Not so far thankfully.

Win7 test machine: running GWX app, Upgrade enabled, other Win10-related updates hidden. Settings still “Give me recommended” checked, “let me choose” set. No upgrade to Win10 update, checked or unchecked. No downloaded install bits. Will keep checking from now till July 30.

Maybe the countdown GWX app is going to dump Win10 on everybody before (or when) it zeros out!
Wouldn’t put it past MS.

I disagree with that setting. I strongly believe the setting should be never. I have seen many cases in which the setting let me choose automatically updates if a user does not review and uncheck recommended checked updates before shutting down.

Never does not mean never update. It means Microsoft, I will not allow you to decide if, what and when I update. I have complete control.

In many cases, users are flummoxed because there is a background WU process going on. The way to stop that is a NEVER setting.

I still think you’re barking up the RIGHT tree here PKCano, who knows what MS has set for a “default action” when the countdown hits zero?

Has ANYBODY questioned MS yet about what happens if users make no choice?

I haven’t seen the question – or an answer.

Possibly off topic…….. but was passed an email from MS re their Service Agreement and Privacy Statement…….. which interestingly the Service
Agreement comes into place on the 15th Sept ’16….
and the Privacy Statement will come into effect on the 2nd August ’16. Does the latter date ring a
bell ??

On first glance appears to be rather vague….. as usual…….. but perhaps someone with a better eye
may be able to define their intentions more accurately… LT

Interesting. I don’t see anything glaring but, as you say, somebody might be able to pick out more info.

Actually was looking at it all further and found something which would be nice to have clarified by MS and failing MS others This was in the Privacy bit about YOUR CONTENT……… and I quote:

“b. To the extent necessary to provide the Services to you and others, to protect you and the Services, and to improve Microsoft products and services,

YOU GRANT TO MICROSOFT A WORLDWIDE AND ROYALTY-FREE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENCE TO USE YOUR CONTENT, FOR EXAMPLE, TO MAKE COPIES OF, RETAIN, TRANSMIT, REFORMAT, DISPLAY AND DISTRIBUTE VIA COMMUNICATION TOOLS YOUR CONTENT ON THE SERVICES. IF YOU PUBLISH YOUR CONTENT IN AREAS OF THE SERVICE

WHAT DOES ALL THAT MEAN I WONDER……. ABOUT THE
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LICENCE TO USE YOUR CONTENT.
