I've never known a company push so hard with a product that it's giving away...
MS does seem to be reintroducing Windows Updates that push the Windows 10 installation, which I don't intend to install.
I have not been taking all that much notice of what updates have been installed lately, as I had got rid of the GWX Task Bar icon that was hassling everyone a while ago.
This morning I decided to check my Reliability Monitor & sure enough there was an error showing that Windows 10 had failed. The message shown was as follows.

I have since run the Disable Windows 10 upgrade, that was posted on this forum & can be found here:

Other user might want to check their Reliability Monitor for a similar situation. To do that click on the little flag on the Task Bar near the clock, then click on Open Action Centre, then click on Maintenance, then View reliability History.
Here's how disgusted I've become: I'm seriously considering going back to Vista. It still has a year and a half of life in it. By then I'll be a Linux Ninja. And MS is not likely to put "Get Windows 10" on Vista. there aren't enough people using it. XP now, I wouldn't be surprised. I don't get it. They already have a virtual monopoly on operating systems. Isn't it enough?
Microsoft is like the Bxxxx Hillary.
Do wrong and get away with it
