I can't. I bought windows. If I don't want the new version or the new patches I damn well shouldn't be forced to use them. This crap doesn't fly with anything else, why do we accept it with software? Would it be ok for GMC to come to my house at night and replace a recalled part on my truck in my garage without my explicit consent?

Vaccinations are important because they protect you and the people around you. Likewise, secure machines connected to the internet are good for the owner and everybody else on the internet. I get what you are saying, but I think the forced patches on consumer machines is at least arguable. The forced collection of data seems less defensible to me.
