It's only automatic if you keep the settings W10 wants you to keep, I have notifications asking me if I want to proceed. Apparently it's a cumulative update to the new Anniversary build, and yes I did let it install and it's running fine.

Windows is only an operating system of which there are others. Linux is more robust and bullet proof and doesnt suffer from the Upgrade problems of the Apple IOS or Windows. Although in fairness, apple and microsoft do correct any update failings very quickly.
Linux is more user controllable meaning it can be tuned and tweeked easily to suit the requirements of the individual user.
I use various versions of Windows on my machines and generally they work well.

Linux really only lends itself to those who possess a tech ability which is beyond many, me included.

You can prevent Win 10 from automatically update / reboot.
Just Google this and get the instructions from "How to Geek". Alternatively, ditch Windows and get Linux.
I wouldn't agree with you about Linux, Cyberyacht. While it gives the user a lot of control, in its basic form, it's quite intuitive. I've started to use Ubuntu 16.04 and it's fantastic. It doesn't carry the baggage of Windows or hassle you with unwanted
updates. You don't have to use the power it has on offer.0 -
i left my laptop running last night to update the sat nav and it ran the auto update too.
No internet connection so I took
it to the shop and nice man cracked it by reloading the drivers. Another customer came in to collect him and his network card had needed replacing. Nice man doesn't charge if he can fix in under 30 mins. Good business practice I say! He advised reloadingWindows
7 which doesn't appeal to me much. This laptop came with 8.1 so I guess I would need to pay to get win7 back?0 -
The windows 10 update, caused problems with sage accounts, locked me and many others who use it out! Sage had a fix, but annoying at the time, just hope nothing else happens!

Win10 did a major update a few days ago and also installed the annoying software Cortana (I thought that was an old car).
Google chrome is often having trouble with Win10 so I now use Firefox a lot more.
Despite its problems it is better than Win8 for none touch screen laptops IMHO.

When it comes to computers I'm probably better off with an etch a sketch.
Since upgrading to windows 10, I've had nothing but problems, having to boot up a few times before it runs correctly.
Sometimes it doesn't pick up the Internet, sometimes the wireless mouse and keyboard.
Had to boot it up 5 times this morning, will be booting it out of the window shortly.

I wonder if it makes a difference what you have upgraded from and which computer. Apart from the most recent problem with the upgrade its been trouble free on my Acer laptop which wasn't more than a few months old when I went from 8.1 to 10. However I remember
XP Pro with great fondness!0 -
I've had similar problems to ivor. Six months ago, I spent a small fortune on a high end HP computer with an i7 processor and 16 Gb of Ram. Everything was fine until August 27 when there was a major upgrade of Windows 10. From that day onwards, it would load ony a few web pages but not the majority and there were loads of other niggles that weren't there before the upgrade. A system restore back to before the upgrade seemed to solve the problems for a short while - until the upgrade loaded again. Having eliminated all possible causes - internet connection, conflict with AV software, firewall settings etc, I eventually took it back to Currys from where it originated. After 3 trips backwards and forwards to the store (and a total mileage of over 120 miles!), two of their techies were still baffled as to the cause - other than the update. (MS telephone support appears to have been withdrawn after 29 July when the free W10 upgrade finished). When they started talking about trying a new hard drive / network card / etc etc etc, I told them I had had enough and fortunately both they and the store manager were sympathetic. I was given a full refund and put it towards a Mac - which is something I have been considering buying for years. Although it has, so far, been a steep learning curve - and I miss some of the familiar Windows features, I am now experiencing trouble-free computing and have my fingers crossed that I have made the right decision!

Beginning to wish that I had stayed with "7"
Updates take a age on ten, even overnight. On start up again I'm told that a restart is scheduled for a certain time usually in the next ten minutes
......So
much for me thinking all the restarts had been done overnight
