Well...how about "our HW vendor has been promising WinX drivers for some months now, but for now, supported OSes end at Win 8.1"? Is MS still in the best position to decide "eh never mind, it's not like you are actually using that very specific piece of hardware - off to WinX you go"?
In other words, "I am not capable of deciding" does not translate into "therefore everyone gets force-fed the upgrade (because of course they're not capable of deciding, either)."
- captainmuon 10y agoWell I agree if you have a good reason (like a lack of driver) then you absolutely should be able to delay or cancel the update. I think there are two different questions. Should updates auto-install by default (after a warning), and should you be able to reject any update? I'd say yes to both, but unfortunately Microsoft tends to no for both sometimes.
