It says that if you click on the "Check for Updates" In Windows Settings, you are asking to be made into a Beta tester! https://www.howtogeek.com/398226/now...osoft-smoking/ I think that this sucks. Agreed. They've basically just destroyed a pivotal control on the machine. If you can't trust that button (in the same sense as you trust a light switch), what can you trust ? You can always trust that clicking the X will close the current window without having you agree to anything without your knowledge. Oh, wait, they once messed that up, too. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/...pgrade-process In many (or most) organizations, employees who tell their managers what they want to hear get promotion and pay. Those who tell their managers something else are considered "not a good fit". Microsoft's managers wanted to hear that users all wanted the Windows 10 upgrade, and that users would of course only click the X when they did not want to be bothered with the details. Imagine these managers' shock and surprise when the bots which crawl social media sites told them a different view after the deed was done. |
