Foistware is unwanted software that is burdened upon you, usually as a condition for using some other software (like applications that come with drivers, for example). In this instance, Windows 10 is the foistware: the condition of using earlier, foistware-supported versions of Windows (which

Ah the Evil empire is alive and well. I like the windows 10 features that make you provide an open WiFi connection with out knowing it.:) That’s just good planning. lol > On Feb 3, 2016, at 11:17 PM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu wrote: > > A quick heads-up for Windows users (in

Thank you for this. I still have a PC that I use for running Duxbury and Kurzweil. I don't want to go to Windows 10 either, so very much appreciate the warning. Cheers, Donna > On Feb 3, 2016, at 10:17 PM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu wrote: > > A quick heads-up for Windows users

Re: Windows 10 Push Goes Up Another Notch

I think (hope!) it suffices just to not install recommended updates, or turn off automatic download of all updates completely. Of course if you opt out of recommended updates you’ll now have to come back every so often and check for updates in the recommended updates list that you actually

Re: Windows 10 Push Goes Up Another Notch

Yes and keep GWX Control Panel yp to date because it tries to stay one step ahead of MS. MS has created quite a few updates to Windows Update so it could well become locked in and no opt out allowed. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited

Re: Windows 10 Push Goes Up Another Notch

I'm kind of rusty at Windows updates, but here's what I've done to avoid this so far: One, changed windows update settings from "download and install automatically" to notify me before downloading 2, I unchecked the "give me recommended updates the same way I get important updates" box. Three,

This is infection-ware that I have been resisting ever since it appeared. Just today I "hid" 2 optional updates that claim to improve the Windows Update client. The sooner I move over to the Mac full time the better. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that

Re: Windows 10 push

Actually, I really like Windows 10. Microsoft have certainly learned from the catastrophic disaster that was Windows 8. It runs very well on my mid-2014 MacBook Pro. Glad they brought back the start button and got rid of the tiles. Over all very happy with the update. Yours truly,

Re: Windows 10 push

Sure, a great update. But I refuse to use a version of Windows that takes such a cavalier attitude to privacy and end-user control and will not consider using it until both are substantially and verifiably altered in favour of the user. As the unfortunate saying goes, “You get what you pay

Re: Windows 10 push

Well, Apple are certainly doing it, but they take a different tack: they merely punish you if you say “No”. But at least you can actually say “No”. I am worried about the MS direction. Even if I don’t move to Win10—and I so far have absolutely no intention of doing that—there’s still all the
