Microsoft updates Windows without users' consent

And then the unannounced updates will be forced onto your system anyway?

But wait, in the original articles, automatic updating WAS TURNED OFF!

It still stinks.

Hmmm, software installed on your computer without your cognizance,
notification, or permission sounds a lot like a definition of Malware. Why
didn't Windows Defender catch it? 8-)

Disable the Windows update service.
You will need to enable the service before any Windows Update function is
used.

It specifies in section 7 that "You may switch off these features or not
use them."

How am I supposed to shut this "feature" off?!?

creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country. Consumer
