According to Microsoft, the upgrade process to Windows 10 is completely controlled by users.

Despite the outrage of users about the fact that their computers are upgraded to Windows 10, as soon as they turn away, Microsoft claims that the Win10 update mechanism is completely controlled by users.

Microsoft released the following statement regarding “unplanned” updates:

“We want the upgrade of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 to be extremely easy. Users can schedule an update time, that is, they fully control their devices. It is also possible not to install Windows 10 by removing the update from Windows Update (WU) by changing the settings, ” reports hothardware.com.

Reporter " Kotaku " Patrick Klipik one of many who have Windows 7 was against his will to upgrade to Windows 10 :

“I have been using Windows 7 for several years, dodging the installation of Windows 8, since everyone told me that it’s just a nuisance. Windows 7 was a comfortable OS. I knew what and where it lies. And yet, I understand that updates are important and necessary, especially in terms of security. I, as a rule, am a person who "rolls in" updates as soon as possible. But the computer is a huge part of my life. Some problems with the PC are difficult to fix and the new operating system could become such a problem.

Last week, I was thinking to stop being an “ancient dinosaur” and upgrade to Windows 10. What I didn’t expect was to wake up on Thursday morning and find out that Windows took care of it for me (with the loss of all my settings). Maybe I forgot to postpone the update, maybe I accidentally scheduled it by pressing the wrong button. In any case, I definitely did not intend to install Windows 10. ”

Reddit is still replete with messages from angry users. For example, MalekuaMan writes: “I leave home for two days and when I return I find out that I now have Windows 10. What the *****”. Another user under the nickname rtn1797 also suffered from Microsoft's “care”: “My Win7 machine was updated to Win10 without my permission about two days ago. I rolled back the update, but now there’s a hint that is constantly open, asking me to select the update time to Windows 10 ... WTF ... how can I get rid of it? "

Nobody says that Microsoft is trying to diminish this problem, but why did the computers of all these people simultaneously upgrade to Windows 10 under similar circumstances? Microsoft should publish an official statement that will shed light on this issue.
