Ah, unfortunately the whole point of Windows 10 is that Microsoft is in control of your computer not you. You surely realised this when you opted to load up W10 no?!
Updates taking 4hrs to load is surely more than a few corrections and tweaks. I predicted last year that whatever MS initially put out in terms of W10 will swiftly morph into something much more controlling and geared around selling you stuff.
There is no happy ending imo for people who took up W10. Big Brother is watching and recording everything you do and using that info.
The big boys are collectively trying their level best to force people up the technical ladder to W10 and all the latest browsers. All working together imho.
Google now blocking Google Maps for people with older versions of Internet Explorer despite the fact those IE versions work just fine. Freedoms being curtailed there.
Twitter now doing likewise. Popping up messages about older browsers and restricting my view of other people's Twitter posts.
All very pathetic. All bully boy tactics to force people up their controlling and carefully laid out path.
No thanks.
I control my PC. Windows 7, lots of security measures in place. No adverts, no banners, no pop ups. Tracking sites fully blocked. etc etc.
Very happy.
