Windows 10. It's a wonderful thing!
Hey, Microsoft, stop installing third-party apps on clean Windows 10
installs! Before Windows 10, a clean install of Windows only included the bare essentials a user would need to get started using their PC. With Windows 10, a clean install stays that way for about two minutes, because the second you hit the desktop, the Microsoft Store immediately starts trying to download third-party apps and games. Users have long complained about it, but it turns out Microsoft never put paid to it. Windows Central writes: And these apps keep trying to install themselves even after you cancel the downloads. https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-please-stop-trying-install-third-party-apps-my-clean-windows-10-install |

Hey, Microsoft, stop installing third-party apps on clean Windows 10 installs! Why are you posting this here? We can't do anything about this. You need to contact Microsoft directly and complain. We have no powers here. Newsgroup users are only here to solve real problems, if any, but nutters like you seem to be posting nothing but complaints and wasting not only our time but yours also as nothing is going to be solved by posting here. Go to Microsoft website and look for Customer Services Contact details. You could write to them and send your letter by registered post to ensure you get a reply. I have removed the cross-posting to your useless groups as you look completely stupid by doing that. are you the same nym-shifter pedo who now calls himself Arlene H Holder to conceal his/her identity. Authorities are looking for him and your post looks almost identical to his as he too is fond of cross-posting to useless newsgroups. Good luck.

A bit of history on "70's Disco"... (think Bee Gees and KC and the Sunshine Band, and Donna Summer - all of which pretty much sounds the same from song to song like it was stamped out of plastic). It was a fad, consisting of music that was ALL the same speed (110bpm) and had specific drum and bass styles, minimal chords, and overly repeated lyrics, that JUST! WOULD! NOT! DIE! like it should have, spawning hedonistic dance clubs, horrible clothing styles, "thunka thunka thunka" music 'at the speed of sex' pounding into your head from EVERYWHERE (TV, ads, movies, radio, stores, etc.), and a *HUGE* *DIVISION* in people's music preferences of epic proportion. You either LOVED it, or HATED it with equal passion. Well, mostly. Kinda like Win-10-nic. The anti-Disco movement peaked in the late 1970's with things like THIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night That event, and a few beforehand, were a total WAKEUP CALL to the clueless promoters who had "felt" that Disco was "popular". They HAD! NO! CLUE! as to how UN!-popular it *REALLY* was among *SO* *MANY* *PEOPLE*!!! The over-reaching presence of "Disco Everywhere" drove people like me *NUTS*, as in "how do you ESCAPE from this?" At my 'grad night' at Disneyland in 1978, the ONLY band that was NOT a "Disco" band was 'Wild Cherry' (and they're a FUNK band). Quite literally, "they" were TOTALLY ****ING CLUELESS when it came to about HALF of the teenagers that year, nearly all of which were 'Rockers' (and listened to album-rock and hard rock radio stations, NOT the 'pop' and 'disco' and 'soul' stations), and some of which were country music fans. NONE of the non-Disco-bunny teens were represented in ANY way, and I complained, and so did many others And now... take this situation and fast forward a few decades (4 decades to be exact) and we have the "Win-10-nic FLATSO" "overly simplistic" user interface being CRAMMED UP OUR ASSES along with fewer customizations, the 'start thing', ads, strong-armed cloudy login and other slurp/tracking, and forced updates [that often crash the OS or render it unusable for a particular task], and the general attitude from Micro-**** of "*WE* know best, so take what we let you have and shut up." I believe there is a _HUGE_ number of people who are really really FED UP with this CRAP. And many of us POST HERE to VENT and make sure *EVERYONE* knows that we exist!!! We're HERE. We're quite POSSIBLY the majority. And we AREN'T going to JUST TAKE IT much longer. A backlash is coming.

I wonder if any one has actually paid to upgrade to Windows 10? |

Yes, they have. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16832588491 Look in the customer review section. Every entry with a green "Verified Owner" tick box, bought the product (~$150). These are typically people building gaming computers with $600 processors, from scratch. Rich people just don't care about details :-) The reason they might not buy Win7 from somewhere, is Windows Update might not work properly with their spanking new processor. Skylake and Windows 7 Windows Update, work together well. Windows 10 Windows Update works with all modern processors (no nags at least). Paul |
