thx for the info, also Windows should have a feature to change folders as easily as FolderChanger. Google "FolderChanger", works great

For all the people saying that Windows update can't be disabled on Windows 10 there is actually a way to do it. You need to open Device manager and select the "Services" option. From the list of Windows services you can disable the Windows update service completely. Enjoy

Upgraded to Windows 10, Used it for an hour.. back again to Windows 7. (:

The first setting you turn off isn't necessarily a good idea - the start screen works better on a touch screen than the start menu.
I also don't understand why turning WiFi sense off is an advantage, but okay...

It is the new security conditions with Windows 10 that is worrying and everyone looking for an answer. the technical part can be solved over time.

Why would they set the default to restart automatically? Would have been so annoying for it to restart half way through watching a video or playing a game

[edweagle]

Hrmmm... it joins open wireless systems itself by default...  yeah... can't see a security issue there... nope.
