Microsoft refused to trick with the upgrade to Windows 10, which began to close the pop-up window

    Microsoft refused the dirty trick with installing an update to Windows 10 to close the pop-up window.
    This happened after a wave of righteous wrath of users that hit the company. The company said it added an additional notice to allow the user to opt out of the upgrade.

    The free upgrade of Windows versions 7 and 8 to a new one, the 10th, launched almost a year ago, was first well received by users. But then, when some users decided to wait for the update (for example, due to Win10's increased curiosity about the user's actions), reminders about the possibility of an upgrade began to become more and more intrusive.

    In the end, the company sank to the point that its updates, installing Windows 10, began to behave like polymorphic viruses , and a couple of days ago, they started doing disinformation at all. Not only that in the pop-up window notifying that a new version of the OS was installed, there was no way to refuse it (there are “yes, install now” and “yes, install later” buttons). So now when you try to close this window with a “cross” in the corner, the user still received the launch of the system upgrade.

    Such a violation of the principles of the interface and the oppression of freedom of choice genuinely angered users. PC World's chief editor, Brad Chacos [Brad Chacos], called this behavior a “dirty trick.” At the same time, Chakos calls himself a fan of the new Windows 10. He called the current state of affairs “too intrusive” and compared it with an attempt to “swap gas and brake in the car”.

    Different users note that after starting the installation of the update it is very difficult to stop, which is especially annoying if it caught you in the middle of an important job. Some attempts to roll back to Windows 7 ended with the need to reinstall the system from scratch.

    No matter how beautiful and surprising the new operating system may be, Microsoft must respect the opinions and desires of users — after all, their computers still belong to themselves, and it is up to them to decide what to install or not install on them.
