Is a MONSTER...On the 2nd day and it's still not complete.
Scared to turn updates off, but have not seen one this heavy since buying computer 3 years ago.

When my machines had Window 7, and we loved Windows 7, I downloaded a software call "Never 10". It stopped all the requests and automated update attempts which were pissing me off.

This past January I purchased new machines, so now we're on Windows 10. Small learning curve, and I hate learning curves or anything that takes time away from me, but I'm good now.

Every time my computer does a windows 10 update, i feel like i then have to restart my cpu 3 times in a row so all my programs will be working right.

Also pisses me off b/c when i leave work every day, i leave a few programs/documents open

I'm at 93% installing and it's been there for awhile. Normally cut my computer off at night, but it will stay on tonight!

It has finally completed the update and then there was another behind that which was a small one.

What I NEED to KNOW, is : At some point will I be forced to buy a new computer simply because of Windows downloads... I did find how to look for storage available and I still have 70%..But these type of updates it seems would force me to get a new computer because of updates.... Keeping in mind and I know nothing, that Microsoft says Windows 10 will be the final Windows.. I'm too stupid to understand where this is heading.

Thats why i had to buy a new cpu last year or the year before (cant remember)...I had 524 gb (or something like that) and the windows updates were KILLING my storage. I think i have 1TB for now.

Its the same thing for the iphone. You get more storage but those IOS updates just destroy your storage space

I understand what you're saying....and honestly I'm not computer literate. Does Microsoft make their own computers ? Or--Are they in bed with some computer company? It all doesn't make sense to me unless they do.... I used to get it when then went down the road ow Windows numbers...But if 10 is the last one? Umm

When the windows 10 update was first available a few years ago, my IT sent a mass email to his clients telling us NOT to do the update. When i purchased my new CPU a year or 2 ago, Windows 10 came with it.

I dont think windows 10 will be the last one b/c in the tech field, there is NEVER a "last one" so these companies can take more $$$$ out of us.

All i know is I dread those mornings when i walk into my office and see that a windows update was done and my CPU was restarted

It's in writing that 10 would be the last one..... and I hear you. Bill and Linda Gates are considered decent people....but MONEY may change everything
