogger.com
