This is what I do with my PCs just in case `Cryptlocker` or some other type of ransomware manages to make it onto my machine (highly unlikely), I can boot into the alternate account and run any antivirus/malware software from there.

Quotes from MS posters:Those files are adding up daily (the amount not getting cleaned)
•Have already tried cleaning with CCleaner with no success, never goes down below that amount.
•Have already tried booting to Safe Mode and yet Disk Cleanup still detects data, without having anything show up when viewing files within that folder.
•As mentioned already, no hidden data, and no protected OS files are showing up when enabling those options.
•IE temp files have already been cleared.
•Have also tried to wipe the free space, yet there is still data remaining (somewhere?)
Tried twice, everything seems fine and disc cleanup works as intended however at some point it stops deleting the temporary internet files and temporary files.
I have done a clean install 3 times now. Two times without installing anything else but Win 10 and updates for Win 10 and the issue persist.
Disk Cleanup: Will not delete on either user acct. Size remains the same.
Local Acct = 7.14 GB Temp Internet Files
MS Email Acct = 16 MB Temp Internet Files

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman
My first wife has just - inadvertently! - upgraded to Windows 10 from W8.She has, for some time now, been denying the nagging upgrade screen but this evening she accidentally (she thinks) clicked the accept button.
Too late!
About two hours later (she's going out to choir anyway) it seems to have finished so when she got back she, with much trepidation, clicked the appropriate button and, very slowly, it came up with some welcoming messages, including:
"Your files are all where you left them"!
After all the scare stories (no, not those scare stories!) she was convinced that she'd lose them all. Anyway, after a few minutes the desktop appeared with, surprise surprise, all her original icons just where she left them!
I must say that I was very impressed how easy and successful the operation was, after all I have heard. So, for those who are still dithering, I hope this success story has helped to put your minds at rest.

Whether the update runs without problems is not TBH the real issue at stake. The issue is what future changes are now coming your way as a result of you having W10. Those future changes will suit Microsoft, not you the user.
Either way, the way in which you have had to take W10 is appalling and it's not something to be promoting imo.

Their latest trick is to surreptitiously play about with the notification pop-up. Apparently the red cross, universally known to be for cancelling or closing a page, was changed to indicate acceptance. So when my wife clicked it to get rid of the pop-up, it began to install Windows 10.
Now if that's not sneaky - perhaps bordering on illegal - I don't know what is.

Microsoft accused of Windows 10 upgrade 'nasty trick'
How they could do such a thing is beyond me. Whoever decided to implement it should lose his job. This kind of thing will turn people against Microsoft like no other.

So if people click on the X it shoves W10 at you. How do people get rid of the pop up then?
