Windows 10 automatic updates will be impossible to avoid

There will always be a work around, but for most people in SA I assume it could be quite annoying, hope it won't automatically download while gaming.
 
Doesn't seem like an issue to me? Data isn't that expensive any more & an up to date PC is important imo if you do online shopping etc

plus its a new operating system so those updates will definitely be important. i just hope you don't have to download them as soon as they ar released. If I'm playing an online game and they come along, i don't want to get heavy ping spikes

If memory serves, you will still be able to control some aspects of it, you will just be unable to turn it off. I prefer my updates to download after 10pm and no later than 6am

ah okay.. well then that doesn't bother me at all. My windows is always updated :)
 
I'll quickly check. One of my test machines is running Windows 10 (v10.0.10240) which I believe is 99% the same as the RTM version
 
100% agree on the non-issue of auto updates. If there's a way that they can be scheduled to downloaded overnight for example even better. I actually think it's a clever move by MS, especially for the average home user (who, let's be honest, are the vast majority of Windows users) who couldn't be arsed to manage his/her updates themselves. Sounds like pro users will have slightly more control over their updates, so it's all good.
 
Oh, to add to my point about "average consumers", I see MS have now started referring to us as "fans", and not "users" :)
The first Windows 10 consumer ad (at least the first I've seen) kinda emphasizes this focus on average users as well, with very little screen time in the 1 minute ad given to the actual OS, and most of the attention on toddlers and kids who will be the Windows 10 users of the future.

As far as I know, it is always low priority, so if you are busy using the internet, updates will slow down or stop. I've never had an issue with windows updates causing lag in a game.

The biggest issue with Win 10 Pro and up is that you'll need Windows Update for Business (WSUS) to control the updates, failing that you'll have some control over the updates, but not much

Updates will also not install if any application is running full screen. This has been the case since XP actually.
