Whoa, I primarily run Win 10 Pro on my home machine and was assuming that if I'd splashed out for an Enterprise license, I wouldn't be having this problem of extremely pushy/sneaky updates.
It's good to know I'm probably saving hundreds of dollars (if a home user can even buy a single enterprise license without too much hassle) for basically the same pain.
- maljx 8y agoYou can disable these “features” on enterprise but you need to dig around in the settings and google how to do it.
- mohn 8y agoThat's good. It's an ordeal to disable them on Pro, and the once-good guide I found[1] is usually out of date (or some of its settings get overridden) with every major update.

- isostatic 8y ago> That's good No, it's really not.
- mohn 8y agoI could have been more clear. That was directed at the first clause: > You can disable these “features” on enterprise Or are you saying that it's not good that they can be disabled (perhaps because people get lazy, run out-of-date vulnerable software, and end up infected with ransomware or part of a botnet?)
- btschaegg 8y agoMy guess would be that their point is: It's not good that those things are in Windows at all, and it's even worse that you have to dig around to disable them. I'd certainly agree there.
