Comment on Disable windows updates
Brkdncr@lemmy.world 1 week agoWin11 isnt forced.
Breaking vpns was a result of security fixes and was addressed. This is normal for all OS’s that get patched.
There’s no restarting without prompting.
Copilot is optional.
I don’t need to go on.

Win11 was forcibly installed on my coworker’s computers. This happened more than once. …microsoft.com/…/why-is-my-windows-10-pro-system-…
What if you needed to use a VPN between May 1 and May 14? pcworld.com/…/microsofts-newest-windows-update-br…
I guess I hallucinated my computer restarting by itself on multiple occasions due to Microsoft updates, even after I disabled the services, before I nuked every sign of it from the registry and the reboots suddenly stopped. Crazy. superuser.com/…/windows-updates-forcibly-rebootin…
Copilot appeared with regular updates on my sister’s computer, unprompted. …microsoft.com/…/a4fce101-b9e8-4d10-9c15-1f835000…
There were easy to find examples of everything that I said, some of them happened to myself, my family, or my coworkers. If you’re going to be blatantly wrong and easily disproved then maybe you shouldn’t go on after all.

It was pretty simple to stop windows 11.
Updates will eventually restart but not unprompted. There is a combination of settings you can set that will install updates right away and restart soon after, but it’s not default.
The vpn issue didn’t affect all vpn software and a workaround was available.
MS adds features to their products and are pretty forceful about getting you to use them.
