    This is why you shouldn't do automatic windows updates

    MS-DEFCON 1: Current Microsoft patches are causing havoc. Don’t patch.

    I only do a major update if my computer is WAY BEHIND... and a PC Game won't run properly on my system. It's the only time.

    I fear situations... in which your computer just simply crashes with a bad update or patch.

    Now that Vista is off service, I have the perfect relationship with Microsoft.
    You don't call me, and I won't call you.

    sucks ass, still some games and apps dont work with WIN10

    they need to fix all that shit before feed forcing the new version IMO

    true story, my brothers laptop once ran off battery in the middle of updating a patch.... ****** it up badly... he had to reset the whole system and afterwards the computer was never the same

    Found it very strange that Microsoft was not only offering windows 10 upgrade for free but really pushing it. They even tried to sneak it in. Microsoft giving stuff for free should always raise a major red flag. Their history is just the opposite. Rumor has it Windows 10 will subscription based just like Office.

    Last month I had updates done without my input. One of the updates of course messed up my PC. It was a widespread issue. Easiest fix was another update without IE updates. Otherwise it was a very complicated fix. And if you ever call their customer service you will find out it is the worse. Think I will try a non windows system for my next computer.
