Windows 10

My ASUS laptop came with licensed Windows 10 pre-installed. So it provided no way to disable Windows Update, which is the most annoying thing in the universe. I tried to disable Windows Update service through services.msc and taskschd.msc, but Windows 10 kept re-enabling it and annoying me with useless updates.

So I took ownership over c:\Windows and physically deleted the service's files c:\Windows\system32\wuaueng.dll, qmgr.dll, TrustedInstaller.exe, and also SIHClient.exe and UsoClient.exe because I don't need that garbage. I won, there was no updating anymore. Yet Windows 10 started displaying "Activate Windows Go to Setting to activate Windows" text in bottom right corner.

There is no way to activate Windows 10 now, it says Error code: 0xC004F012 "We can't activate Windows on this device right now." So I had to use illegal activator software, which pirates use to activate Windows 10. That software got me viruses (besides the backdoors Microsoft already includes in Windows 10). So thank you, dear Microsoft, for destroying perfectly fine Windows NT and forcing users to go through this. Hope now my computer will be part of botnet, which will DDoS Microsoft.com. Better with viruses, than with Windows Update. Viruses behave much nicer than Windows Update and consume less resources. The choice is obvious! And I'm dead serious, without any trolling.

Good luck with your horrible software practices, Microsoft, you have managed to completely break what was good in Windows 7 and Windows XP!

He wouldn't listen anyway. Which is why LibertyBSD exists in the first place.

That is why you should always keep system update turned off. Even security updates. It can fix security hole, but still slow down your PC.

Sure, maybe in the proprietary world. When people do that with free software, as with systemd and gnome3, the minority of people who don't care fuck off and carve out their own niche.

>>43
Nothing "sure" about it, buddy.

>>44
What's unsure about it, then, friend?

gnome3

GNOME was bad even prior to version 3, but your point still stands.

Disable Windows update now, or you will be hit with 30% slowdown!

Crucially, these updates to both Linux and Windows will incur a performance hit on Intel products. The effects are still being benchmarked, however we're looking at a ballpark figure of five to 30 per cent slow down, depending on the task and the processor model.

So use AMD and *BSD instead

>>48

I already have AMD E1

>>49
Great. Now all you need to do is install Free, Net or OpenBSD.

I told you to disable auto-update! But you made fun out of me and kept downvoting the old Jew. Finally it happened. And who is laughing now? Oh.. wait... you can't reply now! lol.

lol AMD cucks BTFO

That's the only solution.

Microsoft's MVP threatens users with persecution for disabling Windows Update
https://answers.microsoft.com/ru-ru/windows/forum/windows_10-update-winpc/%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%BB%D1%8E%D1%87%D0%B8%D1%82/b15b8831-845e-4d1d-814d-106d11d7264a
Right there on microsoft.com domain, a person named Grand_Ross threatens that if user disables Windows Update on Windows 10, they are violating EULA and as such are liable under criminal law.

Your attempts to disable Windows Update are prohibited by articles 1229 and 1235 of Federal Law 230-ФЗ..., will be qualified by Law as illegal use of software, with all legal circumstances, as per article 7.12 of Federal Law 195-ФЗ, articles 1251, 1301 of Federal Law 230-ФЗ, also second and third parts of article 146 of Federal Law 63-ФЗ...

I won't dive into administrative articles, but article 146 is a criminal article (felony in common law terms) which carry maximum punishment of prison - 2 years max and 6 years max for parts 2 and 3.
And in case you wondering, part 2 is illegal use of copyrighted material, which requires damages of $5000, which should obviously make it irrelevant for owner of a single Windows license. Part 3 requires a criminal group, $20000 in damages or being a high-ranked official. Obviously even more irrelevant.

But still the damage is there. A MVP, i.e. a person trusted by Microsoft, giving a legal advice that turning Windows Update off (or maybe even failing to get updates by never turning on the wireless) may land you in court.

The Year of Linux on The Desktop is much nearer, thanks to Microsoft.
