Instead it just returns a list of updates that I can easily choose what to download and install. Whereas with Windows 8.1 I can simply turn off updates and also perform a check for updates any time I wish without worrying it will trigger the download of something. At some point they would automatically re-enable themselves and start running again which only contributed to the feeling the OS is not in my control anymore.
I also did not like the implementation of various services (SIH Client, WaasMedic and Update Orchestrator) and scheduled tasks that would periodically run even if you had disabled them. What really pushed me over the edge was the change to Windows updates where there is no longer a simple method to turn off updating like previous OS versions. They are rock solid systems and run very well with only reboots once a month to take a system image before installing Microsoft updates.īoth PC’s came with Windows 10 but after a few months I grew tired of the “OS as a service” where it felt like the system was serving Microsoft’s wishes instead of my own.
I’m still using Windows 8.1 Pro on two Dell desktop PC’s along with Classic Shell to make the UI similar to Windows 7.
