Batu69 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Changes made to the Get Windows 10 app recently Users are allowed to cancel the upgrade Microsoft has implemented a change to the way the Windows 10 upgrade is offered to Windows 7 and 8.1 computers, scheduling the install of the new OS without previously asking users. The first time we reported about these scheduled upgrades to Windows 10 was on May 16, but it appears that Microsoft implemented the changes four days earlier, on May 12, according to information provided by the company itself. In a recent advisory published by Microsoft, it reveals that the Get Windows 10 app has been updated to schedule upgrades to Windows 10, but at the same time giving users the option to cancel it easily. And truth be told, it’s as easy as pressing the “cancel” button if you don’t want to move to Windows 10 because the new upgrade prompts come with an option that reads “Click here to change upgrade schedule or cancel scheduled upgrade.” “Changes based on customer feedback” The company claims that the change comes based on customer feedback, although we’ve seen many users angry that their PCs are scheduled to receive the upgrade to Windows 10 without first asking them. "Based on customer feedback, in the most recent version of the Get Windows 10(GWX) app, we confirm the time of your scheduled upgrade and provide you an additional opportunity for cancelling or rescheduling the upgrade," Microsoft is quoted as saying. One important thing that you must have in mind is that once the upgrade is scheduled and you don’t take any action, the Windows 10 installer is automatically launched. Furthermore, if you open the Get Windows 10 app and just press the “X” button in the top right corner, the schedule doesn’t change and the Windows 10 upgrade is launched as planned. The free upgrade offer for Windows 7 and 8.1 users ends on July 29, and everyone who wants to install Windows 10 beyond these date needs to purchase a license. The Home version of Windows 10 costs $119.99. Article source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 None of the pcs on my network has this problem because i dont install get windows 10 updates .. If i wanted windows 10 id download the ISO and install it so i see no need installing them i never have. i really dont see how its new other than they confirmed it. one time before they said they was sorry for it even, just a few weeks ago they were 2 articles on this site were windows 7 was automatically updating some peoples PCs that was dumb enough to install GWX. If people knew how to administer updates they would never have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfdas Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 My fathers computer was installing windows 10 a couple of days ago and he is not a experienced user of computers. The screen went totally black and some auto-starting program went out of function. Had him to take the computer to me and I spent about 1 hour whit it, was more problems then windows upgrade. But for old people without free support it could cost some money to upgrade. Should those people send a money back bill to microsoft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
