alt.comp.os.windows-10: Interesting http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonke...grades-danger/ I'm surprised this is news to you - it's a frequent topic of discussion here. I still can't believe this is the way Microsoft wants to go. I would think that even their management staff would realize this is a bad idea the first time they turn on their computer to do some urgent work, and it decides at that very moment to insist on installing a major update and taking the computer out of commission for a several hours. Is that really what they want for everybody, including themselves? |

Is that really what they want for everybody, including themselves? I'm still waiting to hear if someone who has installed a 3rd party firewall and configured it to block any access to Microsoft's WSUS servers got it to work or if Windows 10 has a backdoor that will subvert the firewalls. To the updates, the computer would look to be offline. When the user wanted to find out about and apply updates, they could disable the "Block Windows updates" rule, do the updating, and enable their "Block Windows updates" rule. In fact, once Windows 10 has been out a few months, I suspect there will be a set of "common rules" passed around for each community of a firewall to block updates until the user decides to check and apply. |

Fyi...the article is about the Windows 10 approach (for Home and Pro consumer/business end-users) for deploying Windows Updates (program and security patches) not the Windows 10 Upgrade (free) from a prior qualifying o/s. -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience |
