The new 10-day period also applies to reverting to a previous build of Windows 10 for testers participating in the Insider program. Windows 10's return period - which lets users roll back to the preceding OS - has been reduced by two-thirds, to 10 days. Microsoft regularly pointed out that users could restore Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 within the 30-day span if they were dissatisfied, thought they had been pressured into upgrading, or believed they had been duped. Microsoft itself had linked the roll-back and the upgrade offer, and used the feature as a "get out of jail card" when critics panned the company's aggressive campaigns. With that deal off the table - and retail prices for an upgrade running between $110 and $200 - there was less need for a generous trial because fewer customers would be upgrading. While there was no reason to doubt Microsoft's explanation, the timing of the change was almost certainly driven by the July 29 expiration of the year-long free upgrade offer. "As such, we changed the setting to 10 days to free storage space used by previous copies." "Based on our user research, we noticed most users who choose to go back to a previous version of Windows do it within the first several days," a spokesman said in an email. Worse, it’s now possible for your computer to be updated to Windows 10 without your explicit content.Microsoft said that the behind-the-scenes change had been triggered by data gleaned from the voluminous telemetry it collects from Windows 10 devices. It’s a nasty bait-and-switch after months of using an incessant pop-up-which can’t be disabled without the help of registry hacks and other advanced tricks-that wore down users, encouraging them to simply X out of the irritant when it appeared each and every time they opened their computer.
You need to click a small, easily missed link in the pop-up to cancel the upgrade, instead.įurther reading: You will upgrade to Windows 10: Inside Microsoft’s strong-arm tactics
Now, the pop-up says “We will upgrade you at this time,” and pressing the X counts as consent. For the past six months, the “Get Windows 10” pop-up asked permission to start an update, but lacked a “No thanks” option, so the only way to avoid it was to close the window by pressing the X in the upper-right hand corner. Tetapi jika Anda menggunakan trik ini, Anda seharusnya dapat mengembalikan Windows 10 ke. Microsoft’s putting away the carrots and breaking out the sticks in its quest to migrate 1 billion users to Windows 10 over the next couple of years.Īfter pushing out the free upgrade as a Recommended update to Windows 7 and 8 users earlier this year-which means that you downloaded the initial installation bits if you use the default Windows Update, like most people should-Microsoft changed its nagging pop-up prompt in an insidious way over the past week. Jika Anda meng-upgrade ke Windows 10, dari Windows 8.1 atau Windows 7, sistem operasi baru memungkinkan Anda untuk me-rollback Windows 10 ke versi sebelumnya, asalkan Anda melakukan operasi rollback dalam 30 hari.
