Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

Turn your modem off...Turn you comp off.... Turn your electricity off...turn your gas off.

If it still down loads we are all Doomed

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

Lindyloo, you were told what you needed to do earlier in this very thread on 20th April after your first post. I assume therefore that you didn't follow the advice/instructions. Why are you asking again for the solution? Just do it.

This was my reply to you back on page 6 of this thread:
"Have you not read the posts in this thread ??? I've posted exactly how to get around it. Just disable windows updates and uninstall the specific update KB3035583. It would take you about 2 mins to do, what's the problem? "

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

I know!! If I can get my work finished early, I'll have a go at doing that...........
You're absolutely positive it won't change anything else? And I'll still be able to download W10 foc in July?

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

All done! So hopefully will still have a working W8 computer when I get back from holiday and can reserve some time in July for Windows 10!

Thanks for your help.

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

Nothing can download if your PC is turned off, there's no Wiifi connection!
thats why as soon as you turn on PC it updates because the connection is there again

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

Unless, of course, you turn off your router, modem or internet connection on your computer! A very wise tactic if you want to use your computer but need to be sure that it cannot download anything you don't want.

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

the wifii turns off before my machine does.

when my machine is updating the screen says DO NOT TURN OFF UNTIL ITS FINISHED UPDATING, and that includes not turning the power off.
if the machine is in "standby" or "sleep" mode then I would imagine thats possible,

think about it, all the PCs that are turned off in PC World, are not updating,thats why after purchasing and turning on for first time, it immediatley updates.
even on battery power, yu have to turn the machine on for it to use the battery! for example my machine is on battery power at 48% if I turn it off, and come back to it tomorrow the battery power will be the same, because, updates only occur when the machine is turned on, and updates can only occur when there is power available, by turning on the "ON" button

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

I deleted that file the other week, yet I still have that little symbol down in the right hand corner giving me the option to download W10!

I thought I'd got rid of the damned thing. Quick check and I don't appear to have the file downloaded again, and again changed my settings to allow me to have say in what gets installed.

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

Go back to Post no. 6 on Page 1 of this thread onwards. There are several things that have been suggested. I think your answer will lie in one (or perhaps any) of those.

Re: Win 10 worse than a blasted, pushy door to door salesman

OMG

For a lot of you on this thread.

Get rid of your computer.

Get rid of your TV.

If you are a bit adventurous keep your Radio if you want to be informed

If not rely on Smoke signals.

Nothing wrong with W 10 just an advance from W 1993/7 or was that 8
