Windows 10 WARNING: These versions of Microsoft OS will SELF DESTRUCT, are YOU affected?

[The AchieVer]

WINDOWS 10 users have been put on alert that some versions of the popular Microsoft OS will ‘self destruct’ soon - find out if you’re affected.

 

Windows 10 fans are being warned that some versions of the flagship Microsoft OS are a ticking time bomb.

 

These versions of the leading OS have a ‘self destruct’ setting meaning that it will refuse to boot entirely after a set date.

And users of these Windows 10 editions are being warned that this expiry date is fast approaching.

 

Affected Windows 10 fans will see their version of the OS stop working within the next two weeks.

 

This Windows 10 ‘time bomb’ will kick into effect on December 14.However, thankfully this issue will only affect those using unstable Insider Preview versions of Windows 10.

 

Windows 10 Insider builds are used by Microsoft testers to check out preview builds which later become fully fledged updates for the public.

 

So, if you’re a consumer using a regular version of Windows 10 you won’t be affected.

 

As revealed in a post by The Register, affected Windows 10 Insider users will receive daily warnings in the run up to the OS stopping working.

 

This message started appearing after Microsoft released build 18290 of next year’s Windows 10 to the Fast Ring.

In other Windows 10 news, Microsoft has been dealt some good news after the troubles with the October 2018 update.

Windows 10 is reaching a crossover point with Windows 7 - the most popular OS in the world.

 

Stats from California-based Net Applications put Windows 10 right behind Windows 7 in October 2018.Their stats show Windows 10 running on 38.3 per cent of all PCs in October, with Windows 7 just ahead on 39.4 per cent.Likewise, stats from the NetMarketShare analytical website also put Windows 10 within touching distance of Windows 7.

Their stats show Windows 7 is the leading operating system in the world, used on 38.89 per cent of computers in November.

 

However, Windows 10 is just behind on 38.14 per cent.This is a huge turnaround compared to last year.Looking at November 2017 figures, NetMarketShare then had Windows 7 holding a mighty 43.12 per cent share of the OS market.

 

Whereas Windows 10 then had a 31.95 per cent market share.

I was about to ask if this was some out of season April's joke but my oh my. This sure ain't the kind of morning drill I'd want to wake up to if some botched update accidentally activated this lovely new feature for all consumer products behind the scenes. My goodness, I can't believe I like the XP years better now.

ROFL!

 

god windows 10 is such shit. Telemetry, ads in the OS, crappy/forced apps (candy crush? seriously?) and horribly botched updates. What else could go wrong?

These days Windows 8 don't look so bad :D

If you are a Windows Insider you already know about time bombs.  Plus, if you are a Windows Insider you should be using build 18290 which will self destruct in July of 2019.  At least that is what mine says!

 

Wednesday....build 18295.

Welcome to the world of MS........ it reminds me of Ethan hunt 😁

All I can say is thank goodness for the LTSC Enterprise version.

 

The only edition of W10 not totally bloated with crap that's actually worth running.
And funny enough the only version not intended to be used for the general consumer market.

[Shalsh95]

I don't get it 😅 is it how they say "thank you" for insiders who test their shitty under test OS and offer a great help in the development cycle 😅

This is how the Tech Gaint -MS works 😁

Wait, can you run this edition at home using pirated and activate with KMS pico?   I can't remember but I thought there was a disadvantage to using the enterprise version. No bitlocker?

[The AchieVer]

LTSB version of Windows has quite a few extra features which are not there in windows pro etc. 

 

Further, Bitlocker is enabled in Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB edition.

 

[Kynyo]

LTSC 2019 could be activated via KMS for about 7073 days, thats about 19 years :))))

No another version for me, fkuc Metro Apps crap. activator available on forum.

Also no semi anual upgrade. LTSC/B versions are upgraded once over  2-3 years.

 

 

[mymiabear]

Can anyone help me. I would love to run Enterprise edition locally.  19 years is plenty for me lol! Does anyone have a copy of the clean activator for Windows 10 Enterprise?

 

Currently I use "KMSpico_setup 10.2.0.exe" for activating Windows 10 PRo

 

EDIT: also where can I get a clean ISO?
