Forced Updates

Did Windows just force people who have Windows updates turn off to take updates?

 

There's been a number W10 users reporting *something* happening along those lines and 'forcing' the upgrade to 1803:

Otherwise, please describe your situation and Windows version, WU settings, etc.

 

No, I have no situation. It just sounds like that Microsoft can get in to anybody PC. Using a backdoor key?

 

Are you running Windows 10? If so, the Home version is very restricted in how much control you're 'allowed' over your computer, the Professional version is better, though currently (W10 v. 1803) as shown in the above links, how much better seems to be controlled by some random variable.

 

I,m not running Win 10. my laptop (Toshiba A-135) has 8.1. So I have to take care of it. (32-bit system)
But my main computer is Linux Ubuntu 18.04.

Back to my question, did Windows force updates?

 

I don't think W8/8.1 have had many updates recently, what's the most recent update you've received?

 

My Windows 8.1 on this hard drive (triple boot, mbr,with W7,8., and w10) did updates yesterday, so must be something updated from Microsoft.

 

I had to reinstall my wifi adaptor (good thing I still have the disk) the latest updates did some damage. On my old laptop Toshiba A-135
