People do know you can set group policies in win10 to stop updates ? Haven't updated since the FCU and nothing resets anymore after updates, so once you set it you don't have to go disable it again after every single update.

Doesn't work on W10 Home.

Group Policy edittor. W10 Home ignores some of the settings in GP. There was a whole debacle about needing to use registry tweaks in the Home version to disable things like auto updates and Cortana when it could be done easily with GP in Pro.

This is interesting... I will have to try it on my laptop.  It's been off for a month or so and would definitely have updates available by now so I should be able to tell if it's working or not pretty quickly, and be able to test out the fixes.  Considering Windows 7 is supposed to still be supported until 2020, this has to either be a mistake, or something that will blow up into a much larger story soon enough (I'm looking at you accusations this is intentional to push people to Windows 10)

You know by calling it a conspiracy instead of a conspiracy theory that implies it is a known fact rather than a hypothesis.

Wouldn't having a conspiracy confirmed defeat the purpose? :P

Well according to the internet maybe, though the fact the that the plot was revealed did not negate the existence of a plot despite the fact the internet believes such normally.

 

It's funny how negative of a light conspiracy theories have now, though that was the result of the of a conspiracy between intelligence agencies and the media flooding the populace with fake information to delegitimize valid questionings of extremely convenient coincidences that occurred.

I'm saying that government agencies have in the past released fake info so it could be debunked to undermine stories about legitimate conspiracies, I just said it in a very convoluted manner that is possibly an illogical rant.

This whole debacle, was my experience with Windows 7 as it existed prior to Windows 8.1.

Where are all these ads people keep saying they are getting on w10? Are they talking about the pre-installed crash crush start menu shit? I've never once seen an ad in w10 across the 6 computers I've had

On top of my head I can think of:

 

Those are the ones I can think of right now, but I have probably missed a few.

If you have never seen an ad inside Windows 10 then consider yourself very lucky, or you have spent the time and effort required to disable all of them (and probably had to disable things again after updates).

Or maybe you use the Enterprise version which doesn't come with this bullshit.

Windows 7 is such a joke at this point. You literally have to hate Windows 10 or run an old and not very agile business to still be running it.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

What the fuck is Microsoft even trying to do now? It's their own damn fault that Windows 10 didn't move in the numbers they wanted.

I would guess that they're trying not to patch Windows 7 anymore. I think they've secretly given up.

They have more than secretly given up. They are spending time and resources trying to sabotage it. For example they pushed out an update a few months ago (maybe more like half a year now) that patched the update service to include a CPU detection function, which blocks updates if it detects newer CPUs.

Someone reverse engineered it and disable it, and once that was done everything continued to work as normal with updates.

 

So they are actively developing tools to block updates for Windows 7.

I'm pretty sure Microsoft has been actively breaking Windows update for Windows 7 systems. I reinstalled Windows 7 on a friend's laptop and couldn't get it to update no matter what I did. 

Or maybe you shouldn't expect an 8 year old system to get as much support as it did when it was new. Besides, windows 7 was never exactly perfect... it was good at the time, but it came with its own share of problems. Of course this bug should be fixed, but I doubt it's a result of microsoft deliberately breaking it.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Fair enough for people on Windows 7.

 

If businesses had all moved to Windows 10 then Windows 7 would probably be discontinued and made obsolete with no future updates.

Or just that there is no reason to downgrade to 10?

In what way is it a downgrade?
 

It's an upgrade. An improvement.

Well it will in 2020. Issue is that at least right now it does look like the XP disaster will happen again and much worse. Don't forget it's not only businesses that need to switch but also schools, universities, government stuff,... and most of them don't really have a budget or right people to just upgrade to something else.
