[quote=Anonymous]Microsoft seems to be pushing out a lot of updates for forcing systems to windows 11 even if you have auto updates turned off. If you leave your PC on overnight, you may get a nasty surprise that it is upgrading without you choosing or getting a notice that it is about to upgrade.

I'm reading horror stories all over the place of auto updates even if your PC doesn't meet Win 11 requirements and then PC's running Windows 10 having problems after the forced updates.

Rollback and restores aren't always working correctly from the forced upgrade.

Some people's MS Office software has stopped working claiming their subscription has not been paid even though they outright purchased it several years ago.

Your system may not be able to handle Windows 11 also.  The main requirements are a processor that's generaltion 8 (for Intel) or newer and a motherboard that supports TPM.  There are other requirements, but these are the biggies.

Do yourself a favor. Back up your critical files sooner rather than later.  Have a path if your system suddenly has major problems.  You always should anyway, but this would be the time to be diligent with your data.

Start reading around on the internet for awareness of the forced upgrade.

The hack below may be able to stop you from getting a forced update to Windows 11....

To disable updates in Windows 10 using the registry, open the Registry Editor by typing "regedit" in the Start menu.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU,

create or modify the NoAutoUpdate value, and set it to 1.

I just do security updates manually. [/quote]
