I recently had it happen to me and it was a real pain getting my machine rolled back to windows 7
It starts with all those little memo windows popping up telling you about win 10 but this week what is happening is a window pops up and asks when do you want to schedule your update if you dismiss it next thing you know it says thank you and when it will update your machine . If you did not catch that fast little dialog yes you wake up and find Windows 7 has been installed on your machine. or it will happen right while you are in the middle of doing something important on your machine like doing payroll or editing audio and video etc.
THE RESULTS CAN BE TERRIFYING
RADIO STATIONS ON REMOTE CONTROL HAVE HAD ISSUES AND HAD AUDIO STREAMS SHUT DOWN IN MIDDLE OF NIGHT AND NO EMERGENCY BROADCAST ALERTS CAN BE SENT . It happened to radio station chain I provide contract engineering services to.
SURVEILLANCE CAMERA SYSTEMS CAN NOT BE ACCESSED
RESTAURANTS AND RETAILERS RUNNING POS POINT OF SALE SOFTWARE ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN NO LONGER USE THE SOFTWARE
FIRE DEPTS CAN NOT PAGE OUT PERSONNEL AND SEND THEM INFO WHERE TO RESPOND TO
TIME CLOCKS CAN NOT BE ACCESSED AND DOOR ACCESS AND GATES CAN NOT BE CONTROLLED OR OVERRIDDEN
The problem older software programs which have not had there drivers updated to work with Windows 10.
There is a reason why people have not been updating and Microsoft knows full well the lives they are putting at risk and damage they are causing I have filed a report and complaint with US Justice dept and Pa States attorney general over it. Microsoft knows many company's wait several months before updating computers and software to make sure all bugs have been worked out and in some cases company's have gone out of business and there will never be updates thats why you are keeping those old windows 98 , XP etc running Why are they shoving it on us.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO STOP IT?
Luckily a company called Gibson Research has released a small program which can stop the update and take files out. the program can be found at following link.
You can also remove from windows update the following update number KB3035583
There needs to be a massive class action suit against Microsoft for all the damage and cost they have caused people and I will be one of the first to gladly sign up for it. after the week of hell myself and my customers have gone thru there is no excuse for what Microsoft has done .
This has been a issue in the Fire alarm and security world. Many of the programs we use for programming dont like windows 8 or 10. I have 2 laptopa with me. The company one that runs windows 7 and my personal Toughbook with a comm port to run older programs that work past Windows XP and dont like USB to Comm adapters
